What u talkin bout them are real tires there lol they're awesome

I busted a gut, laughing at those tires, once I actually took a good look at them! Now THAT is some really creative engineering, right there!!! You should be proud of those!

Looks like we named our tractors the same. But for different reasons.



And you guys are all wasting your breath talking about how different badges make HP.

Just get some of them stretchy pants. They always make you go faster. Ask any bicyclist!

Haha thanks, it's been named husky since the day I got it just as a shorter nick name, had it forever too

I thought it was Beast. I guess I was reading something wrong.

Mine is named beast for...

Basic
Emergency
Access (and)
Supply
Tractor

Oh haha cool

I still don't see anything wrong with this, at Lear enough to start another bread about it. Kinda jumbles up the forum

What?

What's so bad bout havin' a build on one of my favorite mowers, I'm restoring it, it's getting different tires, most likely new paint and other stuff, I don't have any other build on this mower, so please don't try to start stuff with me I already have a stressful enough life, I don't need any of this

Didn't you have a original thread about this thing? I'd just keep it all there. Keeps the forum clean, less topics, helps others keep up with your build better without jumping threads, gives them a hole timeline of events. Like, if everyone started a new thread when they changed tires and painted it, then you could see how much of a problem that could make. Not slamming you in any way, just doing my job.

No I don't think I did you can look if you please that's why I made this one cause I built it long before I joined the forum

I don't see any jumble here.

Not sure where. I've seen the mower a ton of times before this thread, that's why I thought you had a thread. Apologizes in advance.

I've shown it in chat a lot and once I had a tech question but I never put up a build thread on it

Did I say yet, how much I love those back tires?

   

Yea haha

How were the rear tires constructed?

Started out with trailer tires, then I took some old bobcat tires and cut at the tread off the sidewalls, drilled holes on each side I ran chain through em to the wheels and welded the ends of the chain to the wheels

what about cummins or dirtymax? i'd say cummmins is like +200, duramax is +150. powerstroke? -500........

Woah you better watch your mouth with the powerstroke bashing, unless you are talking about a 6.0L those are garbage without $5000-$10000 of engine work.

No need to apologize. Like you said, you were just doing your job.

Once you had more understanding, you left it alone. You didn't turn into some jack-booted thug, like on some forums. That's pretty good!

  

Yeah

Thanks angchor!

Got it driving today, but it now started running on one cylinder, any ideas? Has spark, compression and I believe it has fuel but it's just not running on that cylinder????
