I almost got into this. Got as far as buying a mid-engine '72 Mustang. Had solid tires! Frame was about as stiff as an empty paper towel roll. I figured the mid engine would be trick. Blade mounted to crank. Deck was bolted to frame. Height adj. was spacers on crank. Tiny mower. Had cyl bored .020 over. Sold it. Probably would have killed myself, anyway. (265 lbs. 6'2") Woulda looked like a monkey playin' w/a football. internationaldave@gmail.com
@SG55OVCam check out "smallengines ca/pulley" The speed is off by alot compared to my lawnmowers but you can get a rough idea of some of the pulley swaps you can do. Just remember the Lower the pulley ratio the more the torque, the higher the pulley ratio the higher the speed. I know someone had lowered the mower, done a pulley swap, done transmission work, smaller tires, etc. to make it to as fast as possible. and ended up getting up to 30mph in 50ft(modified 12hp briggs)
it is possible, i never siad that i went the same speed that these go, all i said was that i used one to cut the lawn, because it gearing is altered it goes faster than a standard one, so yh it does cut faster and doesnt take long to put blades back on them, so stop criticising u a-hole
Yea the real lawnmower racing is in Ellerbe N.C. about 10 min out of Rockingham N.C. check out the vids on mowmadness Im on the light blue mower with a black helment and white jacket so much fun
and the red neck lawnmower championship of the year goes to trusty rusty #64 congratulations billybob, so what are you going to do with the welfare check you'v just one, well i think im going to put an addition on to my double wide
Just saw a show on how they really make them go super fast..they simply put bigger pistons in them...like race cars..they bore them out. The biggest lawnmower engine I seen so far is a 41 HP and a speed of up to close to 90 mph!!
we completely rebuild them, strengthened, lowered chassis, new gear box, kart brakes new steering and front axle and new pulleys belts and clutches. the engines are exactly the same as a standard mower apart from the fact the govenor is removed...
8tyman8 ur so fucking dumb the reason they r fast is the put a bigger pully on the motor and a smaller pully on the tranny. wow its because the belts r tight lol how dumb r u
I Reved my mower up to bout 12 to 15 hp. it is really fast I could beat these son of a guns. I could wip them with my daughter's rat that she caught yesterday in the swamp's. I've got a john deere... what kind do ya'll have? On my wall thingy.
@ashho56 when i built my b-111 i had to build them to some shitty rules saying no chains torque converters or centrifugal clutches so i got stuck with a belt but im glad cause when you burn a clutch thats 50-100 dollars and i totaly agree with you on the gov thing cause if that were possible alot more people would be cuttin grass on a mower going 50
I had an old (70 something) Bolens with an 11 HP B&S on it I wanted to do something like this with but my mom junked it when I went to college... Boo mom! Ill never forgive you for that! lol
Out in front it's the Briggs & Stratton, with the Tecumseh half a length behind, it's anyone's call...WAIT! Out of nowhere it's teh V-twin Harley, taking them both down for the win!
you cant get 50cc motocross engines, you can get them in road bikes and they are all 2 stroke. you can get 4 stroke 125 engines but i wouldnt think they would be powerful enough for a bog mower like that, you need a 250, now that would be real fun!
Does anybody know of any tracks/clubs near the south west? (england) I really want to get into this but obviously, if there's nowhere to race within a reasonable distance..
nice!!!
