JEEP GARDEN TRACTOR PROJECT

[Waldon52]

Thanks for the kind words. So glad my little projects are enjoyed by other people. I always try to keep costs down so my projects don't look real fancy. And I never hire other people to do parts of my projects. Even if it is crude I love the challenge of making everything instead of buying things whenever I can. This Wheel horse 310-8 was heading to the junkyard and I love knowing the enjoyment I have gotten out of it . Most of my little tractors were waiting to go to the junkyard. What fun these old junky riding mowers have given me for the last several years.

This week I finished the wiring and got it all tucked neatly behind the new panels. It starts and runs great . I really like the new muffler location. Now I will just take my time and work on the inside sheet metal work and go back and weld the roll bars and any other parts I had just tack welded along the way. I will work on the paint and sand a lot of the brush marks out to get a better shine. Also the decals will make it look cute. This little Wheel Horse 310-8 mini Jeep will be great fun . This picture of me sitting in it today reminds me how small it is, ha,ha. I will be curious in the spring how small it will look parked beside my lifted truck with the 35" tires. Thanks for letting me share another one of my crazy projects here. And thanks for the kind words.

Jeep Update- I haven't done much in the shop this winter with temps averaging 5 to 15 degrees. But I did putter a little bit on the body work and finish up some of the welds that were just tacked. I'm ready for some nice 40 degree days and I'll get back to the shop.

That's funny.I refuse do do anything outside if it's in the 40's and really suffer when I'm all bundled up and having to work outside in the 50's!!!

That's funny, I even had wash the car in the driveway with sponge and bucket if the sun is shining and it hits 40 . Below 40 the sponge freezes to the car that's embarrassing driving around town with a sponge stuck to the side of the car, lol . 35 degrees inside the garage I can get the sponge off if I am quick and only do a small section at a time !!!
