going racing friday night

[Restrorob]

If you guy's are gonna wade water with mowers ya'll should build a couple of these;

[3r!c84]

we where thinking about that but the money for the tires,rims, and some sort of axles would cost wayyy to much. but we made somthing like that but smaller tires


the last one is going deepp!!!!!

[bmfpeterson]

I have about 6 mowers and never thought of this at all. course in az we dont have much water...... did you use the stock motor to get 45mph? is it in the gearing????

[3r!c84]

we get them all for free.ppl just throw them away or give them to us..
but just flip the front pully over you might have to cut it in half and do some welding to that pully.and for the back go down to your hardwear store and buy a pully and put it on. get like a 2.5 in pully.and a belt.

that set up with be good for 30 mph. oh take off the hole brake.with it on it slows down the rearend and just melts the pads(you dont need brakes anyways ) but thats all u need


oh and take the deck off too lol

My friends and I have souped up some mowers aswell. We pull the head and usually deck it alittle bit by glueing 280+ grit sand paper to a piece of 12x12 flooring tile and just keep sanding until it looks good and then wet sand it abit tp clean up the scratches. Also at the local metal by the foot they sell some super thin aluminum sheet and we make head gaskets out of that. Lapping the valves makes a big improvement you would be amazed at how much carbon build up there will be.Depending on the type of engine the intake manifold casting can be cleaned up inside I have found kolher engines to be the only ones that this mod can be done on. The area between the valves and bore can be cleaned up and rounded into the bore this seemed to have a effect on throttle response believe it or not. I included a picture of what I'm talking about.

nice ive allways liked the briggs ohv motors they dont rev as high but you get more displacement.(also the hole motor and head is alum.)i bore out the intake and clean up the head.me make a tap so we can change the timing and that helps out alot in the higher rpms.for a carb i like to use my honda atc carb becuse it has bigger jets.

but ive blowen up a few (ive got smart and put a tach on the motors)

i got pics on the other computer ill put up later

I always wanted to kick the front end way out on one of these and make a dragster.
