I did the same when I got my VA Power scooter..Hooked up my 18" Gas LM and then following yr. Ryboi came out with their CELM and I been using that these past 4 yrs ! Got Freedom and can Mow my Own Lawn again.. VG Helping other Veterans do the same ever since..Happier Memorial Day ! US Army-65'-67'

You had me at rubber couplings to minimize rock damage to drive system. And then you brought out the caterpillar drive. Bravo sir, bravo.

I ditto everything PacoWang says. You are the Man. Someone has taught you well in life to do all this. Great welding as well.

It's clear you have given a lot of thought to the various components of this build. From the rubber isolator, to the over-center motor engagement.

The best part is him riding the carriage frame down the shop ramp! Gotta have fun at your work!

Thanks, I got to hand it you, (and whoever taught you) you really know how to metal fab, probably anything you set your mind to.

Your shop has a nice assortment of tools and your knowledge & skill using them is very impressive. Great build! I enjoy reclaiming, reusing, recycling what is on hand & enjoy getting ideas from other DIYers that do the same. Stay well, Joe Z

Man o Man, Very Nice to See Someone Still Doing GOOD HARD WORK !!

Measure, Cut and Weld, Cut and Weld, Measure, Cut and Weld, think, think some more, keep cutting, Weld ........man you a awesome robot man!

Wow!!! You are definitely a master engineer. I enjoyed watching this build so much, thank you.

You sir are a Master! Unbelievable engineering and craftsmanship skill Donn.

Very cool. I miss welding and fabricating. I worked at a company where I was the Lead mechanic with all my plus rates (welder-mechanic-machinist-pipefitter-millwright) so I had lots of tittles and The ones I used the most was my welding, mechanic, and machinist. I was forced out at 62, (Down sizing)and I miss that job, but I really enjoy being retired. I am building up my equipment, but I need a tabletop lathe.

Love the workmanship.

Very well thought out and executed. You young man are a mechanical genius. Thanks for sharing.

Just freakin' brilliant. Keep them coming!

I worked around heavy equipment fabrication for many years which involved ALL the processes you employed in this project. Your skill set is amazing.

You mastered that mower the blades are perfectly in line and in balance to the last gram, a couple weeks ago I was mower grass for hay on are farm with a 4 drum I think it 2.5 meter in length and the blade holder snapped of becoming a brick when though it and it shuck its balls off the part weighs 250 grams and the parts shop didn't have a new one so I had to weld one together and I was 30 grams to heavy and I thought it close enough got to the field started her up and it's going off again like crazy just shows what a good job you did to get it spot on 👍

Most impressive video seen yet. Your talent should be worth millions to any MFG in the US. Hats Off and God Speed.

You might have over 100 hours into building it. In 1994 I built a mower on 4 caster wheels, mounting it to the rear and offset to the left side of my Wheel Horse 252-H tractor. It had a Bolens 34" deck and a Briggs 8hp engine. It ran twice and cut well but I had it geared too high and the engine popped a valve. I didn't have the money to fix the engine so I parted it out. I wish I had a picture of it, but in those years trying to come up with an extra $50 was really hard. About 15 years ago by parting out lawn mowers and have gathered enough engines, electric clutches and casters to build about 6 pull type mowers. My problem is I have had health problems since I was a teenager and was diagnosed with Lyme disease 4 years ago. I'm 50 now and I'm hoping I can stay healthy enough to build some pull type mowers before I die.

Wow, very cool, a lot better than buying that at the store for $4000, I also just subscribe, watching you videos wants me to go and creat something ☺️

Man you are a truly gifted fabricator. Another amazing build.

Stunning craftsmanship. Attention to detail. Every woman wants a man that can do this, if need be.... Every employer, wishes they could have someone this smart, and make things like this happen. The way i was raised..if you dont have it...make it....if you dont know how....learn....

You sir are a genius. This is when no one makes anything worth a darn, so you build it your self.

I watched and enjoyed. now I know I want a wire feed welder. very impressed with your skills.

A lot of people cant come close to doing the stuff u do man u got some serious skills 👍

A really cool mower, great job and thanks for sharing

Damn this dude goes the extra mile with paint and everything. Hats off to you sir...

dude !~! you are a mad scientist, great work. been building stuff all my life and never seen anything like this.wow !!

Great work as always! Thank you for sharing!

Your mechanical and engineering skills are only exceeded by you impressive videography. Well done all round.

Awesome project. You did an amazing job, great skills my friend. Keep up the top-notch fabrication!

well done!!! you should be recognized for this incredible invention.

Ingenuity at its finest. Kudos to you! Great ideas!

By the shaft of Thor's hammer! What a brilliant build. I was looking for the easiest way to sharpen mower blades and your video came up! You have a new subscriber my friend. 😀

I know it's alot of work involved, but you can build some awesome stuff. You mill your own pulleys. That alone is noteworthy. Very inspiring videos. Good job.

I like that you didn't put in music. Kudos.

This man is a genius. Well done. I love doing stuff like this but not this complicated. I have built several surface drive mud motors from scratch but nothing like this. Great work and thanks for the excellent filming.

