Briggs & Stratton V8 part 9 

Casually looks over at every man's dream push mower. Just a slight redesign of the crankshaft, ya know. No big deal. Man's a legend.

WOW.. that sounds so good ! Great job getting it running after the troubles .. Enjoyed the entire build ..💯👍👍

YES! The radial push mower! Fantastic build on the V8 Briggs. I know you'll get it sorted out at some point. For now, it runs and sounds great. Your skill set is truly amazing!

If you decide to upgrade the clutch, you might consider an older 60s to 70's style cub cadet clutch. An aluminum plate between two steel plates and it functions like an automotive style clutch.

I hate gardening but i would never be off that mower 😂😂👍👍👍 Awesome build buddy

Jag är glad att din otroliga trädgårdstraktor fungerar och det var trevligt att se den lugna svenska landsbygden, ingen polis eller gängaktivitet.

Your an amazing man!! Remind me of my grandfather that's past. He was a tinkering type. It's were I got my love for lawnmower engines. Built my first go-cart from a push mower motor and old rider transmission an axle. Use old bed frame angle iron and bolts for everything. And wood for the motor plate. Lol those were the 90s as a kid for me.

We need to call Nick and put it on the dino great job love it and your amazing talent

Thanks for the great video! Interesting project for sure. It would be interesting to upgrade the front steering and suspension with rack and pinion, as well as convert the drivetrain to a hydrostatic drive with taller gears. I could see your project winning some lawn tractor races! Great work!

He makes it look easy, but what this man did takes a whole lot of skill. Skills I don't believe I'll ever possess. I have mills & lathes, but harder than it looks to turn a crankshaft. Every crankshaft I deal with is ground & a different world.

Sir, your V8 is exceptional. I hope that it will earn a place back into your stubborn spot. You want the steering on those toed in a little more, it will stabilize it a lot.

This and Matts Garage has to be 2 of my fav builds to see this year.

Здравствуйте 😊. Двигатель конечно получился шикарный! Дизайн и исполнение на высшем уровне! Просто супер! Вы молодец!!!

I'm so glad you're putting some energy into that radial engine! I love that mower

I simply love your projects,, 👍‍‍⭐👍‍‍

You are a genius or a maniac can't work out which yet. Great stuff keep it up !!

Brilliant build. I love it. Thank you for your hard work bringing this work of art into reality.

You are right on track for one of the fastest mowers on the road. Eat your heart out George Jones!

Great project build !!! Such a pleasure to watch you do your magic !!! Thankyou and please keep sharing your projects with us!!!!!! 😎

That is running and sounding very nice. Excellent work. Hey it doesn't have to last for a long time time it works and that's a solid starting point.

Fantastic build. I really enjoyed watching this series. You are very talented.

Congratulations. Great job. Also, and you may already be aware, that gear box probably will not endure a lot of speed as it uses brass bushings and is packed with thick grease.

This is got to be the coolest riding mower I have ever seen👍🏻💯

I really like your builds! These are things i have always wanted to do myself but family takes priority. Thank you for your videos, sir!

I enjoyed the engineering journey with you. Thank you very much. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

Brilliant. Didn't think the temp sensor would work.. But what a fantastic engineering ability you have.

Excellent, i love your crazy machine's, v.well done.

You are a legend, never have I ever seen anything done like this.

That is too cool man. A V8 made from Briggs and Stratton engines. Awesome job!!!

Ive enjoyed following your builds so much. this thing is wicked awesome.. look forward to seeing what you come up with next..

Eccentricity at its finest .

3:46 A look of sheer determination and triumph!

I’ve gotta say you are a real gem to the small engine community. I’m glad I get to see this kind of stuff because I’ve always thought about it but do not have the machining knowledge or anything like that to be able to do it myself. Garage engineers as a hobby are the real heroes here. Much respect sir

This is that fine Swedish engineering I've always heard about. What a cool machine my friend

Now that your creation is a happy camper🚜❤️❤️ What's next on your agenda ? Absolutely loved seeing you burning up and down the road with a grin on your face! Congratulations my friend Would you ever consider selling one of those Briggs V-8's Probably not with all the time and effort that has been put into it.🤔 Thankyou for sharing your journey with us 👍❤️🙏🙏

MUCH better with the OD! awesome job sir!

great job on that and good choice on motorcycles too, I used to have a 1984 virago 700cc, I still wish I had it, was the best bike I ever drove.

Snyggt jobbat som vanligt Uffe. Energin kommer snart åter. Trevlig helg! Robban

This is awesome! Now it needs a snorkel scoop with flames going down the side.

What an amazing piece of engineering! Next up, a nice roots supercharger 😉 love your channel, no rubbish. Just on with the job. 👍

Very cool design and most impressive build. It has a nice sound to it also. Well done! 👏👏

What absolute greatness did I just witness

You blew my mind with the radial mower!

Just casually pans over to the radial lawnmower in the background. What a man 😎

enjoyed your videos, was not able to follow your progress from start to finish. engine sounds great.

I can tell you have your creation tuned very nicely. How a motor starts and it's low RPM character says everything about it's state. You didn't mess around with this one. My Briggs tricks, right or wrong do help output. Toss the thick head gasket for copper silicone, clean up intake ports but leave a rough texture for atomization. Bore out main jets and toss muffler for plumbing pipe. She will thump like a Harley. Also suck fuel like a V 8.

