'75 Sears Update #4 (SS/16 Suburban Diesel)

[@157bradley1]

Great video. I always enjoy the way you re-purpose things. Very creative. Nice, clean design.

[@Tmansgokarts]

Thats a good idea, nice way to utilize all parts.

[@Fearlessfront]

yeah, glad I got those old leaf springs

[@428cobrajet2]

I like how the sears came along I'm gonna have to work on my old sears this week

[@billysiefert7723]

Hey fearless front all of your videos made me go out and buy a tractor to work on and make like yours thanks for the inspiration

[@preston121068]

Great video! Can't wait to see some rompage with the new tires and skid on the Sears, thats a great tractor.

[@KeystoneMotorsports]

Could always pack some foam in between the plate and the trans to help cushion impact. Will help keep crap from getting in that space too.

[@Fearlessfront]

thats a pretty good idea

[@KeystoneMotorsports]

Fearlessfront im full of em lol.

[@thedirtyburbanmudmower7200]

my sears ( though no were close to the awesomeness of yours ) has those exact tires on it. though they arent as full of tread the one time i was actually able to drive the sears before the carb wanted to die they did amazing. i hope you have fun with them!

[@thomas.861]

Those rear tires are the most brutal tires ive ever seen, after kenda executioners. Nice update!

[@Steinerrides]

Those leaf springs are really good for making chisel teeth out of like for your drag. My dad and I use leaf springs the rebuild the teeth on our box blade every few years, and we have a lot of rocks it's amazing how long they stay sharp.

[@Fearlessfront]

yeah, I may use these and make a drag that cuts really deep.

[@hondagarage9331]

i,m so jealous i start a build year ago after watching one of your videos then move into apartment it sucks then i start doing upgrades to my car then it was bye bye camera i just can't any luck keep up the videos i love watching them

[@prancstaman]

Good job. I got a couple of those footrests also. Thanks for the idea. Happy Easter.

[@WilliamSeibertwillis923]

those tires are alot like the Executioners i just put on my 74 Bolens. sweet mods, finally getting into mud season

[@woodlinepowersports4934]

nice work. can't wait to see videos of this in the mud again

[@looking4flint69]

You will love those tires i run those on a 4wheeler good idea on skid plates

[@tylerzeringue8712]

Very good choice on tire! I have vampires on all our atvs, and utvs, but they are heavier than those swamp lites!

[@rtabish]

speaking of re-purposing old craftsman mowers, i am looking at using one i stripped for parts to use as a foundation for a trailer idea i have. lots of places to mount an axle, and the frame seems pretty sturdy....plus it already comes with a place to mount a hitch...(y)

[@rtabish]

for instance, if you turn a mower frame over, it is a natural wagon shape....

[@MikeMayeran]

Cool idea for a skid plate. I been saving all steel for a long time way before I got my welder. Knowing one day I'd get a welder one day.

[@FJ80Coop]

Finally,some serious traction tires to help the Sears hook up n move some mud..

[@slimjim119]

awesome update can't wait to see the test drive

[@rlspanky]

LOOKS GREAT.I KNOW IT WILL WORK.YOU DO GREAT WORK ON THEM.KEEP IT UP ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS.

[@WeldstarCreations]

Well worth the slight loss in ground clearance. Excellent fabrication and design. Bout time you got some serious meats on the back-exactly what the diesel Sears needs. Got similar tread tires on my Huskee (28x10x12)- they work great. Very hard to get a puncture with 6 ply tires.

[@Fearlessfront]

28's are gonna be crazy! And ya, these tires look like they belong on here.

[@nicholasmatkin667]

That's nice. like how u used scrap medal for it that's pretty smart

[@RonnieCordova]

If those tires don't work for you look into the Sedona Ripsaws. I'm running them front and back on my UTV and they get great traction in mud and on rocks. I've had it up to the hubs in mud and they just dig right out.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Hey nothin wrong with short and sweet man !! Some great ideas there ..

[@castlemania08]

ATV tyres have gotten a lot more better value since manufacturers have found better ways for production

[@paparitz1]

Try making a Mid evil crossbow using one of those leafs.Nice job on the skid plate, hope luck with tires.

[@enduromike9120]

looks good I may have to use that skidplate idea lol cant wait to see that things in the mud!

[@Fearlessfront]

heck ya, I bet you already have parts to do it.

