| so this mower had a pulley swap not long after i got the mower, back was 2and a hafl inches and the front was 3inches i think, it went fast but had the motor screaming its head off, belt lasted 4months before making a flat spot so i put it back to stock pulley ratio which was 8in back to 3in front, too slow i think so ive changed acouple of things. my mower in bitsVVVVVV ![fast mower update 2012-12-27163425_zps48dde12c](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/2012-12-27163425_zps48dde12c.jpg) | |

| pulley centre swap, normally you would just buy new pulleys but i choose to stay cheap as possible. ![fast mower update 2012-12-28135122_zpsd446cccd](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/2012-12-28135122_zpsd446cccd.jpg) | |

| starter pulley i think, fits nicely just need two nice size bolts now and a wedge to cut in the pulley for the rope. ![fast mower update Pullstart_zps7c628e0e](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/pullstart_zps7c628e0e.jpg) | |

| Very nice work so far. That thing is going to fly with that big pulley. It might be a good idea to put all your pics in one post instead of making a single post for every picture. | |

| With a large motor pulley, itll have some initial take off lag, but once it rev's up itll go pretty good.
My murray with an 18HP twin and 6" motor pulley took a few seconds to get going- but it brot the RPM's down instead of screaming the motor. | |

| Id get plastic starter gears, they make metal ones but if it was used on an aluminum flywheel gear, itd literally strip the teeth off it - metal gears are only for steel flywheel gears. | |

| yer i hope i do to, im gonna buy a pack of two or three starter cogs and also try to get a pull start but here is some more pics of what i did today, had to also pull apart the transaxle again, wanted to feel abit safe by putting some gasket goo around the edges. btw my start gear on the flywheel is steel but i might just stick with plastic ones because i did get a long life out of my old one. ![fast mower update 2013-01-02184655](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/2013-01-02184655.jpg) used some small box section to make the steering rod longer because i moved the whole front axle infront of the mower. ![fast mower update 2013-01-02184636](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/2013-01-02184636.jpg) reason for moving my axle forward, wasnt enough room for the axle to sit inbetween the front pulley and also the front pivot plate. ![fast mower update 2013-01-02184708](https://2img.net/h/i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee494/b0gg0/2013-01-02184708.jpg) | |

| Plastic gears will last a long time - have some tractors with factory gears and some ive changed more then once - which reminds me that i need to pick up a few extra gears.... | |

| Make sure you put the sheetmetal motor cover back on or youll have over heating issues - the covers actually duct air down from the flywheel to cool it. | |
