Whats up Yall

Howdy yall. Derbyman103 "Scott" here. Im the same guy on youtube/derbyman103. Ive been repairing and modding mowers for years. I used to have a small mower shop and race mowers back in the day. I currently been building derby and pulling mowers but I have started to get back into off road mowers. I have a mud bog mower project in the works right now. BTW my favorite mowers are the older MTDs. Here are some pics of what I am working on. I do have videos on most of the stuff I build on my YT channel https://www.youtube.com/derbyman103

Me and my derby mower at the first derby of the year

Atfter a first place win and started to fix it for the next derby


My mud bog project


My Hot Rod Mower


My new 1972 Snapper RER that Im restoring.


New $15 project for later

Welcome to the fourm.....nice profile pic.

Thanks

That $15 project should be a rally like everybody else makes with their craftsmans.

I originally got it for a derby mower but Im still undecided on what it will be. Maybe a lifted mower.

What is the rules on derby mowers?

Hey- Welcome to the forum!

It depends on where you run at. There are mostly 3 different classes, Stock, Cage and Outlaw. This mower is set up for a stock class with minor mods derby. Ive built and ran in both cage and stock class derbys. The stock class is much funner to watch/run but its not as common as cage derbys. Heres a link to the place I run the most at, https://www.facebook.com/redneckderby?ref=ts&fref=ts

go lifted have a off road one already, the lifted ones are really fun lol, or a speed mower, never drove a really fast one, so i cant tell you how fun they are

Your have some very cool looking mowers.
I built my mower to almost look just like a derby mower but its used for trail riddin not derbyin.

The mud bog mower is being built for speed and offroad kinda like an ATV. I might lift the $15 mower and put my spare 17'' rims from my car on there just for fun. Lol


Thanks

cool to have another experienced builder! Someday ill do a derby mower, but then again I want to run v8 stock class too. oh well, I like all the mowers!

Welcome to the forum! As someone else said, its nice to have another fellow experienced builder! Hey... you're from Indiana... Make yourself a rock solid rally tractor and join us at Haspin (Laurel, IN)

I also have a pro mod mini car that im building for 2 derbys in July.

Thats a bit of a drive for me. It does sound fun tho.
