 Shooting for 59 " wide at least. Made the front axle , but have make modifacations .I made the axle too long, Have to shorten the beam  about 6 inches in order to match the rear width.
 The front axle I cut apart , kept the end plates and spindles for a different build later if you were refering to the axle from the enforcer before I dismantled it.

You going to put some trick suspension and quite possibly a sick 4WD setup?

That would be awesome!!!

The axle was cut up into two pieces and the spindles were homemade .

Have a couple updates what has been done recently.

Installed the floorboards and clutch setup .I used the original clutch pedal and hangers . Instead of mounting to the mtd chassis I mounted the hangers onto the the new frame . had originally planned on mounting in its original location, but the chassis mounts were in the the way . Also had to shorten and remodify the clutch rod . Clutch pivot assembly came off of a murray mower deck , but for the life of me I can't remember what model it came off of .

 




Mounted the engine and rear fenders, the engine I'm using is a 17 hp intek v-twin .





Sorry if the pics are a little dark ,the lights were warmed up when I took the pics .

Buy the wife a copy of Photoshop for Christmas... she can fix those things for you! Photoshop Elements would be a great place to start - $90 or so at your local office supply store. You go getting into Creative Suite that gets real spendy!

Did a little work today , not a lot though, have a bad cold which is running me down . Any ways here is a few pics of what I have done tonite.
 Made and mounted the supports for the 820 . I used 2 pieces of 3/4" square tubing around 15" long.Drilled two 5/16 holes on one end 1"inch apart from each other.Added 2 spacer per side and bolted to tranny, clamped the top and welded into place.Cut the excess off .

 

Decided to mount the hood temporarily,since I still have to wire everything in and hook up the throttle.Had to make some new mounts which I made out of 7/8 square tubing 5 inches long, then welded into place.Mounted the hood afterwards.Have a few pics of what it will look like before paint .

If you ever build one again, it would be awesome to find a salvaged 4 wheeler.. Lifted 4 wheel drive mower.

We do have one in the works. We have a mini monster truck chassis that we are planning on using.

Well things have been put on hold for now .Bolted up some lawn tractor ties and rolled Enforcer outside, since I had to get my huffy ready for the ice races which is comin up in January. Besides I still don't have the wheel spacers/adapters machined yet .

Well, hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday.Went back workin on the enforcer and got a couple of things done on this new years day .
 
Repaired and remodified the brush guard that my brother had smucked up earlier last season when he hit the gravity box .



Exhaust system, used 3 inch stainless steel foot board from a pick-up truck, which was cut in half to make the tailpipes.Used the original headpipes and a couple of 45*and 90* plumbing elbows and 2- 12 inch pipe to make the rest of the exhaust.Used what I had.

 





Throttle control 





Temporary tires mounted, so I can movein out of the garage.



Have set 36 inch tires to be mounted, soon as I get my wheel spacer/adaptors back from bein machined.
