In the process of redoing my clutch, it hit my 6" pulley so I took off the Sentinel pulley to use...

After that video I found out that the choke wasnt hooked up right, doesnt need carb cleaner to start now.

Yep, you're just as close to finishing as me, in theory, mine will be running and driving in 1 week.

New update on mine CC, it started. I jump started it off my neighbors truck, not as loud as your mower but still respectable. Still have to get new sparkplugs, but now I know it works, so I can spend money on it.

Ok MM, got my bumpers on today and getting a belt Wednesday, got my hood on and clutch on, the motor sounds better with the hood on, my tires go low extremely fast and I found a $100 bill I didn't know I had so I'm getting tires!

is it possible if you and mm get both of your rigs ready will you get a video of them mud bogging?

Always nice when you find money  

Nice bumper

Thx has a back one too

mhm nice chains lol ive seen that somewhere before

My mowers mr t

I still have to play with my clutch to get it to work, its a mater of playing with idlers. Getting a 18hp oppy, hopefully this weekend so i can romp around with MurrayMayhem, his is running and drives needs more tension tho nuthing random idlers wont fix!

Sorry for my absence, I've been really busy I have a AP course and its a lot of work im selling this without the 820, thats mine, with 19" wan da's  a Spicer 15" Duro turns in the front and the 15 I/C Gold oppy all working awesome bumpers for $185

Well guys ignore my last post, I was being stupid, I have decided that I'm rebuilding this thing to be a monster! I'm planing on lifting (of course), getting a right angle gear box from my friend, a starter for my 23hp Kohler, a 1" axle and 1" bore pillow block bearings, and probably some 27" Kenda Executioners  

*edit

Cool man, I can't wait to see it working!

That's gunna be cool

I did a lot of work on this during the 3 hours i got to work on it this weekend, it has the 20 hp single cyl Kohler, 820, 19" Wan Da's on the front and 27x12x12 Firestone ag tires in the back. All i need to do now is weld up the exhaut, weld spindles, put on the pulleys and belt then she'll romp!

Speaking of huge mowers, my lil murray will no longer be little, it will be a big mower just like the lifted used to be, the lifted will be 3 times the size of what it used to be!

Im getting a lot done on the craftsman and im like "yay ill be able to drive it this weekend!" And the kohlers like nope. The pulley is completely rust-bonded to the shaft i tried taking it off with the pullers and the air wrench and that p.o.s. bent all up and didnt budge!! Im freaking pissed

Now the list of stuff to do is:
*free up pulley
*weld spendles and exaust
*bolt down some loose ends
*test run and drive!!!

I like it man, looks good so far. def. like the rear bumper, your gonna get covered though with the tires sticking out so far

I know ill be covered, it wouldve happened even if i had the 24s cause im pribably gunna bury this so bad that my jeep will have to pull me out! I abuse stuff so i know whats weak and has to be fixed (on my first couple romps, then ipl go a bit easier on her)
