You're right. The fabricatin' is EASY.

It's the pedaling. The endless days and weeks in the hot sun PEDALING.

Them things go like 3 feet for every 12 full turns of the pedals.

I still have nightmares.

Here's the deal: I weld. You pedal!

Using a zero turn mower to drive the paddle wheels is a interesting idea. :51: wants to build a mini bulldozer , same principle would apply there too . :weld1: :weld1: :weld1:
