Lucky for some. I still cant find a part time job! ): that said, I just sorted out a bit of an income, cutting two peoples lawns at £15 each. every 2 weeks. For about an hours work, that seems pretty good to me Twisted Evil

I know people here that make a living out of cutting grass, just wait word of mouth advertisement and you can get very busy.

@ Corey123 That thing looks wicked I cant wait to see it complete. And congrats on the job, there hard to find these days.

Saftey switches are actually only for mowing tractors - 90% of my tractors dont have any because the PO"s removed them already.....

I have a few 11HP motors- my oldest 11HP is 28 years old- not bad for an all orignal motor.

I think the oldest one i ever had was a 1982 so i guess mine was 28 too! Razz

Older the better!

Checked out the video too Corey (: having no money really sucks eh

Subject: Re: The Monster December 3rd 2010, 7:08 pm

i can relate to the "no money" thing. been out of work due to an injury for 2 1/2 yrs. just finished welding school and am starting my new job next monday. and if it wasn't for all the junk and 'collectibles' i aquired over the years, i woulda grinded to a hault on my ride. plus comin here really helps, too.

Subject: Re: The Monster December 4th 2010, 12:32 pm

I hear you- i havent really planned on staying at my job as long as i have, but the job market sucks- last year i applied at a ton of different places n never herd anything back. Even just for another part time job to fill in on my days off.

During the holidays tho- we're busy as hell- heck i raked in about 55 hours the week of thanksgiving- and normally im lucky to get even 32 hours- once theyre over- itll be back to crappy hours again. Im going to start looking again sometime in jan/feb- just tired of lack of cash.

His transmission is on the ground so he wont need to thats why he ran a shaft for the pulley up under the original tractor frame.

What do you mean, Do you have any pictures of the motor? You took the shroud off and painted everything?
