Tip for welding. Push, don't pull. Tip for bending steel. Heat it til it glows red hot. 👍 Hope this helps! Nice mower btw. Looks bad ass!

Look on market place for cars parting out and get you some cheap metal for skid plates and other accessories. You can also look 4 go cart parts to fix the tow on your front tires . They also have spring loaded spindles where your wheel mount on another excellent idea. Also you could mount rear go kart shocks on your rear axel to frame .. you could replace that belt drive cog for a juggernaut to sprocket set up instead of the current clutch system your using . Just some ideas for ya . And good luck .

Great problem solving, engineering and fab work! Most impressive!!

Nice build alredy Igot also some murrays that I want to build into a mud mover.👍

for race mowers, i always use some 10w40 or similar viscosity hydraulic fluid. that grease will slowly expand, then burn with speed and time. one of my old poulan race mowers is still being used almost 14 years now, won a race and had a top speed of 52. good luck and i know yall are having fun!

this inspired me to start working on my john Deere 111 build again, always love your vids!

Oh wow, that’s a sweet lil mower you got there.

I am really impressed. Like really really. Yall did a phenomenal job . Especially with what little tools you have. Man fricken awesome job on the mower and with the video production. That's all the way around, bad ass.

I love it! So when are you gonna go the other direction? you know, lifted, 4wd riding lawn mower!!! lol.

When you were welding those fenders with the mig , you were traveling the wrong direction. MiG welders are designed to push not pull cause the job of the gas is to shield the weld from impurities.

Love ur videos. Keep making more ❤

Nice job guys becareful using a impact to start a motor like that I snapped off the nut holding the flywheel of a John deer doing the same thing!

looks awesome

Looks awesome bud! I'm building a slammed yt ford LM, I made spindles like the ones you made, I'm using the old opposed twin with a 30 VM carb and open header straight pipes, louder then a bitch

Can't wait for part 3

I also have one and also want to customize it you did it. You also gave my some Ideas how to do some of the Things. Thx ❤. Keep making videos ❤

You Dave from Dirthead Shed to help you bag that thang!

Nice work guys. I would have probably packed those shaft bushings with grease during assembly. Seems like a high wear part.

looks good

so cool man!

looking good

Good work bro i like it ✌🏻

Nice work gentlemen, From the looks of things you must live in Michigan

Looks great, you seemed to have got the bolts on the rear axles straight

@mycustomgokart ik you probably don't care but for body work you use tac welds and spread them out so i doesn't warp as much

12 HP - She's gonna scream when dialed in!

You can preheat that crack with a torch and mig weld it.

she's a beauty

So cool

the goat

Try heavy tractor gear-oil, the stuff that goes into vintage tractors. It's very syrupy, but still has some flow, plus it will stay in the box. You only need enough lube to get at least one of the lowest, smallest gears to touch the surface and drag it into the system. Too much and you're creating drag that turns engine power into heat while losing it for forward motion.

I'm still here waiting for part 3😢

Can you make a turbo on the lawn mower❤

Nice

you should make a video of you fabricating a 212 onto a dirt bike frame

hell yeaaaa

Put a turbo on the jd.

Love it guys!! Got a similar transaxle on a husqvarna mower im building at the moment, just wondering, is it necessary to weld the diff to make it drift? Love the build, keep it up!!

Hey awesome video been looking forward to it, in the process of doing the same to my Murray mower right now. What did you guys use to re-seal that transaxel?

Sick Tractor!! Where do you buy the pulleys?

Amazing man, i got the same mower, slightly different but same era, but also did you put your battery under the gas tank? And how big of a battery do you have? Im trying to figure out battery placement and stuff for mine, and also i might use your idea of shifter too because that seems relatively easy to do it that way, love the build.

that thing is awesome! have you done any speed testing on it yet?

Get pt3 out nowwwww

Why don't you install a mx bike motor at the carts?

Get a vtwin so much power

you should put the murray on a tshirt

what size pulley you use in front and back?

3 more months till part 3 😅 Jk jk 😂

Only using half your front tires and you got like 15° of turn ability. Also it's too short, just make it longer.

dont do that to the gearbox. just use 80w90 or 85w140. with that thick red grees axis do not have enouth lube.

You need some welding gloves man

Where do you guys find the right torque specs

What model is it ??

Why not use a go-kart steering setup.

is that a 7 speed trans??? and dude, use steel pullies, not aluminum! they like to break or shear the keyways. cast iron or steel is best.

Yo can I have one

I'll save all the work and buy a go kart

You can put to much in there..

please learn to make good front end those spindle make my eye bleed and get a v-twin

Are you able to shift the gears on a ride on while its moving? I thought that'd f*ck up your trans
