1-handed at 40mph is big balls territory hahaha Probably my favorite mower build I've seen on KZbin, love it!

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching. Very cool comment. BTW, if you watch part 2, it goes even faster and still with one hand.

@chud327 I watched that episode after, so awesome. I've been working on my 1999 Murray 17.5hp and getting the motivation and inspiration from your channel, thanks!

@@chud327 hey i'm tempted to do the same thing, i wanna buy a cheap mower off facebook marketplace or get one from my grandpa and do a pulley swap could i do the same thing you did to fastmowers to a craftmans lt1000? and do you have any tips or things i should know about? thanks a ton in advance

[@H0wdy_H0wdy6]

I love your videos I had a craftsmen LT3000 that was sitting and rotting then I found you videos and now it’s running better than ever thanks to you that thing can’t get stuck with tractor tires on I’m in middle school and some people think it’s weird but I don’t care :)

[@chud327]

I get comments about it being weird or just buy a 4 wheeler, that is just those who don’t understand. Cool that your is running better than ever and thanks for watch. BTW, I have a new mower build video coming out tonight, I hope you will join us at the premiere.

Dang that mower was freaking cooking that’s fast 44 that’s gotta be a record or something

[@chud327]

I have seen others do faster, however, 44 is fast enough for me. Glad I can say it did it, but really don't need to do it again, was a bit sketchy. Thanks so much for watching!

Great video

[@garygrose6351]

Wow that's crazy.

[@VirginiaMaker]

Going above 25mph on that stock front end is way sketchy. I got a mini mower that does 60 if you want me to give you the specs of that front end. Easy to make and handles nice.

[@johnkoury1116]

I agree. I am building a craftsman GT18 and I am planning on stretching it a bit for hill climbing and mudding here in PA. How did you build your front end?

[@VirginiaMaker]

@@johnkoury1116 I built mine off of the mower racing rules in my area. I used a pair of mini quad spindles and built the rest.

[@ryanschjang5793]

Whats a list to make it do the 60 really wanna get in to this me n my friend have a lot of mowers

[@johnkoury1116]

@@VirginiaMaker Awesome. thank you.

[@VirginiaMaker]

@@ryanschjang5793 well depending on the setup you have will depend on how fast you can go. I've seen some transaxles do 50mph + , but it's alot of work. The easiest way is how I did it. It's also safer. Live axle. I used one from a quad. I'd had the gear ring, disk brakes, and bearings to spin on. If you want to use the stock engine you need a transmission that will take a vertical belt and give you a horizontal output chain. Or an easier way is useba horizontal shaft engine (harbor freight 212cc) gokart clutch a long chain. As for the front end, look up some mower racing front ends , or if your adventurous and good with a welder you can make one. Again look up racing rules. They did all the R&D for us to make it safe. You can also find many KZbin videos on all this. 60 is easy to do on something so small and light. That being said, it's sketchy as hell being soo open. Good luck and be safe. Wear a helmet.

[@johnkoury1116]

I found a set of Wooley Boogers that I have to make adapters for the wheels in order to use them on my craftsman. I was at the scrapyard looking for another frame and other parts and I found those tires. I looked beside them and I found a broken Yamaha Trimoto three wheeler and got everything for $50. I have been looking for an inexpensive three wheeler and they do not exist. Are you down in Florida? It alwways looks beautiful. I wanted to build the craftsman for the buildoff but then I got hit on my Harley by an F350 and literally had to learn how to walk again. I am 18 months into recovery so I am trying to get out and start building again.Keep up the great videos.

[@chud327]

Sorry about the accident and yes I am in Florida. A build off would be very cool! Thanks for watching!

You should add an aftermarket carberator and do a governor deletion that would turn it up to a whole another level

Came here from the previous video. How is the torque on it? Does it get up steep hills? Or only good on flat? Thinking of doing something similar

It does fine with torque, plenty when you are in first gear. And plenty of speed when in high gear. Thanks for watching!!

there is no way on earth i would be running 44mph on a mower that's basically stock, at least when it comes to steering and ride height, i don't care how tight the steering is, it's simply to dangerous to run that fast with a stock mower steering setup
