  • Front mounted ATV mower made from dairy cattle & chicken recycled fence posts and other scrap metal, electrical cabinet door, homemade ATV tracks wheels and CNC cut sprockets leftovers, old table top steel framing, Ski-Doo 377 steering linkage, used car rear axle and a Honda GX340 general purpose engine. Every part except belts, bearings and some bolts are reused and used even for the third time. It's cheap and functional.

    Thanks, I got to hand it you, (and whoever taught you) you really know how to metal fab, probably anything you set your mind to.

    You had me at rubber couplings to minimize rock damage to drive system. And then you brought out the caterpillar drive. Bravo sir, bravo.

    Your shop has a nice assortment of tools and your knowledge & skill using them is very impressive. Great build! I enjoy reclaiming, reusing, recycling what is on hand & enjoy getting ideas from other DIYers that do the same. Stay well, Joe Z

    It's clear you have given a lot of thought to the various components of this build. From the rubber isolator, to the over-center motor engagement.

    You mastered that mower the blades are perfectly in line and in balance to the last gram, a couple weeks ago I was mower grass for hay on are farm with a 4 drum I think it 2.5 meter in length and the blade holder snapped of becoming a brick when though it and it shuck its balls off the part weighs 250 grams and the parts shop didn't have a new one so I had to weld one together and I was 30 grams to heavy and I thought it close enough got to the field started her up and it's going off again like crazy just shows what a good job you did to get it spot on 👍

  • @bodiedominguez
    @bodiedominguez Před 5 lety

    Very cool. I miss welding and fabricating. I worked at a company where I was the Lead mechanic with all my plus rates (welder-mechanic-machinist-pipefitter-millwright) so I had lots of tittles and The ones I used the most was my welding, mechanic, and machinist. I was forced out at 62, (Down sizing)and I miss that job, but I really enjoy being retired. I am building up my equipment, but I need a tabletop lathe.