You my friend are a hell of a fabricator

best editing I've seen for a while. great project, we'll done.

Beautiful engineering and very nice so much recycled parts. Loved watching this many times super innovative craftsmanship , wish we cud push like button many times ;)

Props for making something that doesn't look like it'll chop someone's leg off, unlike many "diy builds" on youtube.

Your inventiveness knows no bounds ,I love that you take no prisoners👌👌👌👌👌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

ATV Front mounted, mower attachment. Caster wheeled, flail mower, w/ auxiliary motor, belt operated, w/ remote kill switch and electric height adjustment. ;-) SWEET PROJECT VIDEO!

really enjoyable video. impressed how much thought and workable solutions you put in/made. screaming for a plasma cutter. very impressed 👍

Weapon of grass destruction. Very nice.

Giving new meaning to "push mower". Awesome build, but, your shop has a lot to be desired. I'll buy it !

very kool! you should get funded on kickstarter then you can sell these to everyone who has a atv and big yard. the hard part is done which is the prototype. awesome keep sharing!

Smart guy. I couldn't come close even if I had all the tools!

Wow... Nice Work! Great Video!

You got skills my man see it believe it achieve it!!!

WOW, talking about " improvised ".... GREAT JOB !!! I LOVE IT !!! :)))))))))))

Awesome build as always!

Very cool to see someone machine all these parts. Also, beautiful photography!

Wow, you have skills!! Nice job!!!

*The best of all is when you see the results of the work and the project working. Congratulations*

Great build👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Really sweet would be PTO driven for a compact tractor. Great build. Love watching a project like this. Awesome editing, too. Keeps it moving along. Top marks!!

Thank you so much for the tip at 6:51!!! Now I dont have to go through the trouble of making a keyway in the hub.

I have parted out about 60 riding mowers and commercial walk behind mowers and I have saved parts from them. I have enough mower spindles, clutches, engines, casters, caster frames and metal to build about 6 of those. My problem is the damn Lyme disease I was diagnosed with 6 years ago. I have one 36” wing mower I was making out of a Snapper SPA 360 commercial walk behind mower, minus the rear half which had the engine and drive wheels. . I have the extra casters added to the rear. I just need to add the engine and the linkage to the tractor then add controls. I have another 40” wing mower I with a height adjustment system that I just need to install the engine, linkage to the tractor and controls. Lately the Lyme disease has reduced the strength of my arms.

OK....just one thing left to say.....that man knows his shit...hats off......

Great job Donn. Niche and particular cut and bonding. Like that working at last.

You cut splines on a shaft with a grinder...wow! Great job!

Heck yeah. Nice job. Not everybody has access to a lathe, but when you do, make something.It don't get much better than mowing with a 4 wheeler.

Good old garage engineering. I like to think I am a pretty good DIYer. After seeing this, I'm gonna go bury my head in the sand. Fantastic job and creativity.

Really good systems you made!

That's awesome 👍👌 love it, great invention, work 👍👍👍, and engine and the color.

Isn't that amazing. a young man, uses the internet togather information. Then goes out and build an idea, put it to work, and makes a difference! Good for you!

Million viewers a Year!Well worth watching!

maistru ,nu gluma. Baiat priceput si energic.Bravoo!

отлично!! завидую технической оснащенности. !!

damn you're a natural mechanical engineering genius

You are an unbelievable craftsman.

That was impressive! I would love one of those on PEI to cut large areas.

Brilliant! Too many good ideas here to list them all. Much respect.

Quiet an impressive build! 👍🔥

The part where you built the frame for the wheels and tested it by just riding it off into the sunset has hilarious. Makes me want to build at least that part!

Real nice work I want do the same thing to my tractor best thing ever to get under low hanging branches

I have only three words for your young man,, Totally awesome build!

It is nice to see you use the rubber design cupping . I have opted to use a chain coupling after trial and error. Nice shop and nice job.

This Has A-Team written all Over. Great video.

This vid reminds me of "primitive technology" videos. You should rename this channel to Modern tech lol I like the no music, no commentary, and excellent camera work. Great job.

Very nice fabricating. Keep up the good work.

Next project ... space shuttle. Good job!

IMPRESSIVE work!

brill stuff..loving it

Now that's just COOL!!!! Great job!!!

This man is living way ahead of our time lol

best cobbler on youtube

Unbelievable. Such Engineering - Much Wow

very cool work

I just like your amazing mover. But I must admit it was going a little to fast a the end with the video. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

You really do some amazing builds,well done.

briiliant brother haha its a real grass killer great job !!!!

Mad skills! Love the non music aspect also. ( In the end, I got rid of the lawn) 😁

Young man you have a gift, congrats, Fran

Excelente Excelencia trabajo

Очень круто! Смотрел не отрываясь. Ещё плазмареза не хватает до кучи.

Cool project nice work.

An absolutely awesome build - I would class that as a complete design and manufacture process right out of the garage - well done to you

Nice Upgrade!
