Ok here is the front end with all the parts assembled. At this point slip 4 wheels on and I have a rolling chassis. With everything on the bottom done time to flip it over and finish up top side
Ok I have slipped the fenders on to bolt them in place to check rear wheel clearance. and fit. In the up coming pictures you will see a mower can be dropped to 4 inches and clear tires without one cut on the fenders or body work. You see in the above pic the fenders mount on the running boards in the original location.
here is a picture of the fender and seat mount looking from the rear and under the fennder. Useing the original mounts I added a 1 inch square tube on top of it to raise the fender 1 inch.
