Please do an instructional vid on just converting a fixed gear mower to a mower with an accelerator / gas pedal setup. You guys could explain it in five minutes. And what parts to buy, too. Keep up the good work.

@mikemccabe952 7 лет назад

Ravingwolf TWIN Turbo it.. I've seen single turbo'd mowers but i haven't seen a compound turbo'd mower yet

@MyLonewolf25 7 лет назад

Mike McCabe twin would be absolutely stupid The trike has enough trouble spinning one This thing would have enough trouble spinning 1 + twin turbos is absolutely stupid anyway Unless you're cfm limited and at the largest turbo you can fit Or can't intercool It's stupid and more often than not hurts performance compared to a single turbo Unless you absolutely need it It's more to go wrong More work Less benefits Can hurt performance Etc

@Liowen 7 лет назад

I would get rid of the mower steering altogether and go with a solid steering setup, it works in the official mower racing for a reason and it would be both safer and stronger. Also instead of jackshafts you could flip and reverse the axle itself to achieve the old drive line angle, also smaller tires in the back (less is more). One last thing do a brake and clutch pedal and a hand throttle on the steering wheel, not really speed related but just so you have some from of control.

@simpgod917 7 лет назад

@ilCantaluppi 7 лет назад

Classic John, just crashing around in trees and bushes!

@GruesomeJeans 7 лет назад

That's a first for me, never seen a lowered mower before. Looks pretty cool!

@ianbuilds7712 7 лет назад

really? racing mowers are nothing new even on utube and this is a total hack...

@GruesomeJeans 7 лет назад

I.C. karting I didn't say I've never seen a racing mower. I've seen some crazy ones, just never a lowered one. It might look like a hack but I doubt they were looking to make it beautiful.

@ianbuilds7712 7 лет назад

Not sure what u mean by that... The organization I race with will not allow u on the track with a mower that isn't as low as possible. Safety priorities are the seat must not be taller than 12", BRAKES! And proper steering geometry ie: caster, sai.. also the stock steering box is junk.. just total hacks.. they need to stick to bolting store bought go karts together before they hurt someone

@GruesomeJeans 7 лет назад

I.C. karting First off, they aren't going to let some Joe shmoe walk up and ride it, they are building it for fun. Second, they aren't building it to a certain race spec. They are building it for fun. I've never been to, or will go to a professional lawn mower race, we used to have drag races in town where people brought anything from stock tractors minus a deck, to a fully built V6 powered tractor. Let these guys have their fun, if they hurt themselves, so be it.

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

thanks for sticking up for us

@bensymington5550 2 года назад

That look cool

@Butters_Stunts 7 лет назад

it's so twitchy because with the back stock ride height and the front lowered it has caster in the wrong direction :P

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

it is still twitchie. but we will fix it

@Butters_Stunts 7 лет назад

if you're feeling ambitious you could add caster and camber plates and make it real nice

@stevermonkeh 7 лет назад

Isaac it'll be fine Stretch it! You've got the rear end off already. It'll look cool and the extra wheelbase helps with stability.

@lamboman9 7 лет назад

Not just that, but by raising the axle in relation to the kingpin without changing the offset/kingpin angle, the scrub radius went through the roof.

@Gamer-rv1cx 7 лет назад

i love you guys your my inspiration to do funny things you guys really are a smile to a lot of people

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

thanks

@Gamer-rv1cx 7 лет назад

of course dude if u all ever need anything let me know

@washburn_creations9254 7 лет назад

look at my Chanel I made the same mini bike you guys are the best inspiration

@ikemcwhirt8569 7 лет назад

hey guys i raced mowers in the past. you can flip the rear end upside down and line up the pulleys then bolt it to the chassis. you have to rig up a shift linkage though.

@nathankennedy8704 7 лет назад

Weld in some sheet metal to keep the shape of the rear fenders. Essentially a wide body, haha

@jamesvarner1878 7 лет назад

My thoughts exactly.

@elitegamerandrew5979 5 лет назад

This project still ended up turning out to be awesome but I still think ya should of turned this into an off-road wheelie machine and kept the high suspension! Love The Build none the less

@jaxonslocum8948 7 лет назад

Y'all should make the deck position lever into the shifter. It'd be pretty cool

@supersaiyanmopar 7 лет назад

weight reduction bro! awesome vids 💪

@luke14fleming 7 лет назад

@JypticNinja 7 лет назад

I don't see how you guys always make it (it being whatever your working on) work lol. you guys are awesome though. I've built a 55mph race kart with your help. now I'm working on a 120mph shifter. :)

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

sweet. be careful

@kieranhow7469 7 лет назад

dam that slam

@ogbear5183 7 лет назад

you should put the biggest gokart motor on it (22hp) and gokart pedals on it where the feet go so you have better control of it and rebuild the rear end so it will take off better also put a wheelie bar on it also put gokart tiers on it so it will be even more lowered.

@zsigmondnorbert9283 7 лет назад

is it me or the the lawnmower has a grin on it's face! that's a lean and mean looking machine!

@thiess.378 7 лет назад

nice:-D

@parjoe1238 7 лет назад

Can you do more of the lawn mower videos please?

@darrenc.9713 7 лет назад

scratch the stock rear axel, install a T drive, like you put on the rat rod wagon, and put in a straight Axel (live axel) you're guaranteed to get the mph out of it. probably more than you want.

