I did have this started in another thread but going to post it here separate so i can add to the thread easier . Rover Rancher 2, mod raising the clearance height

here is the chassis after cutting the unwanted parts out IMG_20190930_094258.jpg IMG_20190930_094315.jpg IMG_20190930_094405.jpg and the Mid 1980's Rover Rancher Rider transaxle 5 speed diff just set ready to make brackets for .

IMG_20190930_104331.jpg not real good photos but diff brackets and diff fitted IMG_20190930_104343.jpg and bolted in .

now the rough bit, i walked around the natural selection of parts lol in the garden shed and the rider graveyard to sort some compatible parts and this is what i come up with for wheel adaptor kits for the rear wheels from 8" to 13" wheels to get the height when i draw rows ready for planting and de-weeding .

IMG_20190930_122859.jpg i found a pr of 6" rims to use best part the keyways are the same IMG_20190930_123017.jpg
as the axle key slots then set and welded the small rims to the 13"wheels to fit the diff.

IMG_20191001_111349.jpg IMG_20191001_111415.jpg < wheels done fitted and finished and they both spun with no wobble in them at all

IMG_20191001_111429.jpg ,in front of the diff is the clutch belt plate mount ready to weld in , all i done is relocated it from the original position instead of making new gear for it

more to come

Kenny it should not be as i am putting in a reduction pulley set between the motor and diff to reduce the speed back to steady normal

IMG_20191001_111447.jpg that's the pulley set in the chassis on the ground waiting to be set and fitted (3 pulled cluster) but only using the 2 top pulleys for the reduction , but can always change pulleys to suit a sensible speed setting
