We were doing this back in the early 90's as kids when riding lawnmowers became rather common to make go-karts, those 20+HP engines worked a LOT better than a little 5 or 6HP engine.

Have fun and Don't kill yourself, I like that Advice!! I like what you have going on there. I am also into Rodding these things. I have a 12 Horsepower Break m and Scrap m on one of mine. I am close to finishing up my most recent build. It's based on an old 165 Hydro John Deere. I have a 5 Speed with a variable Speed pulley System as well. 24 Horsepower Kohler V Twin engine. Your right, there are easy to Flip. Keep the greasy side down and the shiny side UP!!

I like the Scoop, I am doing a Ram Air on mine with Duct Work under the Hood directly into the Fan. I never understood why they don't do it from the Factory because you're recirculating the so much of the heat back into the fan under the Hood. My project is a part time thing, I have to get the 1959 Chevy Apache that I am doing for an old customer of mine done so I work on my Lawn Pro at night in the living Room. I also have Two more Tractors coming in. One of them is going to a friend of mine who just got a place with a Big Yard. Looks like you are doing pretty good with this Rat Rod Tractor Gig, Keep Having Fun!!

@SilvaDreams4 жыл бұрын
Riding lawnmowers don't have a gas peddle. They use the same type of throttle you see on a self moving push mower (you've likely seen one that goes from turtle to rabbit) and there is also a mechanical governor on them that adjusts as either the blades are put under power or lowered as you apply the break.

Yea, I've wondered about that on all these pulley change, speed modification videos I've seen. In watching yours, I could see how jittery the steering wheel was. Although you were able to handle it just fine, I've wondered if anyone has tried replacing the rather primitive, overly simple geared steering assembly in mowers with a steering sector from a small car. Many, many years ago, I changed out the old original non-power steering sector to a power steering sector on my 76 Jeep CJ-7. In doing that, I learned how a steering sector worked & at that time, I started wondering about speeding up lawn mowers, but using a sector in place of those overly simple steering gears used in a riding lawn mower. Since you're not dealing with near the weight of a vehicle, I'd think a steering sector (powered or not) would help stabilize the steering & control of the modified mower quite a bit once you get it adapted in place of the original setup. Just a thought I've had since the 90's.

Comparing the mini bike engine to the Briggs engine as pertaining to removing the governing is a bad comparison. Two completely different engines and you even said you didn't rev the mini bike much. In my experience with removing governors from Briggs and Tecumsehs, the engine blew up. You should have focused on a pulley swap, not removing the governor. You never actually said if you did a pulley swap or not.
