Now you just need to build a motorized pick nick table. You could just cruse around the campsites and the neighborhood. Been think of doing this for years just no time.

I just keep seeing the old lawn tractors sitting around on the farm and think they would make a great self-propelled table. Put up a cooler in the middle of the table and some head and tail lights for the rangers and put around the campsite after a hard day of wheelin. Hell I even have an old caprice I thought of make into a table for the county fair. (yes I do believe my neck has turned red) :) ;D

OMG!!!!! I want the motorized picnic table!

loyalty to the American people."

Was thinks a garden  tractor based power supplie. Put the motor out back so no one gets a hot foot. Table 6-8 foot long. Bench seat on either side. Some sort of cooler in the middle of table. Not sure of tractors front axle up to the job. Some what worried about stability? My have to make a custom front to get the wheels out as far as possible.

At first I was going to use the old A arms  and spindles off my buggy. But that seemed to had on some $$ to what I hope to be a shoe string budget kind of deal. Spindle mount wheels and tires or even a brake kit are not in he budget. My spindles are vw link pins. I have been looking for cheat wheels or old brake drums, disc etc to use the old front end stuff. Other wise most drive train parts are coming off the JD 111. I can fog for sketers at the same time.  :) Could do a 4 X 4 got a 108 as well. Make it articulate in the middle for steering.  ;D
