The need for speed. pulley swap for Brians mud mower, 

brians channel here, ru-vid.com/show-UCTT9mT4UQanMH-rGm_ZUB3w

I think that the majority of viewers would not realize the skill that it took to do that pully swap. Mustie is a master at making something out of nothing.

Neighbors must love you.

0:09 OMG! I bloody knew it, Mustie has three hands!

I'll bet the neighbors just LOVE this!

What beautiful house overlooking the sea...........

I can’t believe I’ve watched your channel since 7k subs I’ve seen almost all of your amazing videos and seen the channel really grow

I like the squeaky reptile, perfect sign off!

Cool vid . Brian is young , at 53 I require shocks on my toys ! My mower beats the crap out of me ! The wife and I are still running our `87 Hondas mine is a 350 rancher 4x4 , hers is a 200 Fourtrax , thousands of hours on them , still run great ! PS her 200 will smoke my rancher !

Mustie that was pullyfantastic no belt slippigedge here made my Sunday funday , plus a baby dino!!! Lol!!!

You got to love the kohlers, i have a 27hp on my husqvarna mower but im using a vanguard 18 on my old yard pro to rip around on. I have a old Ford, 2 JD,s a roper and 2 husqvarnas sitting around

Man. Your neighbors must LOVE you! ;)

Glad Brian got it running and even running faster! Nice pulley addition welding!

Hey Mustie1, Nice fix on that pulley, when one works on this kind of stuff, one realizes how important it is to find center, especially with a chain drive, hope U enjoyed the cruise!

Nice shot of Hampton Beach! Three buses in a row!!!

Nice to see you the wife and the dog out enjoying Lucy for the day

thank you for all the help sir

Of course only one headlight works on that mower! Not sure how loud that was without a muffler, I'm sure not Harley loud, but Brian needs to buy a bottle of something for his neighbors after that test run at night! -lol

Lots of work but definitely worth the results. Thanks, Mustie!!

Love the shot of the vans in the rear view!

From 13 to 18 inches with too much load. That's some upgrade. Nice video as always.

Loved the video. That thing sounds bad ass. Just on thing. Easier to measure the diameter than the circumference. Both give you the same number. Did this when I changed my Jeep tires. Went from 30 inch tires to 33 inch tires. 10% change. This how I figured the gear ratio change I needed.

That mower sounds good! Who knew they could sound like A hot rod!

Hey there . I really love your vids. I'm from London England and have watched every you tube post I CAN find... not to be too over the top , but your channel and you inspire me and spark my dislecksik brain into positive thinking with every video... thank you and don't ever stop. Sincerely Sam Gilmour uk

I have never see that done to a lawn tractor good job. Nice to see that 'VW running down the road,nice country and shore line.

you made that look easy buddy good job

The good old Volkswagen Icebox. I had a Vanagen that had a gasoline fired heater in it .It would smoke you out of the van . lol

Looks alot faster.... awesome vw bus tour

You could use roofing tar on the container. Good thing about those shipping containers is if you do find a hole you can weld it.

Another great How-to video without all the useless banter/chatter that so often accompanies the How-To guru YT video scene. The cruise scene is testament to that with no human faces, only dog faces. Hey, Hoonigan's -are you listening? Nope.

Mustie1 is too much, I see but do not believe. He's a small engine repairman. He's an automobile mechanic. He's a welder. Now I see, that he is also a Machinist. What other profession has he got? Amazing !!!

Always like your videos, keep up the good work! RU-vid says my browser can't play any known video types so I'll try again tomorrow. I still gave it a like (sight unseen) 'cause you never fail to educate and entertain!

Sounds like a hopped up Indian now! Time for a real gear box. 🔥

Ive had a couple of vdubs flood after their were warmed up and it was too much fuel pump pressure ...I put more gaskets under the pump flange and it cures the problem... nice to have a fuel pressure gauge to help determine if thats it.. have to check those after market parts !! happy buggin !

Cool mower. Thing sounds pretty good with the open exhaust. You must live near Portsmouth, cuz that's exactly where you were at on that drive with those other busses. I'm from upstate NY, but I used to go to Portsmouth to Bavarian Autosport for the big BMW show n shine event every year with a whole convoy of us bimmer heads and we definitely used to go on drives through that same exact section. Very nice area and good people. Also pretty cool how the NH liquor stores have exit ramps right off the highway. We don't have anything like that up here. I'd consider even moving out there. Nice place. Keep up the good content sir! Its enjoyable.

Please may we have a tutorial on mowing mud please

Muscle Mower! That thing makes a glorious noise

I love Rt1a heading down to Hampton I miss it now that I live in Fla

Great video

Your channel is so awesome...

