Ventrac are expensive :/ And looking at this project it is looking like this will be a lot more involved than welding an axle and running a belt >.< am quickly losing motivation and probably wont do it. The whole front axle will need to be custom because of the steering and the shifting would need some minor but still fabricating. Although i have not lost all motivation ill grab a beer and head out there in a little while

The hard part building a 4wd mower is getting the gears to be right. You can take the rear and front ends from a ATV bit then it's not really a mower any more. You can take the rear end and put it on the front and make the whole thing pivot but you would have to mount it upside down so the wheels would turn forward. And run a double pulley off the engine.

I have all the parts going to start on it next month I will post pics of the whole build.
