lawn tractor video

Sorry that this video is not very good, but it gives you an idea of what it is like. This video is of one of the first times I drove it, which is why I'm taking so long to start driving. The steering device is the yellow handle that you see when I'm driving. My friend, Nate, is adjusting the back of the lawn tractor, he was puting it in four wheel drive. The lawn tractor will drive about 15 t0 20 miles per hour. It doesn't have brakes so trying to stop can be a problem. I am working on the brakes and a front bumper.

This photo is of the of the front of the tractor. Notice the fuel tank, this is off of a push lawn mower, but it works pretty well. The yellow handle you see is the winch handle I use for steering.



This tractor that I'm making does not have a steering wheel I thought that a winch would work better. I'm using a 2000 lbs. winch for the steering. The flywheel on the back is used for wieght because the front end is very heavy. I've been working on this tractor for about 3-4 months now. It started out as a regular lawn mower.

This tractor may look strange, but try and get it stuck. This is a lawn mower that is being made with scratch materal. I have combined two craftsman lawn mowers together to make a 4x4 articulating lawn tractor.
