I frickin love it! Some scrap laying around, something between the ears and you save yourself a fortune. Cool

@xhenchmanx I welded it right to the frame, so yeah, I guess it's pinned. I originally build it for speed, so it was necessarily, then I slowed it down a little bit.

a little bit, it depends on how aggressive you are with the ratio. but these motors have a ton of torque, so theres plenty of room to improve.

@casebutler I usually use it for wood and brush, the way its set up is so a good amount of weight sits on the rear mower tires, which helps when your moving a big load. keeps the traction

thats a really ingenius way to hitch it to the mower, allowing the trailer to flex pretty much completely over.. wont be breaking hitches that way :p i really enjoy this. me and my buddy are making trailers similar to this, but 6.5 feet long and the axle right in the middle. we're going to take ours on camping hunting trips and sleep in the trailer.

I have a garden wagon with a piece of pipe for a tongue, it works great but I need one like yours.

it started way back when I was like 11 years old, that was when I got my first tractor. That was a really old yardman with an 8 hp on it, 1 foward and 1 reverse gear... then I got a 7 hp toro, with a 3 speed and chain drive. thats where I started!

@tylerervin05 it would do it, it'll drag a mower with locked up wheels, if it were on a trailer, it would be a piece of cake!

@axlesteel12 no, I didn't stiffen it at all. I did weld the steering column part to the body, but it's all still removable. The frame is pretty much original

@1967800 yeah, that kinda what I use it for... just odd jobs, it would be nice to have better sides on it

The kids must love riding on it

@tylerervin05 nice, black is easier to maintain. good luck on your build, it can be a lot of fun

One impressive man with great skill.

it was mounted to a tri-pod, that was ratchet strapped to the trailer

@FastClones its 14.5 inches wide, and 39.5 inches long, thats the original frame size, doesn't include anything I have done.

Yeah they do!

@TRcustomengineering thats a pretty goo idea, I wanted to keep this one narrow so it could squeeze down a trail.

@4343Jonathan you can't pulley swap a hydro, so as long as your ok with stock speed, you'll b fine

@ct9908 you can double up the spidergears, you just need to find an extra set..

I have an old MTD. Took it apart completely. All that is left is a rectangular frame and rear axle with wheels. The rear axle is held to the frame with two L-shaped planks, bolted on the side of the frame. I shall move them closer to the center to reduce the tongue load. The original rear axle has excellent bearing. Then several 2x4 bolted across the frame, plywood and here it is. The connection can be a smallest ball from a regular car hitch. However, this cost 20 dollars for the coupler. I can use an old ball joint as a ball connection. Not good for cars, but still OK for the lawn mower.

Thanks man! I try and keep thing interesting if I can, Some people like this sort of thing, other people think its a joke!

@Kornnmaster thanks, it was simple and tough way to build an axle

dude that thing awesome you should bolt some cheap buckets seats in it and get your budy's to go on a ride

Great vid!! I like that trailer alot, I need to make me one big enough to put other tractors on.

@beastygunna your gonna have to look at it and figure out where the play is, it's probably got a worn bushing or it's an mtd... they have crappy steering

thanks!

Haha nice man! You're a genious! Can't wait to see those spindles and better yet if everything works out i can't wait to put them on and actually ride my tractor with all 4 wheels instead of 3! LOL

@FastClones sweet! I cant wait to see taht!

this one is alright, bit I might re-build and improve it a little bit sometime soon

@wolverine63tony yeah, I didn't think I was gonna be hauling huge amounts of stuff around with my lawn mower, it'll support more weight then I would want to pull around

@Mississippi1313 that's neat, I'd like to have suspension on it, then people would probably ride in it.

@pivotboy63 thanks!

@wolverine63tony I wanted to keep this one small, so it would be kinda the same track width as the mower

@The70032 I did a pulley swap on it. you make the front one bigger, or the back one smaller... or both

Great Video

nice mower fearless, could we see some more videos of it. soon i hope, i might be getting a westwood mower as a project and i may be taking some of your ideas. i was out today in my standard 1985 MTD recording it driving through a few deepish puddles. also sometimes when i back up onto a hill the transaxle wont let me change from reverse to forward. it got me into a bit of trouble today when it decided to do it.

I wanna see a trail romp with the trailer and the diesel sears !

@spidermonkey651 yeah, she holds up well

@FlatwoodsAirsoft it was quick, but it's light and rigid

@fetters18 not sure, I should gps it

@wildpanthercutlery yeah actually, I do. I think I have 2 for a 28 cu in briggs, and 1 for a Tecumseh

about 6 feet from the tip of the draw-tie, to the back

@ShawnCFarm Thanks man!

