my left overs
at the urging of Jess i am going to post this
i had purchased a 102 for parts
well i had an idea that with some friends help is starting to become a reality
i wanted to convert it to a 100 while still using the 102 grill and then have some fun
yes a full steel tricycle

Re: my left overs
Chris , i find it easier to understand what a person is making when they have pictures . When you started to explain that you were using parts off a 100 - 122 - 124 etc , I was having trouble seeing it in my mind .
An all steel wheel tricycle cub .....Cool
Keep us updated on your project , we like pictures .

I see a lot of cub cadets while going down the tracks , its a shame I can't pull over and ask about them .

Re: my left overs
Very cool project!
Make sure you add cleats to the rears so you get plenty of traction when you plow with it
Did you have the rings rolled or is it tube of some sort?

Re: my left overs
The first pics show a 102 frame,grill and hood and the new ones with the back wheels mounted show a 100 frame and hood with a 102 grill.Are you building two or just trying to figure which style looks best?

Re: my left overs
that is still the 102 grill and frame ( i cut off the old tunnel and changed it to a short tunel to be like a 100 frame) am using the 100 dash and probably the 102 hood so it will matchup better on the grillBigMike wrote:The first pics show a 102 frame,grill and hood and the new ones with the back wheels mounted show a 100 frame and hood with a 102 grill.Are you building two or just trying to figure which style looks best?

Re: my left overs
Chris,it appears you live in a sub division.Do your neighbors drive/walk by and look at you funny for building "goofy lawn mowers"?
That's going to be a very cool Cub when you are done.

Re: my left overs
Most of my neighbors(and most anyone that knows me) look at me funny too.
All I have to say is if you don't like the way my yard looks you are more than welcome to pay the mortage and taxes
One thing I wondered was how did you go about laying out the spokes?
The other thing that crossed my mind was how cool it would be to roll angle for front rims and mount the in a V pattern like some of the old steelys were.

I am waiting on the weather so I can paint
the front wheels weigh 16 lbs each
the rears are a whopping 40lbs each

Chris,paint is always a good sign.
Grief about the car?........that's probably the fastest I have ever seen a Camaro go
Sorry,I am a B or A body Mopar guy.

Re: my left overs

I laughed when your son first started the video with the camera upside down .
Looks like a nice neighborhood , I bet your neighbors think you've lost your mind .......mine do all the time .
Especially with some of the rusty junk vintage equipment I bring home .
