Here is an easy way to move a transaxle around. I used a simple square tube under the front and small bicycle wheels. The 'wheel axles' are just large bolts with the the heads ground square to fit in the tube. Drop bolts through the front cross section locate the tube. At the back, nothing more than a peice of 25mm angle, on dropper bolts from where the shock absorbers bolt in. The transaxle simply sits on it.
It doesnt steer well, I will grant, but I could single handedly push it across a paddock, down dips, across muddy patches and to the car pits to reinstall it. :-)
Alternatively, you could attach a trailer connector to the front cross member and just tow it where you wanted it !
