@V8Mike93 ok thanks but i was goin to use your pulley sizes on mine but what pulley should i change to get a little more speed out of it

[V8Mike93]

@musician1232 6 on motor 4 1/2 on tranny. The front one.

[MrDtpdtp]

how did u lower the back?



[MowerStompin]

@MrDtpdtp You channel it out. So say cut a 4" square out of the frame where the transaxle goes, then make your brackets and your good to go. Go check is chassis video, the latest one. It will explain it if you haven't seen it. He did it for you :D

[wastelandprovince]

[V8Mike93]

@wastelandprovince Arc Racing

[ismokewead420]

[V8Mike93]

@turtle2448thomas also go to grasscar.us for race photos and videos and information on how to start racing.

[V8Mike93]

@bytmeh thank you for your comment the wheels shown in the beginning are what came with the mower i CHANGED THEM TO 13X650-6 FRONT TURF SAVERS WHICH ARE THE SAME SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS. Have a nice day.

[Fulmergm1]

Not cleaned your jet need tuning for smooth throttle response

[V8Mike93]

@Fulmergm1 it has plenty come see and hear it for your self

[Fulmergm1]

Needs a serious carb tuning

[V8Mike93]

@Fulmergm1 i dont see why the carb has been cleaned and its a governed class.

[Fulmergm1]

You would get better throttle response out of a Briggs then that toro

[V8Mike93]

@Fulmergm1 that is abriggs and stratton motor a 95 it only says toro because that motor came off a toro also this motor has been replaced by a 16hp ohv briggs pressure lubercated

[1darron1]

lol love it

[redneckbryon]

How fast dues it go?

[V8Mike93]

@redneckbryon this is a national class its governed to 3650 rpms and geared 8 to 1 so about 24mph

[teamwavelengthz]

why you not take the deck off?

[V8Mike93]

@teamwavelengthz the lawn mower deck is removed BUT in my class you have to run a Simulated deck so i CUT the original deck off and welded SMALL halfs to the sides there also good to keep guys off of ya when racing.

[V8Mike93]

@TheMowerdude Well lets see a video or a picture and if you want me to bring facts into it go to HeyMow . com and most all super stocks and highly modified mowers run transaxles obviously you have never seen out side your back yard. Running a 700 with a cart axle is a extra but if you dont have that then you use a lawn mower transaxle simple as that

[TheMowerdude]

GREAT BUILD DUDE BUT ITS NOT TECHNACALLY A RACE MOWER BECAuse its not chain drive

[V8Mike93]

@TheMowerdude Technically it IS some of the fastest mowers in the WORLD use Transaxles and i have another mower that is chain drive it makes NO difference but it is a Racing Mower Has Thether Custom Clutch Locked Differential with Ratio swapped Gears and where is your mower??? that you Race Regularly at National Events HUMMM??!!!!!

[Fearlessfront]

mst-205 is what I have in the murray, bullet proof if you ask me

Nice build!

[V8Mike93]

@Fearlessfront yep really good transaxle i replaced the metal coated gears with steel which i heat treated in a fire then when it was red hot i placed it in a pot full of oil to cool it instantly.

[Fearlessfront]

@V8Mike93 damn.. hardening your own steel? thats hardcore! lol!
