Home-Built All Purpose Vehicle
 ✖  |
I call this home-built rig an APV - All Purpose Vehicle. I built it out of whatever I could find laying around my farm, including a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine and a 4-speed truck transmission from around 1940 with a chain drive to the axle. I built a combo gearbox chain drive for the steering.
I've got a lift on back that's raised and lowered by a 1/2-in. cordless drill driving a worm gearbox that turns a little drum I made for a small cable. The photo shows it fitted with a weed killer for the garden with 41 spikes on it to make weeds wish they had stayed away. I also plan to make a mower for the front of it this winter.