Awesome build

FYI lawn mower transmissions are NOT meant to shifted while in motion. It WILL self destruct very quickly. Very cool engine!

awesome creations

You are one smart man, I'm quite impressed with your talent .

This is the coolest keep up the great work 👏 ❤

Lysande, tack för att du visar det här. Kände den där "första-(inte-nödvändigtvis-första)-test-spänningen" i luften!

Gorgeous engine! Now we need a more suitable steering and suspension, at least on the front axle .. and maybe a real brake disc on the rear axle Congratulations for the job!

It would be really cool if you would turn the mower into a racing mower chassis

Grymt bygge.O sidventilare dessutom,stort plus.

I think an older cub cadet rear transaxle would be a better match for this. They have aftermarket support for the pulling community so you can buy different gears and actual clutches.

👍👍😀 Great Project!

i love your videos thank you keep it up, im watching from new zealand

Awesome build Sir ! 👍

That engine is awesome! For pulleys though I would stick with the v pulley as it will grab better and not slip, but maybe add some throw to the clutch assembly if it needs to disengage more. Or go 1/2" difference on one of the pulleys (drive or driven) and change the belt size accordingly. I have routed additional idler pulleys to take up slack, so if I'm having this issue where one belt size is too small and gives no clutch, or one size up is too long and doesn't grab, I just put another idler in the route somewhere to take up a little bit of slack and allow the longer of the 2 sizes to grab.

Just shows that you don’t have to be Einstein to be a genius. Bravo! Few people could pull that off!

This one looks amazing, Dude...

Congratulations that’s one hell of an engine

Well done!

Woohoo!! I've been waiting for this mate

Amazing! Great job!

Really nice. Great work. 👍

you should look into adding a motorcycle transmission out of a harley or something, they have belt driven units which you could easily adapt it

Old snowmobile clutch or large household generator clutch. That’s what we ran on our DYI V12 Tecumseh VW.

Move the front axle forward to the about the front of the motor and tilt it back a couple of degrees for some castor angle. Then you will be looking for more gears to go faster ! The V8 is cool but that radial lawn mower is awesome ! I want one of those.

It sounds great! I think I heard you shifting gears on the road - are those the hears that the tractor came with? It seems to move pretty well. I laughed with appreciation when I saw the camera swing to the radial-engine push mover. I look forward to seeing more of that one.

A Briggs and Stratton V8. Wow! I am so glad you didn't settle for a 6. Do you want to make a 12 next? 😯😁🤩 Awesome job, sir!!

Nice job.. You just need to tighten up that steering.. Maybe incorporate a steering box from a small car.

What the heck did you do for a living Mr...? Hell with ur builds ....you are an awesome man . When I grow up..... But yeah your projects are remarkable ...take care of you.. we all want u around as long as possible ..

Make a motorcycle. Maybe a unique motocross suspension or engine design. Love your videos.

I wouldn't think those 2 computer fans would do enough cooling. The usual centrifugal blades on single cylinder engines push a lot more air.

Good work!

I want to see a straight 6 flathead Kohler. Like those on 1970s cub cadet. You could keep the factory direct drive.

kinda gives a WHOLE NEW MEANING to bad boy mower

Looking forward to that😊

I love how you just plop down onto it and look over at the camera like we're a bunch of peasants for not having such a fine piece of craftsmanship

Great video, but I recommend putting a bigger pully on the motor to gain a little more speed. The pully on the rear seems correct. I did a racing lawn tractor build 2years ago. Since the motor was a 20HP twin, it had the power to move it, replaced the small engine pully for the biggest diameter pully that would fit without rubbing the frame., then replaced the rear axle pully with the smallest diameter pully. The results were amazing, The tires would spin and kick up rooster tails from the gained power increase. Max speed about 45 MPH.

Only other addition that rider needs, is a closed cab with windows &, a nice HEATER! Would be hilarious & awesome at the same time, if it could be modeled to resemble a scaled down version of that classic Minneapolis Moline closed cab tractor/truck… yeah, those were true cream puffs & better than most other folks’ actual pickup trucks of the era

Man That Sounds Cool..!

Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.. "More Power AAARRGHHREEE, AAARRGHHREEE, AAARRGHHREEE" "Remember if it doesn't say Binford on it, someone else makes it."

Lengthen the frame forward, steer tires past the front of the motor and widen the wheel spacing front and back it'll help with weight distribution and handling. It will how ever increase your turn radius but it will be less of a death trap lol

very cool, bravo!

That is one bad hot rod lawnmower

Omg the binford 9000 at the end lol.

That’s very cool . I can’t help but wonder about building an old school chopper around that engine

You have so impressive skills!

How does this man not have more followers

So awesome!!!!!!!

First man to get a speeding ticket on a lawn tractor 😂

Impressive skills

Thats amazing!!

To control your steering a little better ,your front spindles have too much positive camber, add 1/8 inch toe in this will help you some to stop the wobble at high speed going straight on asphalt, adding some caster also wheel make the wheels return to center.

I’m impressed.

Luv it, what a sound too.

i like the v8 and the radial one , make a compresor for the v8 it will make better sound
