I forgot to add pics.
Hand lever welded back on.

Locking setup fixed.

Overall veiw.
Tell me what you think.

Well i decided to build a rear bumber.
It made of 3/4 square tube i think its 14 or 12 gauge.
Tell me what ya think.


I was pick up the rear end of the mower up and also standing on it it seem to be strong without supports.

Nice bumper.

Thanks

Well i went over to the barn today and got a battery,2 foot of angle iron so now i need to make a battery holder and then im ready to test out the bumper.

Well i got the battery mounted and straped down with a bungy cord and seem to work good.
Also i went on a small romp to test the bumper and to see it the battery would stay in place and it did.

Also thanks for the sticker J*.

I wouldn't trust that bungee cord for anything other then temporary use. If you can't get metal straps I would suggest using a a thin ratchet strap.

Well today i was thinkin if i should lift my mower or not?
If i do its gonna be like a 5in lift and 22s up front and 26s in back so it will all be about 9 in of lift.

You could if you wanted to

Yeah i ant gonna lift it at the time but mabe in the future.

Well guys its a thunder storm here so the will be mud tommarow and if i get my carb rebuilt tommarow and the motor runs right im gonna go
MUDDIN.

Well guys here are some pic of what iv been working on.
some are from yeasterday.

Carb is off.


Linkage is made and looks like it been rubbing but to me it looks like it was rubbing from the factory.


My homade throttal cabel clamp.

Well guys i just got of the phone with a small engine repair shop and the said it will need a new carborator becaues of these ethonol based fuel he said its got it scewerd up so ill be getting a price monday moring.

Well today i fired up the motor with the new govonor linkage and it fired up and ran great.
So now i will leave the govonor on.

Well guys i really did some progress today and forgot my camera ill get pic tommarow.
So anyways i took the rear tires off the rim and took a set of car tires and rims and welded them on the stock tractor rims so now it got a wide stance and rides cool.
I also messed with my throttal and now it can open up like it should and i can still use the stock throttal setup.
And i also got to test it i took it on the road and floored it in fowerd and floored it revers and done some small wheelies and small burn out just enought to leave a black mark, i tested on it hard to make sure my weld were strong and i ran out of wire so i only got to do a 3in bead and like a 1in bead on the left side and ran out of wire but the right side is welded good with 4, 3in beads. ill finsh welded the right side when i get wire.

I also about took my pinkey off i reaced acros the motor on left side and cought my hand the flywheel and cut it up pretty good.

So now you know why they put a grill/ mesh on top of the flywheel shroud.

Here is a overall look of my mower.
Tell me what you think?
Got any ideas that i should do to this mower?

i like it! the ontly thing i don't like is the rear rims. maybe cut off one side of the rim that's closest to the chassis? look on my thread, youll see how i cut up my rims to fit the 4 wheeler tires.

Yeah i seen the video but i cant do that becaues the rims are weld straight to the car rims.
Or do you mean cut where the line is in the pic?
