does anyone here have any expericance with hardcore lawnmower wheeling? as you can see in my avatar, i got some experiance at it climbing an escort, i eventually got up on the roof, and ive had that thing in a lake and other stuff, until i got a little throttle happy with the "governor bypass" and threw a rod
I'm glad I'm not alone. I did a body lift on mine last year, hopefully I can do a 4-6" suspension or lift block lift this summer. I was hooked when I saw a brand new Cub Cadet at the Essex Junction 4x4 jamboree a couple years ago on 33" tractor tires and a 25" lift. Man I have too much time on my hands.....
I'm working on a racing mower. Got rid of the stock 5hp and dropped in an 18hp twin that I rebuilt! changed pulley ratios but need to machine some keywas into the pulleys. The set screws have no chance at holding back all that power.
My neighbor has a ton of parts tractors in his backyard, I wanna buy a rear end from him and maybe weld the spiders for a locker. Better yet, if I ever found a Pennsylvania Panzer tractor (1960s?) I'd use that instead, those came with rear Chrysler car rearends.
Glad to see I'm not alone. The first thing I did with the one my father in law gave me last weekend was to try to climb some hills. I'm gonna have to make it 4wd though. I was impressed. It has the 12 HP motor.
i got the rats 7 horse pushin' bout 10 horse, till it blew at least, but i must be the technical one here cause i modified the govoner to top the engine out right before it starts floating the valves, burt my had a few times on the exaust, kinda hard to open the throttle when your pointed uphill, on flat land.
the firs time i was wheeling mine, i was trying multiple times to make it up out of a ditch, and it eventually flipped back on top of me ....it sucked ...kind of hurt
