Garden Cart From Lawn Tractor Frame

[gsl54]

I am not sure if this is the right Forum for this topic, but here goes. I have an old Murray lawn tractor that has no motor,it still has the transaxel. it is basicaly all there except the motor. I remember seeing on line where someone built a garden trailer/cart out of a tractor frame. The tung was built so that the front wheels turned in the direction it was being pulled. I wish I could remember the web site, but it was some time ago. If anyone knows of a site,or a place where I could view plans or videos would be great.

You are basically talking about building something like this

Farm-Tuff Utility Trailer — 4000-Lb. Capacity, Model# 04037 | Farm Utility Trailers| Northern Tool + Equipment

You can cut the frame and extend it and make a pivot in front to connect the steering linkage from the front wheels. Take a trip to tractor supply and look at their radio flyer toy wagons (like the one you probably had as a kid). Construct it the same way just bigger.
