A Friend of mine has an MTD chassis very similar to this one.  You should be very happy with it.
You never win a race by focusing on one aspect of the race!  Motor isn't everything, but you better have a good one!  Chassis too!  But remember, a driver can take a slow machine and make it faster!  I may not have/be the best of any of these but I'm trying!

Side view of the craftsman.   Fitting the fenders to make it look like they belong there is proving more difficult than I thought. I dislike working with sheet metal  :bash:. It seems my patience runs a little thin when I hit this stage.



I ordered my sprockets and carriers from EC the other day. Fedex says they'll be here tomorrow  :D.  If I can find the time this weekend I should have the tranny in and the caliper and rotor installed.

It's definitely light.  My craftsman seems like a tank compared to the mtd.

Got the brakes and the sprocket in to day.



We now have added another young man to our team and I got elected to help him with his mower. He will be running in JP. It's an older craftsman and I'll post some pics as we go along.

Thanks for looking

Prepping the 700. I removed 1,4, and 5 and installed a neutral ring and gear eliminator spacers from a 930.
I went to two local auto parts stores to get the seal for the pinion and ended up going home empty. Local NAPA wanted $13.50 plush$ 6.50 for shipping. Going to the bearing supply tomorrow. Funny thing is I put an order in at EC the other day and I forgot to order the seal. :bash:

Dang man...I only pay like 6 bucks for the oil seal at Napa..no shipping to be paid either. Make sure you are telling them to get you the Federal Mogul brand...

On another note, I see the latest JP you started has a 10 inch rotor..I applaud you boys on that one. Most think the little rotor is great but personally I think otherwise. They may be OK for a SS/JP but Im glad to see you upgraded.

Actually the 10" rotor is in the mod-x-r. and the brake hat in this thread http://www.heymow.com/index.php?topic=18162.0 is going on the new JP.. The red jp is going to use the stock brake. Not my idea and at this point out of my control.

I did give them the FM part # and that's what he came up with for a price.  :omg:

Mmm I see. I thought in your previous post when you said that another jp had been added that was the pic you posted with the live axle!

Sorry for the confusion Burwell. I'll try and be a little more specific on my posts for the pics. This thread was stared to show the parts I was making but morphed into something a little more.


Here's the start of the exhaust for my mod-x-r. It took a lots less time than I thought and came out better to boot.

I haven't got much done. Been sick with a cold and work has been getting in the way. I got some more goody's from EC last week and finally had time the past couple of days to work on the mower. I'm trying to get the clutch done but it's proving a little more difficult than I thought it would but I've got a plan and just need to implement it.



Also got some body work done.

Too many shaRP BENDS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR FLOW going down under the chassis and back and out instead of down looping back up and over then down again then back and out.

Thanks George I did consider that but I'm not sure what the track conditions are going to be (there reworking the track) and wanted to keep things high and tight. This is only a stock Indian for now. Once I add a flywheel, rod and some head work I'll need to do a referent route for the exhaust in order to reap the benefits of those parts.
