1986 Lowe's MTD garden tractor. Briggs and Stratton 18hp I/C Twin, 13 speed trans-axle
No idea where I'm going with this, but it will probably be very ugly and useless when I'm done.
Front axle mocked up.
I think things would look better and be a bit simpler if I stretched the frame a bit and moved the axle forward.
Checked to see if the motor still fits behind the axle. Looks like I'll need to move it back a couple inches and make new exhaust. I may need to notch the dash too, I'll look at that later. I also notched the axle mount plates so I can swap them across the frame and use the stock mounting holes for the grill.
