Lets see some off roaders complete or not. I know mine know where complete. Just wanted to see what you guys use for off roading and maybe you would use in the future. Just a question any of you use a cub cadet for off roading?

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine. |

It looks good. How does the opposed twin hold up in mud areas does it bog down at all?

I know my single cylinder 17.5 doesn't back down, I run 23" atv tires, and they hook hard. I was out getting muddy this weekend at it was doing well. I ran on packed dirt, mud and sand all in one 13 hour riding day, it trooped right through, tires are too big and grabby for doughnuts though, except in mud, of course.

Alright, i wasnt gunna show yall my ATLM project till i got time to work on it, but! for the sake of keeping the board alive, here it is.     My uncle started this long before i knew about ATLM's but his wife made him get ride of it. He built the rear rack (soon to be covered in wood) so that we could haul deer outta the woods. He added a front "rack" for lights and weights since it is very light up front as it is. He couldnt get the rear axle figured out, so when he gave it to me i bought a live axle for it. I will be working on it as soon as i find time. (Ill be moving soon and i have other things to worry about) Hope you enjoy -Phil p.s. he also did the custom camo job. |

Hardly. It just creates massive amounts of driveline damage!  |

Heres my Sears, the only running offroader right now(these are not recent pictures). My Toro project is dead for now, not enough funding. This is from '73 and it has a 16hp Tecumseh OHV on it which is due for a new set of rings ASAP.   |
