This is a video of my craftsman offroader. I just finished the trans pulley swap on Sunday. Also, I just discovered the world of offroad mowers back in the summer and just started my build this winter so I'm very new to all of this. Any comments suggestions or criticisms are greatly appreciated!

You need a gas pedal! Nothing like those first few speed runs is there?

My group (The Mower Cycle Gang) goes through Centerville, IN on our way to Haspin Acres each year for our rally (which is pretty much all I talk about on here LOL)... you should join us this year!

Edited to add: Hmmmmm.... maybe its Connorsville. Pretty sure we have come through there on the way before though.

Yes! The first run was awesome! Going from a top speed of like 5mph to a top speed of 15 was a trill! I'm planning on working on the gas pedal this week. Also, I know haspin acres! And I would love to join you guys this year! Its only about 30 miles from me!

Nice, it looks good. I'd get some more grippy tires for the back and maybe a little bigger

I believe theres a calculator for it but the best way to find out is personal experience.