[@anythingwheelz7917]

those swamp tires look SICK lol!

[@coltonbowers8000]

my transaxle in my sears custom is made of cast iron which is basically the same thing as your sears suburban

[@matthewbrandt2378]

You should think about ITP 589 there a great tire super tuff and a great tread pattern there mud and snow tires. Also have you ever thought of making a hydrostatic transmission mod mower just wondering. Love the videos and Ideas. Keep up the good work!

[@Steinerrides]

You should build some implements to make use of the category 0 3pt hitch and diesel engine. If that drag you built or are building wears out, you should make a small 3pt chisel plow using those leaf springs.

[@Fearlessfront]

yeah, I might do just that. something that will dig deep into the soil.

[@peterrubchinuk6364]

In this video you said "my biggest fear." I thought you were fearless due to your channel name being called fearlessfront

[@TheBettereducated]

Did you end up making the metal nose cone, or did you get a fiberglass one?

[@isakhoversjo1477]

Do you have Any idea where i can buy parts to a "crescent broadmoor II" on a webbsite????

[@Palomino488]

Nice upgrades!

[@Ekbergarna]

Nice work man! Can you do a family / house / garage review some day ?

[@nicklofy5006]

How do you blot a skid plat in to a 2014 yard machine lawn tractor

[@BrucieDiesel]

that sears is turning into a friggin tank man! is it really 400 pounds? thats crazy. another thing that is crazy is those tires. Can't wait for the test ride video. I like your designs..theyre like quality DIY backwoods shit.

[@Fearlessfront]

haha yeah, it might weigh more than than, especially with me sitting on it. the engine was aboult 110 lbs, the trans is another 100 lbs, plus the thick steel frame/chassis.

[@nbsoutdoorsgarage1381]

+FearlessFront (Todd Christopher) the tires look like silver backs

[@carlosg1165]

thanks fearless.

[@aserta]

It's a good idea and very resourceful parts re-use. But. You need to weld a strip of steel above that tube you cut out. You removed that section which might later on cause stress in the frame (because the frame is now loose to bend that way). It's better to be safe than sorry. Weld a bar at the top or over the two "eyelets" IMO, that would cause no interference to the skid plate's functionality.

[@Fearlessfront]

Yeah, I actually addressed that in the video, but edited that part out. I plan on making a an under body brace that spans between the 4 bolts that hold the foot rests on to the frame. Plus the transmission itself also bolts the two halfs of the frame together, not that I really think it will matter, the Frame is built out of channeled 1/4 steel plate.... It doesn't flex.

[@Fearlessfront]

aserta I just checked the website, That steel part is listed as a "hanger". (it's for the mower deck & loader) So I really don't think it offers any real support. But still, I agree with you, and will probably still put in the brace

[@aserta]

Fearlessfront When in doubt... Besides websites are never something to go by. Only the engineer who made these knows better. There's also a bonus to adding that brace and it's that in the eventually that you really bash this thing in a rock and it so happens that it catches the pin instead of the plate, the brace will hold everything together. Well, that's my thinking, but, i'm not there so it revolves only around my previous experiences which may or may not match your current dilemma. When i modify something i try as best as i can to restore the status quo. Cheers and can't wait for the romp videos this year!

[@creepycrawler43]

aserta We have ran sears suburbans offroad for years, we always removed that bar, never had a issue.

[@mudman7571]

Great video the sears is some tank

[@jagky]

I think its a pretty build, I like it!!

[@PaulsPlace]

Can't wait for the test drive video!

[@bvisel4558]

do you have a video of the six-speed hi lowto transaxle taking apart? I assume you must have locked the rear I want to do the same to mine..

[@Fearlessfront]

yes I do: 633A38 Transaxle Differental Lock

[@tobiasreuchlin9722]

hi one question, how often you change the tires on your mowers in one month :DD

[@dylansmith6971]

When are you going to make your next video I cant wait!!

[@hopaktruck]

Looks good fearless. I'll have to come up with something similar on my sears build. I left that cross bar(I think it was the old rear mower deck mounting bar wasn't it?) on my sears with plans on incorporating a skid plate for the trans in with it somehow. Plus That bar acts like a pretty good frame support in its stock location. Give ya some extra strength. As usual though, brilliant build man. Let me know how the tires do. I will have to run the swamp lites I bought for a while since they are already mounted up, and if they end up not performing up to par, I think vampires or Kenda executioners will be my next purchase.