I go it from a co-worker, the mower deck had a bad bearing, and it hadn't run it like 2 years. so they didn't really want it

@tughillredneck it's a lincoln electric weld pac 100

@Fo0gie ha ha, I think as long as they are the right setup, then you'll be happy with the result

@FastClones sure. what do you need for measurements? length and width?

Nice vids you have!

not yet, but give it time! lol

thats very cool man, i think thats how i will build my own trailer!

Nice trailer, im surprised you don't have some knobby tires on that thing

cool trailer

this is so cool cant wait to build my own

No joke in my eyes bro I love watchin ur vids I think u and Tmangokarts ur awesome as hell and I've learned a lot from u both so thanks very much bro

thanks for trailer idea

i was thinking about doing a trailer for mine, so i could haul wood in the winter months but unfortunately i sold it....kinda sad i did but now i have a 98 yamaha blaster frame im building i will end up making another sometime tho, and maybe go a little more as in travel and suspension and now that i have another axle and a couple sprockets maybe ever 4wd

@borntoberebel12 4" engine pulley, 5" trans pulley

I donno for sure man, every mower is gonna be different depending on tires, terrain, weight distribution on the trailer, ect...

@MrMustangMan1965 not anymore, sorry

maybe you could make it pivot in the center of the axle with shocks on both sides. this would make the trailer bed stay nearly level at all times

@brooklandboy13 I know, I should. I just dont have any for it right at the moment.

it was a 98 murray widebody lt

have you ever thought of putting a ball hitch on the back of your tractor??

How have I never seen this video. I'm about to put up a video of my mower, it's about 3 inches off the ground.

I have a Simplicity lawn mower with no mower deck but it's a 16 horsepower and has a cast iron differential that is a slip differential

@Fearlessfront OK cool thanks good luck on your Racing more Ohh and i would go with the Honda Engine for it too

Great job, good video.

it's because of the pulley swap, making it spin faster

@243generallee I'm waiting on parts right now, hopefully soon

you are a good welder i could use you for some of my projects

I have a 1-1 ratio on my tractor and it will pull a 5x10 trailer with two small four wheelers in it

@jarjr88 I've seen his channel, he does a lot of just vloging, which gets old to me quick. he does have some neat stuff on there though.

@SuperCheeker I'd need some more original craftsman parts to do it

@Fearlessfront alright sweet thanks... you'll know why i need that in my next video ;)

sounds good man! it was a fun build for me, feel free to post pics on my facebook wall

@Fearlessfront I know! it would be sick, i already have the idea (Via-my other video) and i have all the parts, if i do im going to use a lawn cheif rear end the same kind that your peerless came off, and im going to put a sprocket on thee rear transaxle and run a chain up to a jackshaft then down to the front end, the reason im not running it straigh to the front end is because it would hang kina lown and i down want it snagging, but it would definitely be sick!

@z54177 I'll get a video of that up for ya soon!

you should be able too. as long as they don't weight 600 lbs

ya, thats how I had to move to motors around

Really nice trailer feerless, one question though, why does your tractor's transmission whine when its moving, is it just because its been locked?

@A1kills3 how old? if you talking 70's then it's a lot more then the 80's+

that sound pretty low, you should be ok, just dont tow heavy loads up hills, it cold wear out your belt quicker than normal

we used a 13 horse husqvarna in a parade to pull about 1000lbs trailer without any trouble (btw it has a very nice engine a b&s diamond right?)

U could put I bolts in the holes in the sign poles

i am looking in to something like that for my new go cart

@dylanbab6 4wd would be awesome! I want to do that soon.

thats pretty sweet

@HkSBoG h aha! I would probably coat the camera with mud the way I drive!

@fergfergferg123 I wanted so it would fit down a narrow trail

that is so nice

be careful not to put to muck weight up front you could bend your axels (in the lawn mower transaxel) but nice job

@MyDcasey I'll be putting up a vid tomorrow

if it was geared low enough, then yeah it would

dang that lawn mower was haulin ass at the end of the video! whats your pulley setup? i want me mower to do that!

Hi! I am thinking of getting a garden tractor for mowing and also for towing a cart that takes 3-400kg. I am not sure how many hp is enough to tow that load and which type of transmission can cope - hydrostatic or manual and is any paticular brand better that otthers - Craftsman, MTD?

Thanks

Nice ,looks fun

@superkwabbes no, I have one for mowing! lol

@Fearlessfront Harbor Freight has some nice ones for about $10 a piece and their already mounted

Sweet *****
