poulan mud/ trial mower project

it wast our old grass cutting mower but then my uncle hit a stump and broke the deck and so we bought another one. this had a 42in deck and has a 14.5 ohv briggs ice

WE HAVE THE SAME MOWER that 4360 transaxle is very strong and the truth on how i got sarge was my dad was cutting grass one day and the engine had already started knocking and my dad went to cut grass on the other side of the yard and i had a power cord layed out so he shut off the blades and as soon as he reengaged them the deck drive pulley went flying off lol so he just gave it to me and i need to get some tires to lol my stock turf's are crap

mines a 1995 or so

we scratch that lol well we have the same body style and type mine is a 2006 and looks just like yours lol

I have extended the spindles and put the 18x10x8s on the front and have my 22s on the rear. Which gives me 11.5" of clearance in the front and 9.5 at the rear. Made belt retainers and a shift linkage. When I went for a test ride it was insane it will pop wheelies in 1st, 2nd,3rd and will stall if I try to start it in 4th or 5th gear.

I have a 06 Poulan but it is a hydro in it. Note. I have tryed to kill the tranny but I wont die. 

I think mine is a 95 and I did have a hydro but I wanted a little more speed

My hydro most likely goes 10mph by just adjusting the linkage and opening the valve up to let more pressure go through it.

Today I finally got back to working on the mower.  I have a 1-1 gear ratio and i do about 15-18 in 5th gear and added a rear mount for the trans-axle.
It also flexes good.

got it going on its first romp

looks neat... I like how you converted to a manual. what brand of transaxle do you have?

i have a spicer but it came out of a rer rider

ok I did but it had bad shift keys

Hey in the first pic what type of tractor is that, the red one? Looks like Poulan but, I cant tell from my computer.

Did you lock the trans on the poulan

Ariens yes red one is a poulan..... No I did not lock the axle.

I have some ideas for this and it will become more of a utv. It will get a generator from a car alternator, welder from another alternator and maybe even an air compressor from a car's ac unit.

got anything new here?

nope have had too much school work to go and work on it

LOL, you and I are in the same boat. LOL

So i road the mower for the first time in a long time today and some stuff needs to be changed. The belt needs to be tightened up and I might lock the trans-axle, but before that I need to fix the steering. It broke right when I put it in my shed to put it up. At least it didn't happen on the trail