[@Fearlessfront]

the swamp lites worked great, I just figured these would work better in the mud, especially with the weight of the winch on the front now.

[@kawasakikx8093]

Happy Easter

[@michaeldempsey6737]

Hey Fearlessfront are going to sell the swamp lites?

[@thomasmorehouse9277]

25x8-12 are the size of the bear claws i have on the front of my wheeler

[@Yamahatrailbike125]

I'm going to pulley swap a motor on a ford lt 75 if have a 5in on the back and 5 in the front can I use the same belt?

[@John-en4bp]

Good job approaching 31,000

[@DistrictsMedia]

Or any good ways to tighten my steering?

[@sarahkalvelage7377]

i just ordered reptiles radials 26x9x12 and the same size fronts and same brand you have. ill be repainting and fixing mine up for the next month. im making videos and i may even upload them but my mower is so darn slow! FEARLESS is it ok to do if i put on a 2" smaller pulley off the trans rather than making the front pulley larger?

[@sarahkalvelage7377]

and btw check your emails.

[@MTD12HPTURBO]

Ya I gotta install a skid plate!

[@DistrictsMedia]

I love your videos bro! I got a murray tractor for free and am currently doing a pulley swap.. Mower deck drive pulley in front and 3 in in the back... Any good belt sugestions you have?

[@justinmccombs538]

when are u going to redo the craftsman crawler

[@travisbostic8748]

I have the same swamp tires on my atv very good tires

[@JohnDeereTractors77]

I'd like to see the craftsman crawler going again

[@gasmonkey5578]

How much would u want for the old tyres

[@muddboss5700]

personally i think those tires arent wide enough. i recommend getting a set of 26-12-12. i run them on my tractor and they do great.

[@TheBettereducated]

In lime the 2nd or 3rd update vid he said he likes them to dig into the mud

[@dustinshort6207]

Mudd Boss wide tires are only good for tight packed mud and dirt, skinny tall tires are best for wet sloppy mud.

[@mitchelllawrentz766]

I got a question I've been looking around for tires for my mud mower and can't find any where is it you buy your tires from?

[@Fearlessfront]

I usually get mine on ebay. If you look around, you can find some pretty good deals.

[@mitchelllawrentz766]

I couldn't find any on ebay

[@Fearlessfront]

mitchell lawrentz what size are you looking for, and budget?

[@JonesDieselPerforman]

Great use of resources there. to a less creative person mower parts and old leaf springs would be little more than scrap metal

[@dustinjosey116]

I have those tires on my 2001 honda 350 rancher 4x4 for 12 years if you run the max psi 5 lbs they dig down but if you air them down to like 2 psi they pull through any type of mud but they are not good in sand because the dig but are great tires

[@Fearlessfront]

thanks for the tip, I'll do that!

[@dustinjosey116]

And they don't wear fast your welcome

[@Mosolarfan]

your taller tires should offset the ground clearance loss from the skid plate

[@Fearlessfront]

very true!

[@blakehudson6835]

hey fearless. im working on a mud mower my self. if you dont mind what is your belt ratio on the sears? (front to back).by the way i like all your videos. you actually inspired me to create my own mudding mower. thanks.

[@Fearlessfront]

thanks! I still have the original transaxle pulley on the rear, and a 6" on the motor. I like the combo, I wouldn't want to go any faster on something that heavy.

[@rex4x4]

Soooooo sweet

[@kawasakikx8093]

Hey Rex you gotta start bugging Adam (vlogginlife) to start modding his tractor so u guys can make another roping vid

[@rex4x4]

kawasakikx8093 funny u say that .... i was 2 days ago lol

[@icanbuildanything1222]

When is the craftsman crawler coming back to life.

[@ck_customs4383]

nice vid i like the new tires

[@jasontan418]

That's asomeness dude I might have to check this out !!! I don't like to ask personal questions but hm do the tiers cost ?

[@Fearlessfront]

They were $138 shipped

[@WestleyBates]

nice idea but what bout the front

[@flatheadcustoms9765]

do u still have the intergo swamp lites

[@bobbyyoungquist610]

Like it

[@mitchellmars9591]

We need you back

[@kamsjunkllc859]

Hate to break the news but those tires dig staight down. Id suggest buying silverback x-lites or outlaws! Jus from experience

[@carlosg1165]

how much did you spend so far on the Diesel Sears tractor.?

