Trash to trackless train puller part 1

At a sunny easter egg hunt my wife says “you could build that” while pointing at a child size train pulling carts of happy kids. I took this as a challenge. Yes…yes I could. So here we are pulling our 2002 murray Lt widebody 21hp lawn tractor out of the weeds, where it has been sitting for years, to be revived into a trackless train. This will be a multiple part video. The first part will show me getting it cleaned up, running, drivable, tested, and taking the deck off.
