the reason they say you cant pulley swap them is because the pump in the trans will burn up, killing the trans for good. Good test though, I didnt think it would go THAT fast. Pretty cool!

It'll burn up the pump. Only choice you have is larger tires/wheels and that too will eventually destroy the trans

racing lawn mower - the most senseless hobby I can think about wasting the free time but - man I loving your channel for this exact thing 🙂

my new build is a 1972 Massey Ferguson Hydra speed. It does 13 mph Stock in high gear, I am putting a Kohler Command Pro 37 HP on it and building it as a tractor recovery rig...

I had a customer who replaced a damaged hydro pulley with a smaller one he had laying around. After about a month of cutting his two acre yard, the transmission seized up. Upon disassembly it was found most of the fluid had “boiled” off and what was left smelled like burned gear oil, also signs of extreme heat.

Doesn’t make much sense as to why you would swap from 18 horse to five and a half.

Im building a murray pulling tractor for rc track maintenance will 20x10.00-8 fit on a 8.00-8 rim i got clearance between back sidewall 20x10 tires seem more available and better tread options. Its hydro auto but im dragging stuff behind it so no pully changes for me but a 11 mph lawn tractor would be cool i definitely think my 14.5 briggs would move but don't want to hurt the trans shes a old murray from 96 so im sure parts are hard to come by

Almost took out the angle grinder

My stock John Deere la115 hydrostatic will do 8

thats really good for a hydro, i put the belt on the deck pulley on mine and did about 8 mph

Pretty good,quick build.

Thanks for another video!

Hey! I think thats my old mower! 😂. It's about time you did something with it.

I love the channel have learned a lot thank you

Great job 👍🏻 👏 👍🏻 👏

KEEP IMPROVING THE UPGRADES.

Awesome test run. I have been wondering about the hydro pulley swap. Good to know it does work. I wonder if the engine had a little more power if it wouldnt bog so bad but may could get some more top speed with a taller tire too. guess we will see what the longevity will be. thanks for the video!

I really really like your videos

Very good video thank you for the video

I pulled swapped my 20 hp briggs vtwin wizard its hydrostatic and that thing moves pretty good. Haven't had any issues with the trans yet . It does get pretty warm if your running it hard though so it might end up taking a shit at some point.
