This is awesome, I just picked up a cheap mower to do exactly this with and can’t wait. Is the drive belt lasting out ok or have you had to replace it already? Thanks for great clear videos.
Drive belts seem to be alot better then the blade belts lol. I'd recommend going to a chain drive or straight drive line. I have a drive line in mine and my dad swears to a chain drive. But we also added 1/4 inch clutch from a old chain saw rewieghted for 4 stroke of course. And mine Is a old grinder head worm drive to some old ATV front cv axle then I flipped the axle 90 degrees so it's more standard. Modded mower are so fun! Mine was found at a house they were taking apart. Old guy said it would never run again and it's a money pit. Cleaned carb driveline mod and boom I can hit 35mph. He gets mad when I drive it past it's old sitting spot and the guys home.
Hehe, I watched your video on the pullu swap and did that a while back. I just slung a bearing in the engine, and figured why not weld the diff while I have it all apart.
Love your vids! I'm going to be building offroad mower as well! Just wanted to mention that the spatter is not caused by the welding machine. The welding machine amps/volatge/wire speed is not setup correctly which is causing the spatter.
