[streetracer94]

how did u make the throttle pedal??

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@streetracer94 It's just a bicycle brake lever bolted on.

[streetracer94]

@TheDaveNukemChannel oh, and one more thing how'd u hook it up to the throttle on the carb?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@streetracer94 Pulled the cable wire through the hole on the throttle arm on the carburetor and put a special nut and screw that's made for locking cable wires in place.

[5460mf]

Please can someone tell me how to make a foot accelerator and what would happen if you just used the normal forward and reverse gears?

[Gatewayuser200]

wow im doing that to the next riding lawnmower i get

[Motorfordtoyota]

Interesting way to get the bigger pully on there. lol

[hheywire]

put a damn 3 inch pulley in the back man, thats practicaly still stock speed of my zero turn mower!

[freddyz9363]

that sucks u could of switched pullys

[cubcadetboy1962]

Thedavenukemchannel. Thanks im gonna do that to mine.

[cubcadetboy1962]

Thedavenukemchannel.

What did you make the spacers out of?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@cubcadetboy1962 Square-shaped steel pipe. Round pipe will work, too.

[cubcadetboy1962]

Thedavenukemanchannel. thanks i want to do that to mine. How well dose it work

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@cubcadetboy1962 It works just as good as before you changed it.

[cubcadetboy1962]

How tall are the spacers

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@cubcadetboy1962 4 1/4 in. including the washers.

[huntman141]

[loweylegend]

[chevyhigh350]

i have ariding mower with 11 inch front pulley. 2 inch in back 18.5 briggs turbo 7 speed. spicer rearend cooled runs about 50 mph

[scottadowns]

I Love the old rusted stuff. Pull some wheelies with it!!!!!!!!

[alaskanman1234567891]

how do you know what size belt you need if you change the pulleys

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@alaskanman1234567891 I didn't know. I took the lawnmower with me to Advance Auto Parts and they let me bring some belts outside in the parking lot to see which one would fit.

[DSLGKC550]

does this design really works ?? if the engine is much higher...

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@DSLGKC550 Obviously. It's still working great.

[rwolfert1]

I like this video and its funny sitting on a hard rusted seat and one guy you got put a cushion on it to stay comtrable

[bob97308]

What size is the belt

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@bob97308 91 in.

[thecanadainredneck53]

@TheDaveNukemChannel my 11 hp vraftsmen has 2 drive belts look at my vid any ideas?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@thecanadainredneck53 You'll probably want to ask someone else about that. I'm not very familiar with those types. As long as there is one, single pulley on the transaxle, you should be able to change it to a smaller size. And you can also change the engine pulley to a larger size if you want even more speed. That double pulley in the middle shouldn't be a problem. You'll just have to get shorter belts

[kenyoo123]

the pipes

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@kenyoo123 4 1/4 in. That's including the washers I put on each end of the pipe.

[kenyoo123]

whats the measurement? cuz i have the same one. pls tell mee

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@kenyoo123 Measurement of what?

[chevymandan1234]

did u weld or drill holes so that u could run bults threw it? and do i haft to change back pully

[chevymandan1234]

what are them bars u have bulted to motor ..can u get them at a auto shop like auto zone or somthen?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@chevymandan1234 I used those to lift the motor up so I could use the mower deck pulley as the drive pulley. You should be able to find pipe like that about anywhere. Maybe a scrap metal yard. Some strong, round pipe would probably work, too.

[chevymandan1234]

@TheDaveNukemChannel did u weld them or bolt them on? and did u change the belt and back pully?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@chevymandan1234 I just bought longer bolts and slipped them through. Yeah, I changed the back pulley and belt. I think the back pulley is 5 1/2 inches diameter.

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@chevymandan1234 Also, if you're planning to do something like this, you'll have to raise the gas tank since you're raising the engine so the gas will flow. You will probably have to cut out some of the hood, too, because the gas tank will be in the way.

[bongeholeboy]

i have a golf cart just like that!!!

[ArrcanarStudios]

he rides a lawn mower to the station?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@ArrcanarStudios Yep.

[ArrcanarStudios]

@TheDaveNukemChannel lol that's cool!

[MrMynameisalex]

i got 1 for free today. needs motor rebuilt.

[TheCommanderNZ]

Where is the Budweiser drink holder?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@TheCommanderNZ I just put the hood back on. I had to cut a hole in it for the gas tank because I had to raise it higher. Now that I have that out of the way, I probably will put a drink holder on it and maybe a rack. I seen some camouflage spraypaint the other day at the store. I might paint it camo.

Dave actually rides this to the gas station to get beer. XD

[TheCommanderNZ]

@TheDaveNukemChannel

"Dave actually rides this to the gas station to get beer. XD"

I would have thought he would do something like this... Let me guess, he is somewhat drunk when he does this as well? Isn't that gas station just at the end of the drive way and round the corner a bit?

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@TheCommanderNZ He does it whether he's drunk or not. Yeah, it's nearby. He rides it through my neighbor's yard to get there. My neighbor doesn't mind though because we mow her yard anyway. He definitely needs a beer holder and a rack or something to transport the Bud. I'll see what I can come up with. I'll probably paint it before I even get to that though. It looks crappy and needs a paint job.

[adam8871]

you should make a race video between you and dave and your uncle or dad i think it is.

[TheDaveNukemChannel]

@adam8871 My other lawnmower is not modified. This lawnmower would be the winner. But yeah, I might do something like that just for laughs.
