2-Person Toro Garden Tractor
He lengthened the tractor by 24 in. and also moved the tractor’s hydrostat transmission back 6 in., then welded a 2-ft. extension and cross member on back. The extension supports a wooden rack that measures 3 ft. wide, 2 ft. deep, and 1 ft. high. He also replaced the tractor’s original seat with a wooden buckboard-style, padded seat that’s 44 in. wide. Both the seat and the box are made from pine with a mahogany stain.
“I built it because my friend Pat has medical problems and can’t get around too well,” says Royce. “I spent about $45 to have steel bent to match the tractor’s frame and for a new, longer belt for the hydrostat transmission.”
