| This is my new build, its just going to be a fast and fun trail tractor. specs: 12hp i/c briggs, 801? series tranny 5 speed to do: locking the tranny (maybe fozzy) better steering/front axle better tires pulley swap something like 5 in front 4 in back gas pedal e-brake style seperate brake frond and rear bumper some storage hood rack maybe engine swap from 10hp flathead briggs to a 12hp i/c flathead briggs w/o original carb this is what i started with: removed the deck and dragged it in the shop: then i removed the engine the gas tank all the mowing related stuff and the front axle. i stole the steering and the front axle of my parts tractor (my old jacobsen) i also removed the old crappy loose factory steering. the factory steering had 1/2 a turn of play! this is the new steering box i still have to reinforce it a little more but its way better than what was there. this is where im at. sorry for the crap quality pics my new phone died and im stuck with the one that has a burnt cam.

| Neat looking machine, I like older square stuff no matter what brand. What's that plate that the engine mounts to? Is it a separate piece bolted to the frame? Never saw anything like that before. Any thought about making some sort of front bumper? | |

i like the square body stuff too. the engine mounts on a plates that mounts to the chassis trough plastic\rubber bushings, its suposed to reduce the vibration i guess but it doesnt really do much. i dont really know how my bumper is gonna be, i know i want some lights some tow points. also the front axle is going to be welded in solid. - RichieRichOverdrive wrote:

in the 20 inch region but i dont know, something cheap or what i can find for a reasonable amount on my local classifieds haha but i really need some front tires. oh i forgot to say its going to be ungoverned, i dont have the stock carb. | |

| i finished mounting the new front axle, i made a frame to mount the axle because the stock sheetmetal one wasnt strong enought. ok it may be overkill but i also need weight in the front of the tractor so it helped for that too. test fit axle frame [ its gonna hold haha i need to get new bushings for my front axle, for now i have steel ones but i need to change them. next plan is hooking the steering and mount the hood back on.

| Yeah, but I mean like the shifter has that pivot-y thing but it's connected to the trans. I gotta do a brake like that on my tractor. I also like the belt guard | |

| i think it has the same transaxle that is in my king. a peerless 801. mine was full of water too, because some knucklehead tried to change a tire and ended up hammering the axle out. good transaxles. they are a nice medium between the really heavy duty 820s and the lighter duty 900 series. | |

| today i did the pulley swap !
ITS AWESOME... i love it haha. its my first tractor thats works great, everything i built worked how i wanted it to and thats just awesome.
now its fast and idk if its the carb but it runs nice, it does smoke quite a bit when i punch the throttle (too much to be normal) rings maybe ? idk
i got my 6in pulley today at my local bearing supplier for 34$
i also had to add an idler pulley to make the thing work withoud havint to buy another belt. that worked great too.
the brakes work really good too.
ill post pics tommorow.

| Well for that style carb the high throttle mixture screw is on the bottom of the float bowl. If is running a wee bit rich you wanna turn it in like youre tightening it. Just a little bit though, too much and it will be running too lean. Also when you adjust the high idle screw you should rev the engine a few times to see if it will still rev up smoothly, and run it at WOT to see if it is misfiring or having trouble running. Just a slight adjustment should necessary to fix the smoke problem. That is if its fuel smoke.
