I have the blade and the rear lift for Brinley attachments. Motor is a Tecumseh H70 from an old Bolens snow blower. Electric plug in start for the winter months.

Thanks for the comments. The JD A seat is pretty comfy compared to the pan seat I have for it.

A friend of mine owns one of the Strucks..... he is located in Coshocton, Ohio. He told me he has owned his for 10 years. His Struck has a FEL installed.

I had never seen one until seeing his.

Weighs about 370lbs without the operator. Much less than a 4x4 four wheeler.

He must have lots of ballast to keep it from tipping. Would like to see pics.

I talked to my friend and he has a model M-1612 with the 12 hp Kohler, and he has never installed the manual bucket - it's NOS. I said it was a FEL, but it is a bucket (?) by Struck that he has never installed.

Could you possibly give us a picture of the drive system. I've been researching different companies looking to build a crawler. There is one guy on utube who put band breaks on a Wheel horse and welded teeth to the rims. Wondering how they did it in your machine. Good luck with the fix, Nice looking unit.

Depends on how you drive it. Gravel drive here which I will use to grade it.

Thanks for the link. Your attention to detail is off the scale. Absolutely amazing craftmanship. This website is full of talent. Hats off to ya boss, I hope the machine exceeds your expectations. If I do try to fabricate something, going to have to try awfully hard to stay with present company here. Thanks much again.
