Hillbilly lawn mower
Woody, how did the lawn mower do over the summer? It was a great mod, gave you more time to ride. How about a long term review? Like in the Motorcycle and Car magazines. What do ya think?

Love it -- works better than I expected.
The only mod needed over the winter is to change the dolly wheels to heavier duty units. The ones I used were hanging on the wall from another project, they were cheap HF units & the bearings were destroyed after one use. Had 3 other pair of them & they all died after one use. Have a pair of better wheels but will need to relocate the axle boss height (mount height). May make stub axles to mount the original tractor rear wheels/tires on the bolt on dolly. Will decide which direction to take when I get into it depending on the time I can spend on it. Take care. Found the link to the mower thread for those of you that missed it. I Built a Hillbilly Lawn Mower hahahahha