Mustie, gotta luv a box of goodies.

you are the bob ross of small engine brother. You cool man.

hi from Brazil! huge fan

21:22 you woke up my dog! you need to have a squeaky toy warning next time ;P

It did go faster, but (there always is one) it would have lost some pullaway. He needs a small car gearbox and clutch lol :-D. Good to see others driving the old vw's :-)

Nice ride at the end . . . . :) Rog

Looks solid

A cold cruise right there...👍

You have to build one now you and Brian can go muding. Great videos

very fun looking

Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family and may God bless you

Too much load? nah, not a problem. Something tells me there's going to be a blown engine before the winter is out on his mower :-)

Great all round video bro.

You Guys, lol.....nothings quite fast enough, great video

You gatta post more @mustie1 i love you video's

Reminds me that i have to sort my pulley stash. Went in to get a replacement, left 3 hours later...why can't shops auto sort themselves?

Little tinkering works a treat

very nice scenery at end

Net the neighbors loved the NO muffler

Got to love the VW oorn at the end of this video. But Crusty needs to come out and play sometime too.

Cool little mud bogger!

Nice hardware store😁

Man I just got jealous! I have been searching for weeks for a pulley over here, and no one has anything. Every garage, machine shop, mechanic I've contacted says they throw away those things when they get them... The only thing I've found is possibly a new pulley and taper boss for the nice price of ~$125 😛

years ago we'd swap the front and rear pulleys from various junk mowers, lots of fiddling to get it how you liked :)

Nice welding

the mower sounds fast

Same thing the «Pd 3» plated, Won't be luxuriant job build an exhaust the engine on drilled triangles based box ... 3 triangle almost equilaterals The two middle one's drilled 3 times on base one time on up to get tubes "pipes" in ... The start one's drilled once in the middle for brian, the other two times on the base ... The ends one drilled on the up ... Using perforated pipes wheter the middle's ones or back-feed ones, At least on the upper one, you'll "break" the engine beat ... Means four triangles, four pipes, an envelope some cuts, drills, and welds works, a bit a rockwhool to absorb "vibration" and you'll have a factory brand new custom made exhaust ... But, well ... Gosh, I'm late ! Nasty Mustie ...

Yessssss! Amazing video....

Can never have too much load 😁

Guess I gotta take back all that I said about you using poor Brian for a winch motor , you helped build up his muskles.. don't need no darn spinich . them ther dial calipers aint yor magic hammer did you forget????

Now that’s a fast mower

Yesterday I was pulling my cushman gas gxt875, and I was using a lawnmower to pull it and I accidentally flipped it. 😑🤣🤣 I was fine, and my friend said sick wheelie dude.

As mustie clanks the precision measuring device against the stash inventory items...lol

HEY, I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE!!! RT,1

Fun stuff

Hey Mustie, have a happy Thanksgiving.

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME

I did the same thing with my mower. unfortunately, I don't have a lathe, so I fired up the mower and ran a zip wheel in a grinder along the weld until it came free. I cut both pulleys off and put the deck pulley in the drive pulley's old position. luckily there was a shoulder on the tube to square it up. with a bit of tapping, I got it to 18 thou and said good enough.

Hey Mustie, enjoy your video's! Would love to see you build a Chopper using a 20hp v twin mower engine since you like building bikes!

Is that the sea or a lake at the end? Beautiful houses over looking the water.

Next time try using a dial indicator on the pulley. Make things easier.

Mustie1 machine shop to the rescue!

I towed a pinto 60 miles one time, with a VW bus. When we arrived, the brakes on the pinto were almost on fire. Turned out the idiot in the car, had the brakes on, as hard as he could, for the entire trip, because he was afraid. He even complained about his leg, because he had pushed so hard for the entire tip. Bus never even flinched.

Nice vws

VWNUT? Love it. And here I thought my 1STGHIA was cool.

4:20 weee :D the squeaky toy rofl. youll need to for go the pulley system and do a transmission. theres gotta be something that will attach to it.

now I need to build an offroad tractor.

An amerikan once stated this, much is good more is better to much is just enough so go BIG

That stuff you hoard is obviously not a hoard, it's a depot (which means you are a not a a hoarder but 'depoer'?)

My dog went bananas at the end when she heard the squeaky toy :)

It fits as it should

16:45 For Brian's fancy leg overs! ;)

Nice pulley upgrade however the owner is somewhat inconserate by not waiting till daylight to run the mower

here, we have a group of motorcycle guys who cover their heads with handkerchiefs, for safety :)

Um, Brian needs to find an old snowmobile. Put the engine, clutches, chaincase and exhaust in that tractor. They go like mad when that's done. Chain drive to the rear. Don't forget a tensioner. It will be a good video too. Hint, hint. Come on, you know ya wanna, lol.

Just wondering why you didnt use an indicator gauge and shims on the lathe work.

Love the red VW

Shenanigans!

Do you lose torque when only upgrading the drive pulley to a bigger one ?

Mustie. Come to Maine, I have a 13x36 gear head lathe for sale that would take care of your needs. 2 grand.
