I started this homemade utility vehicle with the lawnmower. It was a good winter project. I cut the frame and lengthened it by 2 feet. I moved the motor back one foot. I build\t a seat so two of us could ride it at one time. The steering column is in the middle so I can sit in the middle if alone. I made the back of the bed hinge down for easy loading of things. I put a ball on it so I could tow small trailers. I also made a snow plow for it. My wife and I bought some remnant fabric and covered the seat that I made. We used recycled foam from seat cushions from my parents' motor home. I bought new tires for the front and back. I had to modify the rims that came on the lawnmower so the new larger tires would fit.. I will show that process in the next post.

this is exactly what I want to do. Any instructions would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHow wide is the rear axle? Measuring from the outside of each tire? Thanks

ReplyDeleteCan you email me the measurements/steps you took? I’d like to build one, but I can’t find a blueprint.
