Briggs & Stratton V8 part 9

[@sancharino4672]

Casually looks over at every man's dream push mower. Just a slight redesign of the crankshaft, ya know. No big deal. Man's a legend.

[@freeman7788]

Hahahahaha

[@petertothpete6518]

YES! The radial push mower! Fantastic build on the V8 Briggs. I know you'll get it sorted out at some point. For now, it runs and sounds great. Your skill set is truly amazing!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

WOW.. that sounds so good ! Great job getting it running after the troubles .. Enjoyed the entire build ..💯👍👍

[@TheMrDarius]

I mean for the flat plane that it is it sounds great. I personally like the sound and bottom end torque from a crossplane but I absolutely love seeing a small engine engineered to a v8 design. I love it

[@beargibson3100]

If you decide to upgrade the clutch, you might consider an older 60s to 70's style cub cadet clutch. An aluminum plate between two steel plates and it functions like an automotive style clutch.

[@junkyardjimmyriversiderecy6722]

We need to call Nick and put it on the dino great job love it and your amazing talent

[@mikellewis2346]

Your an amazing man!! Remind me of my grandfather that's past. He was a tinkering type. It's were I got my love for lawnmower engines. Built my first go-cart from a push mower motor and old rider transmission an axle. Use old bed frame angle iron and bolts for everything. And wood for the motor plate. Lol those were the 90s as a kid for me.

[@Desmouffe]

Yes. very educational. Kids don't get to to these trhings anymore. It's a pity..

[@Iaintwoke]

​@@Desmouffe It's a great pity. If you even thought about building and testing a go cart down the road. The police would be there within five minutes to take it away and crush it. What's happened to the world. Can't play half the games we used to play at school because someone might get hurt. The world has become extremely boring and no fun whatsoever.

[@Desmouffe]

@@Iaintwoke True, but I build my engines in the darkness of my garage and do my testruns anyway. I live in the outback...

[@TheMrDarius]

I’ve gotta say you are a real gem to the small engine community. I’m glad I get to see this kind of stuff because I’ve always thought about it but do not have the machining knowledge or anything like that to be able to do it myself. Garage engineers as a hobby are the real heroes here. Much respect sir

[@Desmouffe]

Thank you very much

[@mrd4032]

Brilliant. Didn't think the temp sensor would work.. But what a fantastic engineering ability you have.

[@Desmouffe]

No, I need a sensor with less mass. My problem is that the alternator is dimensioned to charge a battery and no more. Now I have an electric petrolpump and ignitioncoil so there are not much left for the battery.

[@lelandcarlson1668]

Thanks for the great video! Interesting project for sure. It would be interesting to upgrade the front steering and suspension with rack and pinion, as well as convert the drivetrain to a hydrostatic drive with taller gears. I could see your project winning some lawn tractor races! Great work!

[@Desmouffe]

Some kind of transmission with a prop-shaft would be nice. But I don't think the engine can take a lawn tractor race. It's a fragile piece of machinery..

[@BigRig003]

Why hydrostatic? From my experience, gear driven is the way to go like a peerless 700 or something along those line. I haven't raced mowers for a while

[@chrisparker4821]

You are a legend, never have I ever seen anything done like this.

[@Desmouffe]

Please....

[@terryenyart5838]

He makes it look easy, but what this man did takes a whole lot of skill. Skills I don't believe I'll ever possess. I have mills & lathes, but harder than it looks to turn a crankshaft. Every crankshaft I deal with is ground & a different world.

[@karlalton3170]

I hate gardening but i would never be off that mower 😂😂👍👍👍 Awesome build buddy

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

I'm so glad you're putting some energy into that radial engine! I love that mower

[@JamesCouch777]

You are right on track for one of the fastest mowers on the road. Eat your heart out George Jones!

[@MickeyMishra]

This and Matts Garage has to be 2 of my fav builds to see this year.

[@ramishrambarran3998]

I enjoyed the engineering journey with you. Thank you very much. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@amymoriyama6616]

Brilliant build. I love it. Thank you for your hard work bringing this work of art into reality.

[@deanedeane4318]

Great project build !!! Such a pleasure to watch you do your magic !!! Thankyou and please keep sharing your projects with us!!!!!! 😎

[@dirttdude]

Sir, your V8 is exceptional. I hope that it will earn a place back into your stubborn spot. You want the steering on those toed in a little more, it will stabilize it a lot.

[@Desmouffe]

The linkage to the steering is very simple. I have changed all the plastic bushes to bronze to reduce the play but I maybe should have proper p-ends instead. The project lives on.

[@rsvmaster1604]

Здравствуйте 😊. Двигатель конечно получился шикарный! Дизайн и исполнение на высшем уровне! Просто супер! Вы молодец!!!

[@ReverendFreedom]

Well done!

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

That is running and sounding very nice. Excellent work. Hey it doesn't have to last for a long time time it works and that's a solid starting point.

[@michaelhamilton3778]

Old snowmobile clutch or large household generator clutch. That’s what we ran on our DYI V12 Tecumseh VW.

[@Desmouffe]

Interesting

That is too cool man. A V8 made from Briggs and Stratton engines. Awesome job!!!

[@greggc8088]

Congratulations. Great job. Also, and you may already be aware, that gear box probably will not endure a lot of speed as it uses brass bushings and is packed with thick grease.

[@Desmouffe]

I know. It was the building-process that was fun. Now it's a display-piece.

[@greggc8088]

[@keithammleter3824]

I wouldn't think those 2 computer fans would do enough cooling. The usual centrifugal blades on single cylinder engines push a lot more air.

[@heftyjo2893]

This is awesome! Now it needs a snorkel scoop with flames going down the side.

