He Made an ATV Out Of A John Deere Snowmobile

He Made an ATV Out Of A John Deere Snowmobile ATV S I made an ATV out of a 1979 John Deere 340 Trailfire snowmobile The rear wheels axle and spindles are off a garden tractor and the front wheels and axle are off a riding mower I first unbolted the skis and track then welded the axle and spindles on front I fastened metal brackets to the rear axle and bolted it to the snowmobile frame I also welded on a sprocket at the center of both axles and ran a big chain down the middle to provide positive traction I didn’t modify the 2-cycle 340 cc engine drive system or controls at all The machine still sounds exactly like a snowmobile and I don’t have to give it much gas before it really gets going It’ll go up to 50 mph I bolted fenders from the riding mower over the rear wheels The back end of the machine was real light so I bolted a pair of heavy duty truck brake rotors on inside the rear wheels to gain an extra 15 lbs Dean Wirick 7005 St Rt 68 N West Liberty Ohio 43357 937 699-0399
