"Two-Seater" Garden Tractor TRACTORS Made-It-Myself 28-4-29 "I made this two-seater tractor out of three old garden tractors. It's about 18 in. longer than a conventional garden tractor and has two seats on it. My grand kids have a lot of fun driving it," says Allen Rose, Bloomingburg, N.Y.
The "Togetherness" machine, as Rose calls it, is powered by an 11 hp Toro gas engine hooked up to a 3-speed transmission. Rose used the front of a Toro tractor and the back part of a Sears tractor, including the transmission. The hood and fenders came off a third machine. He cut the frame of the front tractor in half and welded in new material to lengthen it by 18 in. He also lengthened the drive chain. And he bolted on another seat on back, complete with metal tube armrests and a backrest.
The gear shift lever is located under the driver's seat, and the front grill and hood raise up in one piece. "The entire project took only a couple hours to put together," notes Rose.
