i dove head long into my next project this afternoon! a mini 6x6 that i got from Gus Marone (via George). a huge thanks to both is in order. it came less the motor and belts, and is in need of some wheel bushings and other odds and ends. i found the 20" belts at a local hardware store this afternoon, and chain from a bicycle shop. lowes had the bushings for the axles and jack shafts, but they only stock 4 so i'll have to do them a few at a time. i got the belts into the machine, new bushings on the jackshafts and chain between the 2 jackshafts. the engine is mounted and body trimmed to fit around it (not sure what engine it had originally, but it wasn't a 5hp briggs). tomorrow i'll have to weld up a sprocket to go on the engine, and run 1 more chain. a few billett aluminum handles for the steering sticks and a little body work... hopefully i can have it done in time for my son's birthday on saturday