[@kirknelson156]

great job on that and good choice on motorcycles too, I used to have a 1984 virago 700cc, I still wish I had it, was the best bike I ever drove.

[@miketee2444]

I can tell you have your creation tuned very nicely. How a motor starts and it's low RPM character says everything about it's state. You didn't mess around with this one. My Briggs tricks, right or wrong do help output. Toss the thick head gasket for copper silicone, clean up intake ports but leave a rough texture for atomization. Bore out main jets and toss muffler for plumbing pipe. She will thump like a Harley. Also suck fuel like a V 8.

[@Mr.Avuncular]

Now that your creation is a happy camper🚜❤️❤️ What's next on your agenda ? Absolutely loved seeing you burning up and down the road with a grin on your face! Congratulations my friend Would you ever consider selling one of those Briggs V-8's Probably not with all the time and effort that has been put into it.🤔 Thankyou for sharing your journey with us 👍❤️🙏🙏

[@Desmouffe]

Next will be my 5 cylinder radial engine that needs a new design to the crankshaft. I guess ther will come videos

[@Mr.Avuncular]

@@Desmouffe This should be really interesting 👍❤️🙏

[@redwolfmotovlogsandstuff7302]

Lengthen the frame forward, steer tires past the front of the motor and widen the wheel spacing front and back it'll help with weight distribution and handling. It will how ever increase your turn radius but it will be less of a death trap lol

[@Desmouffe]

Yes, something like that. And another exhaust system and bigger airfilter...

[@robertwest3093]

[@CapeCodCNC]

FYI lawn mower transmissions are NOT meant to shifted while in motion. It WILL self destruct very quickly. Very cool engine!

[@Desmouffe]

I will never do that again. I promise...

[@denny75t]

Gorgeous engine! Now we need a more suitable steering and suspension, at least on the front axle .. and maybe a real brake disc on the rear axle Congratulations for the job!

[@CarsandCats]

You blew my mind with the radial mower!

Very cool design and most impressive build. It has a nice sound to it also. Well done! 👏👏

[@sideshow45]

I think an older cub cadet rear transaxle would be a better match for this. They have aftermarket support for the pulling community so you can buy different gears and actual clutches.

[@jorgennilsson4915]

Lysande, tack för att du visar det här. Kände den där "första-(inte-nödvändigtvis-första)-test-spänningen" i luften!

[@erautosales8673]

It would be really cool if you would turn the mower into a racing mower chassis

[@arthurklos7982]

Just shows that you don’t have to be Einstein to be a genius. Bravo! Few people could pull that off!

[@funkiwikid6106]

Move the front axle forward to the about the front of the motor and tilt it back a couple of degrees for some castor angle. Then you will be looking for more gears to go faster ! The V8 is cool but that radial lawn mower is awesome ! I want one of those.

[@Desmouffe]

You are absolutely right. But the chassie is to weak. After 10 - 15 years work as a lawnmower the vibrations have created cracks all over the chassie. I have welded most of them but new cracks appears. The steel is tired.

[@randall1959]

This is epic 😃👍

[@chrisprobert6]

Looking forward to that😊

[@DatBlueHusky]

you should look into adding a motorcycle transmission out of a harley or something, they have belt driven units which you could easily adapt it

[@nicklitey7820]

That engine is awesome! For pulleys though I would stick with the v pulley as it will grab better and not slip, but maybe add some throw to the clutch assembly if it needs to disengage more. Or go 1/2" difference on one of the pulleys (drive or driven) and change the belt size accordingly. I have routed additional idler pulleys to take up slack, so if I'm having this issue where one belt size is too small and gives no clutch, or one size up is too long and doesn't grab, I just put another idler in the route somewhere to take up a little bit of slack and allow the longer of the 2 sizes to grab.

[@Roger-hq1yt]

Excellent why not!

[@DavidMadeira29]

[@ЕвгенийЗемсков-п6щ]

[@williampugh6699]

[@oantech4252]

Nice job.. You just need to tighten up that steering.. Maybe incorporate a steering box from a small car.

[@bobod830_9]

Awesome. I was just wondering about the radial.

[@MrRossi1805]

You have so impressive skills!

[@acme_tnt8741]

I want to see a straight 6 flathead Kohler. Like those on 1970s cub cadet. You could keep the factory direct drive.

[@fleamine]

Great video, but I recommend putting a bigger pully on the motor to gain a little more speed. The pully on the rear seems correct. I did a racing lawn tractor build 2years ago. Since the motor was a 20HP twin, it had the power to move it, replaced the small engine pully for the biggest diameter pully that would fit without rubbing the frame., then replaced the rear axle pully with the smallest diameter pully. The results were amazing, The tires would spin and kick up rooster tails from the gained power increase. Max speed about 45 MPH.

[@fleamine]

Also You would need to resize your drive belt for such modification 🚦

[@Desmouffe]

I need a better chassie then. I had my heart in my mouth on that last run.

[@albertomoniz9051]

To control your steering a little better ,your front spindles have too much positive camber, add 1/8 inch toe in this will help you some to stop the wobble at high speed going straight on asphalt, adding some caster also wheel make the wheels return to center.

[@kennyclark4510]

Man That Sounds Cool..!

[@mikegraves3673]

Since you do not think the design will last for the vehicle you can make a replica 1965 Volvo 1800e for that engine.

[@seanbatiz6620]

Only other addition that rider needs, is a closed cab with windows &, a nice HEATER! Would be hilarious & awesome at the same time, if it could be modeled to resemble a scaled down version of that classic Minneapolis Moline closed cab tractor/truck… yeah, those were true cream puffs & better than most other folks’ actual pickup trucks of the era

[@cruzerlououtdoors1940]

That’s very cool . I can’t help but wonder about building an old school chopper around that engine
