Look on market place for cars parting out and get you some cheap metal for skid plates and other accessories. You can also look 4 go cart parts to fix the tow on your front tires . They also have spring loaded spindles where your wheel mount on another excellent idea. Also you could mount rear go kart shocks on your rear axel to frame .. you could replace that belt drive cog for a juggernaut to sprocket set up instead of the current clutch system your using . Just some ideas for ya . And good luck .
for race mowers, i always use some 10w40 or similar viscosity hydraulic fluid. that grease will slowly expand, then burn with speed and time. one of my old poulan race mowers is still being used almost 14 years now, won a race and had a top speed of 52. good luck and i know yall are having fun!
When you were welding those fenders with the mig , you were traveling the wrong direction. MiG welders are designed to push not pull cause the job of the gas is to shield the weld from impurities.
I am really impressed. Like really really. Yall did a phenomenal job . Especially with what little tools you have. Man fricken awesome job on the mower and with the video production. That's all the way around, bad ass.
Looks awesome bud! I'm building a slammed yt ford LM, I made spindles like the ones you made, I'm using the old opposed twin with a 30 VM carb and open header straight pipes, louder then a bitch
Hey awesome video been looking forward to it, in the process of doing the same to my Murray mower right now. What did you guys use to re-seal that transaxel?
Love it guys!! Got a similar transaxle on a husqvarna mower im building at the moment, just wondering, is it necessary to weld the diff to make it drift? Love the build, keep it up!!
Try heavy tractor gear-oil, the stuff that goes into vintage tractors. It's very syrupy, but still has some flow, plus it will stay in the box. You only need enough lube to get at least one of the lowest, smallest gears to touch the surface and drag it into the system. Too much and you're creating drag that turns engine power into heat while losing it for forward motion.
Amazing man, i got the same mower, slightly different but same era, but also did you put your battery under the gas tank? And how big of a battery do you have? Im trying to figure out battery placement and stuff for mine, and also i might use your idea of shifter too because that seems relatively easy to do it that way, love the build.
