The CheapJeep

Forgot to mention I made a spacer for my drag link. Kind of janky but it works. Just cut a 2" piece of scrap tube, welded a washer on both ends, and voila... I guess I'm becoming somewhat of a joo these days, at least it looks good and functions correctly. :flipoff2:

sounds dangerous, no street time right? only a trial clogger from now on?

uhhhh...huhuhhhh...
is this going between the heim and steering arm?

Thanks, but it's a temporary fix until I get a flat top spacer.

was that scrap tube your chromoly or regular tube

Wedge something to hold the hydrostatic lever in go.

More power does not make more broken parts. The 258 has enough power to break things. Traction breaks parts, that's why I run slick tires.

You'll have to forgive him, do you really expect any real thought in a thread that has "jeep" in its title. :flipoff2:

20k daily driver??! im pulling my 5k daily driver out prob.

I was just throwing a number out there...

I just thought of another reason why Kopecki's idea wouldn't work. The seat has a sensor in which a certain amount of weight has to be placed upon the seat in order for the tractor to move. When I was younger and didn't weigh as much I'd bounce around in the seat while mowing and the tractor would shut off.

do you think a kopeki tractor has that sensor on it