[@Fearlessfront]

too much! lol I donno, about $1200

[@trailerparkgarage6574]

The weird thing is, my Sears ST/10 had the same trans as your SS/16

[@tractor-techredneck9336]

legotec49 they use this trans alot my ss15 has is and i haf some alot new mowers in the 2000s have them

[@darcycreamer8938]

Wow how much do you spend on tires?

[@Fearlessfront]

these were $138 shipped

[@darcycreamer8938]

nice, they look like they are worth it.

[@nicklofy5006]

Where do you get your tires

[@Fearlessfront]

these came from ebay courtesy of discount tires direct.

[@davekorn6516]

We use the vamps for climbin coal they sure do hook

[@Fearlessfront]

good to hear, I can't wait to try them!

[@BB-wc3zx]

Hey fearless, I'm building a off road mower and my tires on the rim are a 23x9.50x12. I was wondering if I could put a set of 25x8x12 I know I will have to put a fender lift on. But will the tires work. What was your rim size? Was it a 8x12 and you went to a bigger tire 9.50x12 or was it a 9.50x12 and you put a 8x12 on it. Love your vids by the way! I made my brother subscribe too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@Fearlessfront]

Thanks man! I used the original wheels that came on the tractor, and I also had 23" tires on mine when I bought it. The 25"s barely clear the fenders without modification. At least on my rig they do. you should be fine to mount a 25 to it.

[@BB-wc3zx]

Fearlessfront thanks! that made my day

[@Fearlessfront]

Mower Madness haha! good to hear! (I know the feeling!)

[@BB-wc3zx]

Now all I have to do is get the old 16hp straitened out and all the wiring and stuff figured out and then start building! hey would it be okay if I made my tractor look like yours as a fearless front inspired tractor? thanks for all the video support too! and I've been watching your videos since the beginning of the racing mower, to the jeep off-roading, and even the video where a bunch of people freaked out because of the guns that you shot. I decided to make an account as soon as I got my tractor so I did! And I freaked out as soon as you replied! my mom got scared. oops

[@Fearlessfront]

Mower Madness haha! Yeh, go for it man. there's another user I think his name is allterrainmowers or something like that, he built a sears the same color and even tires as I did. Pretty neat!

[@PROG4M3Relite]

Hey fearless, or anybody, i live in Wisconsin (Sconsin) and i was wondering if i could register my offroad lawn mower for trail use. Any feed back will be greatfully appreciated. And look for my build videos some time in future!

[@Fearlessfront]

yeah, you should be able to go to your town office with your serial # and register it as an ATV

[@traceyb6963]

where do ya work?

[@Fearlessfront]

I do landscape construction.

[@boodrow24m]

If you can find Mud Bugs, they are freakin awesome. Vampires and outlaws will dig and dig like a Labrador on cocaine.

[@Ekbergarna]

Ive got Mud bugs on my atv, they are awsome!!

[@boodrow24m]

My brother runs 30 inch outlaws on his 500 foreman and I run 26 inch bugs. He buries his and I winch him out and roll on through.

[@samuelfaggart9976]

the vampires will do fine but i dont get what was wrong with the originals they did just as good as the vampires will

[@bigtperk]

Make a pulling tractor out of the lifted mudding mower

[@wyattklingensmith8862]

You should make the sears roll coal

[@alexmeboy]

Awesome. I speak your name.

[@strangemowers2788]

Hey fearless do you want to sell your old sears tires message me if you do

[@zanderharrison8102]

I have those tires on my quad

[@shelleylandon9204]

the vampire 2 tires are more agressive.

[@Happygrowercbris420]

loll nice video man

[@carlosg1165]

nice tires hope to see you in some mud.

[@redlinemotorsportts]

remember 200th video next do something special!

[@Fearlessfront]

I actually have about 207 videos, some of them have been made private, others were deleted entirely.

[@redlinemotorsportts]

hmm, i liked your older videos tho, it reflects on what you do today and how far you've came.

[@WestleyBates]

or is the engine a horizontal shaft

[@dylansmith6971]

Hello

[@phill903]

Nice skid plate not a lot of work or time to make it fit..and looks like it belongs. (;-)

[@colbygrimes8111]
