Lookin' good so far. It's okay to weld galvy AFAIK as long as you don't breath the fumes. Don't use brake clean on anything you are going to weld, I've read some horror stories...
@loansharky yeah, I have to, but I have done it... nothing happened to me, at all. Although I dont make it a habit to breath any welding fumes, they're all toxic.
nice videos, take it your welding with flux core, I dont see no bottle on your welder!..try using Stargon, its kinda expensive but well worth it, makes beautiful beads!
might be thinking of putting a high price tag on that and sell it as new , get your money back and finance your next build . plus just cause there a price doesn't mean you have to sell it till someone pays full price , just a thought
wondering how loud it will be ? guess very , but you could look into some custom muffler work that shouldn't rob any power and might give you some torque , just a thought . really wish i could time machine forward and watch the rest of your build . alot of people start projects and never take the time to finish every thing so well .
makes me want to buy an old mower and go to town . cant wait for the rest , really like to see how well that thing works . built a few go carts in my day but never mower style like yours , just rocks . fabing up the front and rear was just great work man really .
just watched all your videos , very cool , nice work . you really need to work on your welding but very good over all . i was wondering how much weld bits you have blocking your exhaust pipe . love most every thing you did , great work . thinking you should weld a 90 or 45 to the exhaust then cut your angle , really give it the custom cut look but no biggie .
@heydo6 I tried to keep the slag insied the pipe to a minimum, i'm sure there is a little bit in there... And I hate it when people start a really cool build, then stop... drives me nuts!!
@Fearlessfront i always wanted to build one of them but i only have on tractor and that one is to mow my lawn i like that one that you made that was the crawler its awesome
hey man i got a 1964 crafstman and the tank is hooked up to my hood and i was wondering if you would make me a video on how you hooked up you gas tank on your racing mower go kart thing.
hell ya bro i really like your vids sorry i haven't been around just been busy but im glad i watched this vid im gunna go work on my tractor now woot woot and by the way great job on that cart man your one hell of an engineer
Be proud of your welds. When you grind them you are trying to hide something. Good effort however you need a lathe or machined bushings to do it right.
@tjsnordic I was trying to make it look "seamless" so when it's painted, it will look like one piece of steel. My weld are still improving. They used to look really nasty
@UncleJesseXXX hah a, It took me some searching and waiting b4 I got this one. I'll try to do new videos weekly, but it's a busy time of year for me, so I spend little bits of time here and there to get it done. It's been coming along nicely though!
cant wait to see what this thing looks like when its done, its gunna be sick, and fearless.. im sorry, bt im selling my monster mower haha, $200, goten quite a few hits on craigslist abot it, im hoping to trade for a go kart, and it seems like its golden, but that doesnt mean im getting out of lawn mowers, never
@dylanbab6 I stopped mower modding for a few years, then I got back into it. Now I think I take it a little too seriously! lol I hope you find your cart!
@Fearlessfront to me its not getting a little to serious, its mastery lol, the more you do it the better you get at it. but thanks, im thinking about just bulding my own
@Fearlessfront i hear ya, luckily i have alot of the stuff that i need, most of it is just thinking of how its all going to go together and getting the engine/clutch/rear axle is the only problem im having
fearless i like all the videos u do. they interest me so much and make start thinking on fixing my mower. btw yes i like the fabication videos just any u do
Hey man I love your vids iv watched all of them they really help me out I have a mtd lawn pro 12 1/2 hp ohv but have no clue what year I need to find out tho so far I have put zero money into it I have a five bay shop and there's no shortage of srap/junk metal laying around I use that and original parts/pullys to build it I plan to put some vids up soon keep us updated. If u can tell me what year mine is and also the transmission that would be great it's a six speed
@704richard704 look on the motor there is a metal tag on the top or the side. the first 2 digits of the "code" will tell you the year. IF the motor is original.
just a little tip. when welding galv. steel grind off the glav. coating, it will leave the bare steel and it makes for a better weld. but great vids! hope you get it up and running soon cant wait to see you lay a little rubber haha
sweet setup and parts man! i just finished me racing mower today, its the same craftsman as ur crawler but really fast. keep up the good vids man and i cant wait till the next :)
