First Ride/Burnouts! 670cc Lawn Mower Pt. 4

[@SF-fm7ov]

Takes me back. I am 68 years old and came across your mower video. I had built a motorcycle out of an old, heavy, one speed bicycle with wide tires when I was 16 years old. I pulled an old weed burner engine out of our scrap pile on the farm and adapted it with belts and pulleys to power the thing. It was a vertical shaft engine but I converted it to horizontal somehow, (a small engine mechanic had told me it couldn't be done). I used a piece of wire to run the throttle and it had no brakes. A piece of flat iron with a pulley and a peg for my foot was used to tighten the belt to engage the rear wheel. Everything came form our scrap pile or was hanging on the walls of our old shop. I didn't buy anything. First time out, I was disappointed. I replaced the drive belt with one that fit the pulley groove better that I had found laying around our old shop. After that I was able to do 30+ mph. Wore out a pair of work boot soles dragging my foot for brakes in the first week. My girl friend was there for part of it and we roasted marsh mallows with a torch for a snack. She is now my wife of 46 years. Only regret is that I didn't even take a picture of it. Hearing you guys laugh as you drove around your altered mower was a great reminder that sometimes the most simple things can be the most fun. Do be careful.

Gentlemen. This is your finest creation to date. You should be proud of this one. Please finish it...including paint. It deserves the "all out" treatment.

Hey!!!! Guys... I've been watching y'all's videos from day one. Me and my brothers have done a lot of work projects just like you guys are doing, my brothers are no longer with me now because god decided to take them home. I still try to keep doing projects going when I'm not working in the Saw Mill here on my homestead...in Perry county KY, you guys rock!!!! ... it's like being there with you guys when I'm watching your videos. I've learned a lot from watching you guys work on some of the coolest projects!!!! Keep making them!!!! Thanks guys...

[@El_Chompo]

This is one of the most educational channels on youtube when it comes to fabrication and fitting engines onto chassis. I just like how you show a lot more of the stuff that other channels think is tedious and cut out, so we can see how the actual mechanical work happens and pickup on techniques and such.

[@colerippeon3903]

Look us peerless 700 transmission. It was used on snapper and old toro lawnmowers. They convert the belt into a sprocket that runs back to a live axle. Very common on racing mowers and also give you reverse and 5 forward gears

[@Cheeneysrepair]

Cole Rippeon us racing guys remove the reverse chain and gear on those 700s as well as a few other things if ya try running those with the reverse chain in there your going to have a bad day

[@damionloya4746]

They also tair in to it an charge the gears so you don't blow the transmission up they didn't want to do all they did a great job

[@Cheeneysrepair]

damion loya just the input and bevel gear get changed out for steel gears stock ones are usually powdered steel (junk metal) I’m still using the stock gears in mine, and I run a 21 hp briggs vtwin. So far so good.

[@elijahdecalmer613]

I have one if anyone's interested?

[@albin0m0nkey]

Elijah De Calmer interested but my budget says otherwise. I’m using the stock peerless with welded gears. It’s a work in progress.

Wow. It's the 'Insane-o-mower". Awesome. You fellas were mad riding that out of control thing around so many vehicles. I'm glad you didn't hit anything and no one was hurt. It looked like it would wipe out or roll over at any moment. It was fun to watch. It looked too dangerous and lawn destroying to lap around the GP Circuit. Interested to see it own the drags at Bosco. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats on the 500k. Glad to be a part of it. This is awesome. Keep it up. That thing is gonna scoot. The video labeled pt2 was actually pt3. Count them. This was the 4th video.

[@FireAndGasoline]

That mower is ignorant! I love it, great job.

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Great video and congrats on 500K guys! That old brake assembly is what we called a, "push me pull you" arrangement. Use some blue Loctite on those collar screws to keep them in place. You can also use red Loctite, but it may require using a torch to heat up the collar to remove the screws. Just put some idlers on the chain to keep it from flopping around.

[@grandprismatic]

A chain tensioner and chain guard, once a the chain hits a rock you'll either loose teeth on the sprocket and/or throw the chain. Think about adding some sort of front end glide plate/bump that extend in front of the the wheels... too slide of rocks, ruts, tree stumps & roots.... mainly to prevent from stoving in the front end & too protect the front wheels from clipping a tree. Awesome build look froward to seeing to at Busco Beach

[@Mish93Will]

Perfect home for the 670! Much better than on the dragster, nice work guys that thing rips!

[@cryptonight4860]

Wow,everything really came together in this video a lot better than I expected!..This build is shaping up to be something pretty legendary..I...I hope the frame on the dragster is going to be ok,because over all its a pretty epic build..Maybe the 670 has found a new permanent home & now is the opportunity for the dragster to get a new power plant?.The sound of that built 670 engine sounds like a monster..Once you get this build finished up I think it worthy of a nice custom paint job!..You need some wheelie bars,if that thing hooks up it might not cut grass,but it might skin your a$$!

[@mrimbusyt]

Part 3? Btw Nice video 👍

[@sampinion5796]

That mower is insane! On the note of that transaxel, turn it 90 degrees, slap a diff on both shafts (front and rear)... proper AWD shifter kart. I've wanted to do this for sooo long but dont have the time or money.
