Mini Jeep on Riding Mower

[projectdiy]

I am about to embark on a project for my grandson that involves making a jeep replica on a riding mower frame.

I have seen a few different ideas and got a nice idea from rog8811. The only problem with this one is the measurements can't be read from the diagram. I may have to work through it without the specs.

Just wondering if anyone has run across a plan that they find pretty straight forward.

Much appreciation to the members for some very valuable information already gained from reading through numerous posts.

Thanks
Chuck Mc (projectdiy)

He sold it just a couple of days ago btw:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Jeep-seats-two-adults-teens-11HP-engine-/271328983352

And he has his build log on instructables

(pretty much complete I'd say)

If it's still not working out for you..
send him a PM
With a little luck he can provide you with a higher resolution set of drawings
(he'll get an email alert .. so be patient and let him log in again // last seen aug. '13)

Thanks for that Sid, I think I can work from this.

Plans would be cool, alas I have none. Got some good inspiration, though. Check out this old and rather rare factory stock mower. What I wouldn't do for one of these! I don't know a lot about them. Called the "Roof Palomino" and made in the late '60's, IIRC.

Check out Struck Corp. As they have a mini-jeep kit.
