This is exactly why RedSquare is the best community. Ideas flow freely no matter how kooky some are. (mine)

As cheap as snowplows are these days, I figured my extra one would be an economical base to build upon. The gold is just some cheap paint to highlight the dry cement and dents.

I like it a lot but sad to see those awesome OTRs on the rears used just for rollers, (its your project and who am I to tell you what to do with them), maybe later a set of 24x12-12 turfs for some smooth riding steam rollers? Again like it a lot.

Yes, My Cub 100 is wearing a pair of those and I can switch em. During this mock up stage I'm dreaming of Silver Lake Michigan running wild on the sand dunes

I must disagree but I do understand your opinion. No one knows other than I that my personal experience is with WH. I grew up on them and when I left the nest WH was my first and only tractor for the next 50 years. In retirement I explored other brands and found some of their components are better than what I can make. So other than pushing the limits, my "Frankenstein" is no different than others and is a  "Works in progress-mild to wild". In which I added, to the extreme.

Today's progress was cutting a hole in the bucket thus committing the location of the sleering box location. Upon review I am going to move everything back 6" because I may have to open the "dash" to extend my legs. The go kart seat I am considering may also need extra space and I think opening the back will also be required, but with careful consideration to retaining cosmectic apperance. The addition of a short truck bed will help with the seat location and will hold the battery and gas tank.  The drive belt is my biggest concern clearing the tub to a pulley on the solid axle. Engine in the front, no transmission, centrifugal clutch and one forward speed. I also have to shorten the steering column

Maybe cut down the size of the axle pulley by using a jack shaft with pulleys between the engine and axle?

Or a right angle gear box and or use of a torque converter instead of a centrifugal clutch?

Not too long ago @dells68 was building a wheelbarrowwheelhorse custom and @prondzy built the "Tub Rat" so rest assured you aren't breaking any laws around here. Also, John @wallfish made a motorcycle out of a :wh: snowplow frame.

Great idea wallfish. together with your "engineering blueprint" I now have a very good idea how I will setup the jack shalft

 

I had Donna take these photos so I could see how it fits me. I now see I would rather keep my feet inside and stretch the bucket But that can change. I got my second covid-19 shot today

I agree with keeping th our feet inside the tub.  Go ahead and stretch it.  Maybe find a donor tub to help you along.

@giddyap I don’t recall, do you weld?  I’m sure the stretching of a tub has very similar shapes with the lip, but there will likely be a lot of pie cuts and shaping to go along...
