doing my own mods

im not cheep just bored waiting for the grass to grow.still in the 40s here in western ny. i made my own grass shoot.hard plastic doesnt hold up and it would have cost me about $70 in parts to order.instead i went to tractor suply and bought a thick rubber matt $17 and the steele came from a old bed frame. put a eye hook on it so i can tie it up when needed.also my front bumper was dented and chiped up.banged it out and for a couple beers by buddy powder coated it gold vein.

I might have to borrow that idea Arcticzl - im rebuilding a 85 Craftsman LT11 rear discharge decked tractor- the original chute is all ripped and messed up .

Modding a tractor is okay- just when its 'redneck engineered' cause the owner was too cheep - like welding hangars and pulleys together ( crooked- not straight ) , using pieces of wood for the seat mount ( one of my tractors had that- was infested with termites too) , bolting oddball gas tanks to the hood , ect is when its a bad thing ( ive seen plenty of it).
