JEEP GARDEN TRACTOR PROJECT

Waldon52 · Oct 6, 2018

Progress yesterday I attached the front headlights , they had just been taped in place before. I attached four hood latches and 3 side grab handles. The photos show me bending up two parts , one for the cowling to brace up the windshield and the hood weight . The other piece I bent up was for the new dash inside the mini Jeep. I did get the hood scoop painted yesterday but not installed yet.

Yesterday I got the hood off and the opening for the air scoop cut out with the plasma cutter. Also made some hinges for the rear tailgate and attached the left side fender step. First thing today I will mount the hood scoop.

Yesterday I didn't get much done. But I did get the hood scoop on and the fender side panel and the fender step. I also started working on the left side step. Today I will work on the windshield inner frame and the curved folding hinge bars .

The CJ style latches are a good touch. Are u adding a Horn? We have a horn on our Mule and when the 8 year old is on it I think the horn is his favorite part!

I wonder if that is still classified as a tractor, and therefor don't need to be registered to drive on the roads, it seems it should be..

Probably no horn, that might be a mistake, lol Not sure about registering it. They would probably classify it as a side by side orv.

Yesterday I worked on the windshield frame. I cut the strips and notched them and bent them. I like the windshield look much better now.

Fellow michigander here. I do not think you can register offroad vehicles anyone. I know the laws on that changed a few years ago.

they must have an exception for snowmobiles, unless they don't need to be registered. anyway, agricultural vehicles, like tractors should not need a registration, there was a guy that drove his lawn tractor from New York to California without any problem.. this project is a tractor with a different body added..

Snow mobiles I believe just get a orv tag. Michigan would not be in between new York and California