@Fearlessfront its goes around 35 mph right now and were gunna make it faster. it has a 3.5 inch on the trans axle and were puttin a 6 on engine insted of the 4 thats on there. should i lock the trans axle on it or leave it as is for racing, im racing it this up comming weekend at the races at the rodeo. and its a 6 speed
@Fearlessfront honestly i dont think i could piss them off any more than i already have, lol, lets see theres the fourwheeler without the silencer and, my garden tractor lol
@Fearlessfront thats true you can change it, im actualy building another racer and this time i might actualy be racing it and ill get a vid up soon i havent in over a month due to a dirtbike accident with a stick through my foot so hopefully ill get back to the mower vids soon
@Fearlessfront yes the right tool allways helps. also i seen you replying to some one els your hoping for tire riping donuts. hate to burn your high hopes but your gona need some more power for that even with the comet clutchs. probably get some whip arounds with what you have tho :)
@petah14 thanks! But I realized the wheels I was thinking I was gonna use wont fit these tires. The wheels that I can use, require a different bolt pattern. So i had to return a bunch of parts to order new ones. but it should be a rolling chassis soon.
@Fearlessfront Thats too bad:( but im sure you'll think of sumthin cool for the front and rear! great work though and i cant wait to see this thing movining along... any guess as to the speed it might go when done?
great video FF, loving the greased bushes, very clever. and didnt know you could burr the edge of that nipple to get a tight fit, simple ideas are always the best ones.. for me i'd say more fabrication clips, they are the ones i enjoy the most... keep it up cant wait for the next one
nice dude.... like the tiers... gunna be beast!!! what kind of gear ratio are u gunna use are you gunna use a jackshoft and how fast do you thinks shell go?
@kdwedge243 yeah, either a jack shaft or a torque converter. Not sure on top speed, but I'd like it to go 40-45mph... But I still want enough power to rip donuts... Hopefully it works out.
@Fearlessfront i'd go with jackshaft only because there easy to make and you dont have to worry about a belt slipping... i think youll get it to do donuts maby look online for some equations to figuar out a good gear ratio.. im not sure of any but i know there out there...
man you're gonna have one damn long chain! But hell there aint a damn thing wrong with that. Ya can always but it some tensors or however you spell it. the things people use to get the slack out of chain and what not. GOOD VIDEO!
@bubbawinchester it'll either have a jackshaft setup, or a torque converter on it. It should help keep the chain under control. I'll also put some spring tensioners on it as well.
when i took off my gas tank, which i shouldnt have, i broke the outlet pipe or the petcock and im looking for a new one, if you dont use the stock gas tank i would b interested in the pet cock
Nice fabrication vids. Karts gonna look badass when its finishd! Keep up the good work. cant wait to see ya actually get to drive it for the first time.
@FastClones in your honda clone mod video, you have a pic of two racing mowers sitting next to each other, I'm sort of using that and some other mow-chines as my inspiration.
@lawnmoweredneck101 It'll be a toy for anyone who wants to ride it around the yard. I may take it to a parade or car shows and stuff, but I doubt I'll race it..(officially) there are way too many rules to have fun!
You are really good at this stuff!!! I need to get my shop cleaned up so I can learn how to do everything. And yes I love these fabrication style videos! AWESOME!!!
it's been about month since my internet has worked properly so i'm catching up on all the vids i like your new style to the vids. hopefully i can post some vids since i finally got a new laptop my freebie of 3 years died finally. i only have a crappy digital camera so i don't know how good they'll be
yea, i like the fabricating. it looks great. i don't know anything about racing carts or lawn mowers and i hate to even say this but....... I'm concerned about the caster. it looks to be about 0* at 7:46ish. it's probably fine, i dunno but i'd think you have to be careful to keep the rear axle mounted high, meaning not to jack up the rear anymore. if the rear of the frame is say 2" higher than the front, it looks like you might have negative caster. is caster an issue? will it speed wobble?
@duranate I though about that a little bit, but I probably should have worked a little bit of caster into the front end. BUT, the rear wheels should be on roughly the same level as the front tires. Thats why I modified the front spindles, to get the mounting point higher. I wanted it to sit level or with a smidge of forward rake.
Lookin' good so far. It's okay to weld galvy AFAIK as long as you don't breath the fumes. Don't use brake clean on anything you are going to weld, I've read some horror stories...

