So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I want to spread the frame out, drop the sitting position down so the bottom of the tractor is only about 8" off the ground, use barrels that will float and hit the lakes. ;D

I've seen one of those before! I was at a tractor show when I was a little kid and some guy was driving it on a dirt track. I never knew what it was for until now. Thanks for posting!
