Got this at the auction. I would like to rebuild it and do a different bed, make the dump angle steeper, etc. Looks like an 8 hp B & S motor belt driving a manual garden tractor rear end thru an automatic clutch. He even had the parking brake hooked up at one time.

did you get this transporter contraption running yet Sonny? kinda reminds me of the old Yazoo riding mowers with the pivot wheel in the back!

Just got it home Monday, got the bed off, now to see if the motor has spark or not. I have a 60" steel bed that I am going to put on it and beef up the bottom of the frame a bit. He used what he had to make it with and well I gotta redo a bunch of stuff.
Been workin on the new truck,--- takin out air hoses and reels along with some super heavy angle iron frame, NOW I got a clean bed!
