Not a problem. Mine hit the sides of the front grill but doesn't bother nothing. You don't use as much steering as you think you will.

Hey george im having problems getting my steering to work. I tryed to mount my arm on my steering shaft level to the bottom of the frame like u did but when i did that the rod was at to much of an angel. and keep binding so i had to lower it about 2 inches below the frame line not to happy i had to to that because its so close to the ground. what do u think could cause the binding im running the ec front axle and everything the same as your build shows and just trying to fig out where i went wrong.

Go back where you had it add a couple shims under the rod end you can also twist the arm to eleviate some of the binding. You can't do it 2 inches below the frame will hit every thing.

George: question for ya, with the front axle beam mounted flush with the mtd frame and running a 13/6.5x6 front tire are your frames still 4" to bottom of frame rail? This is what i'm running, and i tacked my " homemade frt end" last night. Basicly a close design of the basic acme axle. and i'm right at 4" with jst rolling chassis, less motor and all. Not knowing how low it will go with a bigger engine down the road. Of course common sense would say to just lower the axle to gain height, but trying to stay right at 4- 4.5"...Oh by the way, 1st build for Imow class. thanks
