Turning rider into utility tractor

[darkexphos1]

I want to turn my Ariens gt18 into a utility tractor maybe add a scoop and a rack on the front to put stuff on? Looking for some input. Thanks! :smile:

It is Very Easy to Overload a rider mower trying to use it for something it was Not engineered to do... You may be better served with an older compact utility tractor with a loader... :smile:KennyV

i have a old-timers cub cadet 383(label says it is a 382). i went to free manuals online and found manuals for some attachments that they made for it. they ranged from the snow-blowers/throwers to grading equipment for the yard. the chassis on it is a solid 3/8's thick steel from front to back. it must of been considered a real work-horse yard-garden tractor for the time.:2cents:
