Racing Mower Re-build Update #13 (part two)

[bobhadababitsaboy]

maybe tecumseh valve cover

[bobhadababitsaboy]

yeah thats perfect you just need to dump it into aome larger pipe towards the end for the crazy deep echo

[barstoolbob58]

I have some videos up that you can see the carts that i built

[barstoolbob58]

I have 13" tires on the back, you dudes can get stuff cheaper then we can get it for up here,I bought the same caliper in princess auto cost $70.00 plus tax the braket cost $15.00,I scored a set of rims the same as what you have but they came on a 40mm axel I think i can cut it in the middle and shorten it rather then getting keyways cut in it to keep the price down I enjoy you vids keep them coming P.S. I like the tires you picked

[jack9102]

definitely still gonna slow-roast your ass, should put at least a bit of headerwrap under the seat... good progress though, can't wait to see it driving! :D

[pdgeman]

May I suggest rubber on the edge of the diamond plate? Kind of like that Chrome strip stuff for your car door edge, but they make it in rubber. I could see that edge being a problem if you were to ever wreck it.

[Fearlessfront]

@pdgeman Edging? I have some, alot of that stuff will wait till the end. the little detail stuff that is.

[pdgeman]

@Fearlessfront Good job, didn't you mention it in the video.. Good progress so far! I watched part 14 yesterday, then watched and subbed streetlegalkarts. Have a good day fearlessfront.

[Fearlessfront]

@pdgeman no, I didn't. but there are a lot of little ideas in my head for the final product. I'll have to wait and see what fits once i'm done.

[TheChevyboy1994]

when is #14?!?!?!?!cant wait!!

[jordesclark]

i just thought i would say, i really dont like the exhaust mount, really, it should be flexible, to cope with the vibration, as you will feel a hell of alot through the seat. If you look at your cars exhaust mountings, theres little rubber bushes, i think if you could do a simple version of these, you would be a fair bit more comfortable, and it wouldnt rattle itself to pieces :p good work so far though :)

[Fearlessfront]

@jordesclark yeah, I'm putting a different seat on it, so I may have to lower the route of the exhaust a bit.

And I dont really like the mount either.

[jordesclark]

@Fearlessfront Yeah, i heard in your latest video your putting a new seat on it, its coming along nicely now, nearly down to the fine details really! And I do hope you get over your laryngitis or whatever it is, not nice feeling crappy :/ Take Care and Regards from the UK :)

[crazydrake08]

you should put a wheelie bar on it just to be safe:)

[DUKEJOHNSON63]

At 14:37, for your guard bolts, could you use Carriage Bolts?

[Fearlessfront]

@DUKEJOHNSON63 those usually have little squares on the under side of the head, so no, probably not

[TheJ8768]

when is update #14 ?

[kawibbyrule]

i think instead of grinding the whole dimond off i think it would look nicer if you just drilled it with like a pilot bit and resese the head of the bolt better so that way you dont have all those grinding marks on it

[Fearlessfront]

@kawibbyrule thats an interesting idea, where can I find one of those bits?

[kawibbyrule]

@Fearlessfront well if you have a menards or homedepo or even tractor suply might have them too its the same bit you use when you counter sink a wood screw into wood ive used them before on softer metals before it works just fine

[Fearlessfront]

@kawibbyrule i might have some, I'll have to look around a bit

[MrDtpdtp]

what about a gas pedal?

[Fearlessfront]

@MrDtpdtp thumb throttle!

[cubsbears25231]

hey i like the new exhaust but i think that it would look pretty cool if you converted it into duals.

[ggoldston93]

bro you got to put on an E-brake that would be sick lol

[Fearlessfront]

@ggoldston93 I actually thought about doing that, I might try to rig something up like that, I have a few idea how, just not 100% sure I'll need it.

Would be cool though!

[BeastyGhettoKidz]

header wrap would be beast.it would look neat.just an idea, get more dimond plate and make rear fenders.just find a way to bend it

[BeastyGhettoKidz]

dude, i think it is awsome!!what i would do for the paint is paint it black.keep it original.murder it out!

[traxxluver]

Hey great build I just came across your channel today and boy iv always wanted to build a racing cart but just not in the budget for me but anyway what if you bought some header wrap and wrapped the exhaust from the motor up to just the seat looks like a tight fit I'd hate to burn my leg on that!

[EisteesauferXXL]

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR PART 14!

[EisteesauferXXL]

When Comes Part 14?

I'm waiting!

[victorL96]

can't you upload more videos, a week or two are to much to whait for a new video it's so awesome

[UncleJesseXXX]

You need your own show on spike tv!

[71cubcudet]

get some mesh or an old motorcycle header wrap

[cj15941]

Header wrap, Mr. Front. Header wrap.

[DoubleD2869]

you mite wanna header wrap the exhaust because the header looks real close to the seat, i dont think u want hot nuts haha

[NicksGarageDoor]

Hey Todd, I got a Lincoln 110 mig welder for Christmas, along with a helmet, gloves, and spare parts. The welder looks a lot like yours. Any tips for starting out?

[Fearlessfront]

@NicksGarageDoor use lincoln electric brand wire! I get it at lowes... Flux core that is... if your gonna weld with gas (argon) then it's a little different

Good present!

[NicksGarageDoor]

@Fearlessfront

Thanks. There are two extra spools of gasless wire that came with it. Not so sure about the spool that's in it now...

[Fearlessfront]

@NicksGarageDoor Nice, thats the best wire I've used. I need to get a new tip for mine.

[rustyj3100]

@Fearlessfront hey man i like to come down and meet u and mud run with u if u like to one cuz i like u to look at my mower and tell what i can to make it better so if u like to go ride one day on mowers one let me know

[roydora]

exhaust looks way better out the back

[mpolaris100]

you could put some heat wrap on the exhaust because it looks pretty close to your leg

[bytmeh]

hey man when I'm marking difficult holes sometimes I use a new bolt in the hole, then line up the material and hit with a rubber mallet gently to mark the reverse side for drilling :D

[TorqueRanger]

Diamond plate is not cheap in anyway but alot of times I get tread plate alot cheaper than diamond plate from welding places and metal repair places which sells metal too..Plus I have a huge couple hundred acre steel place.. Good Job boss

[nos676]

I'm tuning the F out of a GX200 motor (genuine) and that valve cover you received in the mail looks like a GX160/GX200 cover, and yours looks like a GX390 cover (yours is a GX390 right?)

check my channel for future video updates to my go-kart videos, apparently youtube has a problem with sony vegas 10.0d and 1080p videos o.o

I'm going to make a go-kart frame myself as well :)

[Fearlessfront]

@nos676 its a clone, 6.5 hp so I think its a 200. I'm gonna be modding the piss out of it as well

[sputnic543]

are you gonna have any sorta light setup also what kind handle bar set up are you using?

[102CubMan]

i actually have a very nice 11hp gilson lawn tractor too!!! great tractors.

[EisteesauferXXL]

Build a protection for the exhaust.

So you will not burn your legs.

[treetoad2]

do you use gas less wire?

[Fearlessfront]

@treetoad2 yes, its called flux core

[Tyou57]

Hi I'm new to your Chanel herd about from backyard j he is awsome vids too cool cart hope to see more good stuff

[jonathanbugay45]

be careful welding with bolts in it can arc across the threads and weld the bolts in. made that mistake on my pully

[troy5251]

You should get some header wrap so you don't melt your leg plus it would look cool as hell and would hide any imperfection in the pipe

[skylar1134]

Are you really gonna be working on it x-mas weekend?

[camcamlh]

i can tell you one thing man you have a lot of talent and pashents, ive been watching this re biuld and there is alot of improvment, good job man

[Fearlessfront]

@camcamlh yeah, going on 7 months now

[pumkinchunkin]

u need wheels duh try driving without wheels! lol but great build

[82kartracer1]

I would invest in some exhaust wrap from the header to the chrome just for insurance against burns. But its looking great man. What color are you going with paint wise?

[Fearlessfront]

@82kartracer1 cant say, it's a suprize

[82kartracer1]

@Fearlessfront AAAAHHHH LOL im getting ready to tear mine down for paint. its going to be a bright white with copper orange race strips and on the bottom of it will have blades of grass. ill send you pics when im done

[Fearlessfront]

@82kartracer1 Nice! are you gonna use spray cans, or hvlp? I'm probably try to get some ppg custom mixed into spray cans myself

[82kartracer1]

@Fearlessfront hvlp. i had our local PPG auto paint mix me up some colors a few weeks back. just got the exhaust welded up and put on and i can listen to that 20HP twin engine idle all day LOL sounds like a harley (potato potato potato)

[MemphoeWest]

i wanna take the engine out of a front wheel drive car and make the most sketchyes gokart but the engine whould be in the back drivn the back tires

[Alexjoeman]

what type of welder do you use for your projects?

[Fearlessfront]

@Alexjoeman its a lincoln electric 110v mig wire feed welder... awesome little rig!

[treetoad2]

if you could do a quick walk around get more angles to see if ya missed anything

[generalmotors7]

on the exhaust up by the motor... i noticed the bends u put from the chrome pipe up to the flange seem like they might come close to your leg. do they? if so u should definitely build some type of heat shield or something to guard your leg

[Fearlessfront]

@generalmotors7 It's not as close as it looks like it would be, I'll have to show it in the next video I guess.

[deepracer112]

great job! something u should really do is put those LED lights u got from the other uTube user and make as head lights!

[Stimulator757]

A good idea would probably be to add a heat guard for the exhaust, and a skid plate for the rear sprocket.

[SuperKONR]

Maybe some small cycle fenders? A mesh muffler guard might be a good idea. Awesome build, thumbs up as always!

[treetoad2]

@kerkerh22 i made one for my mower it wasent too hard... 1/4 in steel a grinder cutter and drillbit

[treetoad2]

Nice i like the new exhaust... When ya gunna get the murrey out for some snow boggin?

[Fearlessfront]

@treetoad2 the snow is gone, but we might be getting some more in the next few days

[motorbuilds]

bumper?

[desertbowhunter]

where did u get the diamond plate

[MrRussellsteven]

this is really cool and merry christmas



[EisteesauferXXL]

Idea: la cucaracha

You need a battery for the horn when the engine has no alternator

[EisteesauferXXL]

Chroming the exhaust complete

It will look better.

[EisteesauferXXL]

A silencer would be good

[RebelMan383]

As I was watching your video I noticed that where you put the bend in the exhaust that is gunna be right next to your knee when you sit down... might want to put a heat shield made out of mesh like how they do on a Semi's or on a dirt bike's muffler....... Hope this helps!

Love your videos keep up the good work!

[517Duke]

I would also make a muffler guard so you dont bur your leg as bad when you sit down.

[classic32428]

every thing u have done to that is kick ass i was thinken u may want to put a heat shield by ur leg. but what ever u do i can't wait till u test ride it!!!! keep up the good work :)

[ccgokarting]

i like how its coming i cant wait till its done uv inspired me to build one

[FrencunoZeTroll]

Thats a pretty strong looking frame but I guess its better to be safe than sorry!

[kerkerh22]

did u get that exhaust from the engine? u didnt make that ur self?

[Fearlessfront]

@kerkerh22 the flange? i cut it off of the old clone exhaust, then welded my new pipe to it

[kerkerh22]

@Fearlessfront oh ok, cuase im trying to fix a old three wheeler up an the exhuast is rotted to nothing an didnt know if there was a easy way to make a flang

[kerkerh22]

this is sick man good job

[SuperBigox]

On the guards you can weld nuts on the back so you dont have to try and get tools between the torque converter and guard. Just an idea.

[TheElgorr]

that exhaust is going to be really hot against your legs and under your seat. but it looks sick.

[APDlandscapinginc]

Great video fearless! I had the same problem. When I did my custom tractor I went to like 7 dif places for diamond sheeting and it cost me $40!!! I can't believe you paid $11 u got luckey man! If you don't mind making a review on your Lincoln electric welder. I really enjoy welding and would love to see you welder! If you can thx. Keep it up with this kart ! She's comming together real nice. WhT color r u going to paint her?

[Kornnmaster]

You did an excellent job on the exhaust and the diamond plate guards. I wouldn't have done anything different. Once concern I have is the harshness of the ride due to the small diameter tires and the amount of unsprung weight. You may find it necessary to install a bar spring like a Ford 8N seat spring or something similar to the pan seat to spring your bodyweight and greatly improve comfort though it would raise your center of gravity a little.

[Fearlessfront]

@Kornnmaster this will be mostly for paved surfaces and lawn, I may replace the seat with a padded one if the ride is too harsh

[MrChuckierogers]

i love you videos i have been watching them for some time when i start my off road mower i will put some videos up and see if i cant get some helpful tips from you. the racing mower is awsome i love the way you have it set up keep up the good work....p.s. when will the next mudding video be?

[Fearlessfront]

@MrChuckierogers not sure, it's winter here right now

[MrChuckierogers]

@Fearlessfront lol yeah here to i am looking for a mower but dont really know what to look for any ideas?

[streetlegalkarts]

@MrChuckierogers I just started a new build on what seems to be a very rare yard king. (w/Fearlessfront) all you need is a riding lawn mower. I highly recomend you find somthing made by Murray Corp. They built their trators tuff. And the pulley setups are easy to work on. how ever steer clear of MTD's. that double pulley shit is just a headache. good luck can't wait to see what you come up with.

[xboxisbetta]

Fearless! Please do some more jeep videos. Of the trails you ride

[D3M0Ngaming11]

Nice kart so far dude!

[JustJoshinY]

Train horns. Definitely needs train horns.

[Fatmankad]

Amazing work lol a lot better than what I'm capable of lol

[buggydude3]

thats a nice exhaust man, looks factory. lookin good, cant wait to see it painted and you rippin on it

[Mrengineerwannabe1]

Should find a dirt bike tach. keep track off all those revs.

[NicksGarageDoor]

If you ever run into another problem like that again where you need to mark something with no room, here is what you can do to save time. I'll use the guards as an example. Brush on some yellow or a bright neon colored paint around the holes and push the diamond plate against it. Then make your mark with the marker and drill it out. Boom. Done. She's coming along great so far!

[kizzmyace007]

i messed up!!!!! dont stop wat ur doing

[kizzmyace007]

ya i think he dose a good job at doing wat he dose hes like me but im my own kind of guy do wat i like 2 do not wat other people want me 2 do im 17 and i think if he wants 2 do mowers and that by GOD let him do it and stop hating him 4 wat he dose if u dont like it then leave and dont watch it if it BOTHERS U THAT BAD sorry fearless 4 all that but i dont like people that cant keep there mouths shut and mind there own business but ya like i said ur doing a good job 4 wat u do stop wat ur doing.

[BlueManO45O]

put a better sit

[doscooby76]

Fearless the belt needs as much air as possible to keep it cool that's why they never completely cover them, Belts will overheat and slip like it does on Artic cats so keep that belt uncovered as much as possible!!! also you need to put some wrap on that exhaust or put aluminum/ copper heat sinks on it to absorb heat that hood with the heat off the exhaust will fry that top end on that motor!!! Not to mention you crotch lol!!!!

[doscooby76]

I'm tired of people thinking I'm weird for not sitting in the house playing video games all day.. you All need to get a life and let fearless entertain us...I love the crawler man!!! I took my of 4c wheeler apart and built me a craftsman crawler.. they are cheaper to repair when broken...

[doscooby76]

I wish you people who don't like this stuff would mind you business.. We love fabricating metal in our back yards... There is nothing like having something built with your own 2 hands. So, please don't discourage fearless or anyone else for using their spare time to explore their talents!!!

[baldeaglebmx]

run high lights and leds

[baldeaglebmx]

paint it orange

[MowMachineBuilds]

@ fearlessfront im sure you know wether or not it needs a bumper

[kizzmyace007]

well i like what u do with the mowers but how can u spend that much time on them and how long did u first start on them im 17 i know a little bit about mowers but how much dose it cost 2 get all the parts and gas and that stuff and do they really have mower racing as a sport ??? just let me know im all ways checking youtube 4 more up dates

[kinkfreebird96]

kool update video!!!!!!!

[SERIOUSMUDDING]

on the pip i would put a heat gard on it kinda like whats on a ak47 to keep from burning ur hands if tuotched but only it would b for your legs an hers a vew more ideas build a back plat to surround the sproket and chain incas of mud or rain to help keep from rust issues and with the pip cut a piece out for it to barrly run out the back. an the last idea i got for you is take ur pipe cut a v in the tip and cum in with tow pipes an make a dual tip exast for it that would look fuckn cool as hell

[fattypipemuarry]

on your diamond plate take a bigger drill bit in your bolt holes an sorta tapper them but be careful

[tommybuddy69]

you should put a twin exhaust tip on the end of the pipe that would look sick!!!!!!!!

[andysthefordman]

when u say u " beat ur mower" how the hell do you beat it when it sits in ur garage? grow up and get a truck like a normal boy your age

[Fearlessfront]

@andysthefordman I have a lifted jeep... does that count?

And I "beat my mower" in the snow about 2 weeks ago...

haha, see, I do "normal" things!

[SuperMustang75]

@Fearlessfront tht was pretty good man it dont mater how old you are mowers r fun i got a 1995 f150 5.0 and a 1989 airens yt1138 stock tractor pull reply back to me with your email and ill send u some pics of the build <<< i spend 300 on a paint job for it

[XThreeSixtyModz]

@andysthefordman YOU HAVE A VIDEO OF "My Racing Mower.. blah blah"...

HOW are you going to dog on fearless front?!?!!?

[Bunkers101]

@andysthefordman Ur mad cause you can't do what he's doing.

[andysthefordman]

@Bunkers101 yea hmm i cant do what hes doing cuz i dont have time to piss around in my grandmas garage and build racing mowers

[redzz02]

@andysthefordman your stupid

[brodie1709]

You should invest in a plasma cutter, expensive but so much easier than a grinder.

[snowboarderman37]

already wanna see the next update... great job keep doing what youre doing

[megmow7]

you need to put a piece of diamond over the belt just incase that thing decides to blow up so you might want to think about that.

[jackduup]

awesome

[mattstmaxx]

You should put fenders on it?

[chevroletbuick1]

hey thanks for the shout out! Hope you like the stuff!

[Fearlessfront]

@chevroletbuick1 Thanks buddy, it should come in handy!

[andrew07kelly]

that exhaust is going to sound nice

[darkseed1010]

Other people have said it but exhaust wrap should be applied for safety. I also think a few decals or a racing stripe would look awesome. But all of that is finish work.

[Mr4x4mudder]

the exhaust looks cool but your nuts might get bit warm lol

[thezack2015]

looks great dual exhaust would look amazing but looks really good

[FastClones]

make a diamond plate chain guard, let me know when ur gona do stuff to the engine. cuz i seen this video where you can just drill the jets. ill have to find it, if not just go the affordablegokartparts and get a number 90 main jet and if you want more power get the GX140 Emulsion Tube with is another simple mod

[Fearlessfront]

@FastClones I've been looking at the "u build it" yellow clone from bmi, it's $209 and it has a bunch of stuff it comes with. cam, fuel pump, carb, forged shaft, top plate, ect..... thinkin about it... or I might invest in this one, not sure yet.

[FastClones]

@Fearlessfront well im thinking that if you wanted to it would be cheaper to build the clone you have now, stick 200 bucks into that and make more tq and hp. like that cam is only 50 bucks, springs are 4 bucks each. bored carb is 85, but for 85 you can get the 22mm Mikuni which is way better. anything more than that you'd have to get billet rod and flywheel, which the billet flywheel and rod is where i would start. ill pm you a good starter kit

[TheBackyardMechanics]

Love this racing mowing building vids! i would paint the frame black and the cab blue that would look sweet and some kind of awesome stickers on the side, cant wait to see it going!

[Ub3rGam3rz]

like u might have seen in other comments u need some exaust wrap and maby some heat wrap to put under your seat or by your legs.

[TheGreasemonkey34]

That exhaust looks pretty awesome dude!!

[GrandCaravanSE]

Heat shield for your nuts probably a good idea.

[kale9898]

for paint you should do bright floresent colors like neon yellow and orange.

[dottiestoltzfus]

the onley thing is yer nuts might get a little toasty haha

[JimmyFarina97]

Nice! Why not put a small heat shield on that curved part of the exhaust? Just a little something to keep your leg from touching it.

[MowingForLife]

you should make a muffler gaurd with some of that left over diamond plate.. 

[VModselectronics]

you should get the chain guard rechromed and i would wrap the exhaust with dei exhaust wrap im doing that to my atv and dirt bike cause my legs always get burnt ur legs and ass are going to get burnt plus it looks cool if u wanted to just stop the wrap at the hanger so that u can still have the straight pipe look out the back.

Vince

[schark30]

hey man i think u should wrap the muffler pipe in header wrap i think that would look cool an realy racey as well keep yur leg from tuching it some how but header wrap would look bitchen wrap it from the mottor to like lil bit under the seat

[JDeckin1296]

@schark30 Yes, this is a a good idea. Wrap the exhaust in header wrap. Would look sick

[smokey1858]

now your ass and leg are gunna burn

[johnclarkeiop97]

It's gonna suck when ur left leg gets burnt by that exhaust.

[MrEagels2]

you need a heat shield for your exhaust in the front by your leg

[roskamate]

r you gunna have a test run before you paint it?

[Fearlessfront]

@roskamate Yes, definetly!

[NWCC08]

Finders and gas tank?

[MrMudbogger4life]

Hey fearless you could always use that tank he sent you as a second tank

[V8Mike93]

wow really expensive were youre at i live in a industrial town and i can get a piece of diamond plate that size for $5.85. If ya do some research on your area you will find a metal dealer.

[Fearlessfront]

@V8Mike93 yeah, that was the cheapest place I can go... and thats after driving for almost an hour

[jasonmushersee]

Next time use some chewing gum on back of the diamond plate to locate those mount holes. When do you think this project will be done?

[meoff1969]

I think u should re crome the chane gard and exast

[SkidmoreRacing]

this stuff makes me want to build another mower !

[Fearlessfront]

@SkidmoreRacing I like building more then I do riding!

[demoman89]

dont knock down the welds it weakins the frame

[cjsautomotives]

You should definitely put a front bumper on it at least to protect the frame. It would probably also be a good idea to have the bumper protect the wheels so you don't break your tie rod like I keep doing on my mud mower. The only downside to that is it would look funny.

[danirose74]

Paint it the same blue as before but with matt black and chrome

[kolbycheek12]

fearless what is your adress i have something i dont need and u might but u will find something and i am cleaning out the garage

[kolbycheek12]

good vid fearless almost there cant wait to c what it can do
