Mule

Johnny ended up delivering the tractor this aft. She's a beast as far as new law tractors go. The grill and front of the hood are cast iron.



Turns out the wheel width is 36 inches, I want 42 so don't think 3 inch spacers should be a big overload.



Want to test the hydrostatic drive so started mounting the new engine. Had to chop away some of the frame to get the engine in and remove the hood and grill.



Need to make up a drive shaft now. One small glitch, the old engine ran the transaxle off the fan end so I'll be spinning it backwards on the pto end. That won't be a problem but they had it set up to go slower in reverse, hoping its only a linkage thing.