great video FF, loving the greased bushes, very clever. and didnt know you could burr the edge of that nipple to get a tight fit, simple ideas are always the best ones.. for me i'd say more fabrication clips, they are the ones i enjoy the most... keep it up cant wait for the next one

nice dude.... like the tiers... gunna be beast!!! what kind of gear ratio are u gunna use are you gunna use a jackshoft and how fast do you thinks shell go?
kdwedge243 7 months ago
@kdwedge243 yeah, either a jack shaft or a torque converter. Not sure on top speed, but I'd like it to go 40-45mph... But I still want enough power to rip donuts... Hopefully it works out.
Fearlessfront 7 months ago
@Fearlessfront i'd go with jackshaft only because there easy to make and you dont have to worry about a belt slipping... i think youll get it to do donuts maby look online for some equations to figuar out a good gear ratio.. im not sure of any but i know there out there...
kdwedge243 7 months ago
man you're gonna have one damn long chain! But hell there aint a damn thing wrong with that. Ya can always but it some tensors or however you spell it. the things people use to get the slack out of chain and what not. GOOD VIDEO!
bubbawinchester 7 months ago
@bubbawinchester it'll either have a jackshaft setup, or a torque converter on it. It should help keep the chain under control. I'll also put some spring tensioners on it as well.
Fearlessfront 7 months ago
@Fearlessfront yea that should work out just fine. But Twist throttle is the way to go. LOL ya can put a power band on it! haha that thing would fly!

@FastClones in your honda clone mod video, you have a pic of two racing mowers sitting next to each other, I'm sort of using that and some other mow-chines as my inspiration.
The tires were cheap considering....

@Fearlessfront yeah thats what i was going for too.

so are u planing on racing it or just keeping it to drive around in ur yard?
lawnmoweredneck101 7 months ago
@lawnmoweredneck101 It'll be a toy for anyone who wants to ride it around the yard. I may take it to a parade or car shows and stuff, but I doubt I'll race it..(officially) there are way too many rules to have fun!

You are really good at this stuff!!! I need to get my shop cleaned up so I can learn how to do everything. And yes I love these fabrication style videos! AWESOME!!!

it's been about month since my internet has worked properly so i'm catching up on all the vids i like your new style to the vids. hopefully i can post some vids since i finally got a new laptop my freebie of 3 years died finally. i only have a crappy digital camera so i don't know how good they'll be

@wolverine63tony hey, thats how i started, with a digital camera.... It'll work, you might have to find some conversion software, but it can be done!
Fearlessfront 7 months ago
yea, i like the fabricating. it looks great. i don't know anything about racing carts or lawn mowers and i hate to even say this but....... I'm concerned about the caster. it looks to be about 0* at 7:46ish. it's probably fine, i dunno but i'd think you have to be careful to keep the rear axle mounted high, meaning not to jack up the rear anymore. if the rear of the frame is say 2" higher than the front, it looks like you might have negative caster. is caster an issue? will it speed wobble?
duranate 7 months ago
@duranate I though about that a little bit, but I probably should have worked a little bit of caster into the front end. BUT, the rear wheels should be on roughly the same level as the front tires. Thats why I modified the front spindles, to get the mounting point higher. I wanted it to sit level or with a smidge of forward rake.