@darrenc.9713 7 лет назад

oh, and BMI KARTS, is a lot cheaper than go powersports

@darrenc.9713 7 лет назад

use the 6 inch tires from the front of the mower. put them on a set of 6x8 gokart wheels and use them on the rear. put a set of regular racing gokart slicks on the front.

@Camvba Год назад

Neat

@shockinawesome9595 7 лет назад

U should get some maxima sc1 high gloss detailer will make that mower look brand new

@paulgriffiths8359 7 лет назад

your twitchy steering is because when you dropped the front end and re welded you had to much toe out this causes to happen Great job fella's keep up the good work

@ntme9 6 лет назад

Just found you guys... funny shit!

@ENGINEPHREEK 7 лет назад

how do you guys make this look so easy

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

lol. editing! lots and lots of editing! lol

@HowardSupra 7 лет назад

Isaac! At 2:52 if you guys flip the tie rod end joint to mount to the bottom of the spindle instead of the top side of that arm it should help some of the sketchy steering.

@CodyK-ru6lo 7 лет назад

It is all about the TP ear plugs. Haha

@tylerseitz6337 3 года назад

I don't want to tell you guys what to do. I believe that the drivers seat should be lower in the chassis and a latch so it doesn't come free. It should add some rigidity to the structure. Not sure about cornering. Different gear ratiots for the rack and pinion?

@TrombleySounds 6 лет назад

do a real build on a race mower. im building one for the first time and am have a great time doing it. id love to see you guys build one.

@shawnstrode3825 6 лет назад

John needs to plant more bushes around the trees

@silentdeath9237 7 лет назад

You should just use a go kart axle and predator 212 chain and torque converter and narrow the hood take 3 or 4 inches out of the middle. Oh and the front axle you should have got some square tubing made like a miniature drop axle like a T bucket has would require a little more fab work but you could get it right on the ground that way.

@MrStroller4u 7 лет назад

It looks like bender!

@joshzuercher8374 7 лет назад

LS swap! jk 670 would be awesome to see on this. Keep it up guys. also I need an "It'll be fine" Sticker for my back glass, bumper, forehead etc.

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

lol. we don't have any stickers yet

@joshzuercher8374 7 лет назад

When you guys do there's going to be about ten shipped to the hills of ol Kentucky just sayin keep it up the vids are awesome.

@lucas_woods 7 лет назад

Widebody and a facelift. Make that thing look aggressive!

@jimmyschmidt14 7 лет назад

u can put atv handle bars so u can throttle without having one hand down there. also this kind of tractor will sound exactly like an ATV with a full length exhaust out the back (no muffler).

@mikefussell3804 6 лет назад

Y’all do a very good job on not cussing lol but Ike I heard that lol

@montreol317 7 лет назад

I think it looks great guys, keep it up !! Use toothpaste on the headlight to bring it back if you guys find time :)

@xxdropdeadxx6572 7 лет назад

You guys should upload a lil more I really enjoy your videos

@finn_dane 6 лет назад

Omg God that mower looked right into my soul at 1:35

@caseMasterxL 7 лет назад

Push the rear axle aft the rear chassis, weld up a rear sub-frame (plenty of meat to weld on) and slam the seat, as low as the drive belt will allow.

@isaacitllbefine7231 7 лет назад

lol. drive belt is about 1 inch below seat mount

@jermfactor 7 лет назад

Flipping and reversing the transaxle is the easiest way to get your lower stance and still use the stock belt setup

@rednecklife-uu3je 7 лет назад

yes sir.

@dominickcolwell8669 7 лет назад

flip the rear upside down its a grease filled rear you'll be able to ran it no problem with the belt setup just get a tighter tension spring build these things all the time best way to do it

@knoflook46 7 лет назад

Looking good!! reinforce the frame and put a bigger motor in it:))

@sled_neckx9972 7 лет назад

knoflook46 aka a snowmobile engine

@knoflook46 7 лет назад

oh yeah they make crazy power:0 butt i think then you have to build a new frame from scratch because this frame will collapse with an engine like that :))

@Stryke607 7 лет назад

When you fix up the steering, you might want to think about making it adjustable. The twitchiness was caused by the front tyres not being parallel.

@dislodgedgrump9056 4 года назад

When John said 90 mph and Ike looked at him just like pure disgust, “190 miles an hour”

@4geedupandstuff132 7 лет назад

Put some wide go kart slicks in it, it will complete the look

@muddboss5700 7 лет назад

i personally would have flipped the axle upside down and fit it in but i have 2 of my own and youll be challenged to a race.

@kingschuyler3890 7 лет назад

Mudd Boss flipping it, that would've been smart..

@patriotsriot 7 лет назад

That was exactly my thought. Way easier than what they did.

@jaketinx 7 лет назад

wouldn't you just go fast backwards after the flip :D

@muddboss5700 7 лет назад

jaketinx no

@levisumrall5339 7 лет назад

Mudd Boss

@reygar 7 лет назад

I thought for sure you guys would extend the frame forwards and hang the front axle junk so it would sit way lower. kind of like "Rad Rodding" the thing. Really lowering the rear is going to be quite the challenge. How to do it without converting it into a go kart???!!! The wheelbase also needs to be widened somehow instead of cutting into the body for front wheel clearance!! Rear wheel fender need to go and be remade altogether.
