| I fought this problem with mine and still do on really cold days. It was a bad battery that caused the issue. I'll eventually put a car battery in one of these days. If your engine is like mine, a briggs OHV, these engines are hard starters anyway. | |

| Find one that has small bolt posts. Some have both regular posts and threaded ones. One of the batteries in my truck has both. | |

| Glad it didn't break the transaxle. You might need more bracing on that as it looks awfully spindly. | |

| Definitely need some heavier reinforcement on the rear end. Youre lucky the support gave and not the casing.  Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| Smoking? Maybe it was just hot. Is it pulley swapped? Might be worth looking at putting a vent on it. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| I wouldn't be surprised if the stresses from the bent bracket caused enough distortion in the trans to cause the bushings to bind.
Stiffen her upa and try it again | |

| Use angle bars for stiffness, and are you planning on bigger diameter wheels? | |

| well I was thinking of just using a couple flat pieces of flat 1/4 in iron and welding them to fit so the bracket will be really strong | |

| take a look at how mine is brace, i can do a vid on it if you want me to, i took and rotated the brackets where they faced forward, then weld a piece of 1x1 sqare tubing to them where it fit taght againsnt the transaxle, then took and welded a piece of angle iron over that, then have a piece of 1x1 sqare tubing going up tp the frame and another going diaganoly to the frame, its really freaking dtrong | |
