Home made mini riding mower 5.5 HP

via KZbin Capture

[@hotchalupa]

I started watching this thinking... This is beyond ridiculous... Watched the whole thing and now I think it is beyond ingenious!

[@kirknelson156]

good job but even more impressive is the wheels and shafts didn't break.

[@knownuser09]

First time i have ever seen a push mover that you don't push..

[@Dreadballoon]

AFTER DARK WTF

[@lindsaymuir9666]

same

[@jaybass9476]

AFTER DARK There called self propelled mowers.

[@mrcow202]

Jay Bass ikr? you dont push it anyway

[@evancoleman7688]

i call them a push mower

[@smallenginedude71]

i thought about doing that a few years ago but thought it would be ridiculous. Glad i found this video of someone who actually bothered to do it :)

[@razmuzen1090]

How the heck it sounds? :DD

[@ARon82]

Cool but it does give you that handicapped look when you go by on it.

[@jgx421]

I've been watching some of your vids over the last week, and you, my friend, are a very talented young man. The shot of you riding this thing, mowing around your lawn was funny. You just earned a subscriber! Keep the vids coming!

[@marcusmiller3491]

Dude, I never comment on youtube videos but I just had to say...Job well done Sir!! That thing is awesome haha!

[@5153john]

Pretty awesome but you do need to tap a hole in the shaft and rotating parts and put in some greases fitting because the metal will wear out fast! And you could buy a pretty nice and cheap seat online to put it on! :)

[@CharlieMack]

Now that is really some backyard engineering! I would be glad to tune that up!

[@rustybones99]

It actually goes a lot faster than I was expecting with your weight on it. And yes, it does look like you're mowing the lawn with an "old man" scooter.

[@DylanEggert0812]

I fucking love this bro

[@candisbrendel7396]

You need to go to school for engineering my friend!! Your a natural, a engineering savant. You would go far if you try. Good welds too, for not knowing how to do it. I teach welding so I know what I am looking at. I am sure your welds look real good now that your use to welding as well. Video. well it is good too!!

[@revmpandora]

+joseph brendel Agreed! Natural talent, bright future!

[@signalsoldier28]

lol just cause he builds this doesnt mean he has a bright future in engineering. Kind of ignorant to say that tbh. This isnt quite what engineering is.

[@robertblackshear8963]

Adrallon Ded It actually is engineering.

[@vidili68]

Hi there Keep on cutting Good job Ride off in the sunset Have a good day 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@zoenayru]

Oh look a new 2018 Honda

[@mrbubetube]

Chonda

[@destiniedj]

The only problem I see with that is there is no where to put a Keystone!! Yeah!!! WeW!!! Great job!!!

[@michaelhartzell9758]

And while other kids are hustling mom and dad for an easier way to mow their yard you go out and do it. Smart kid!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@schutztruppe]

now that's a real American hero!!!!!!! I salute you !! I have an 8600' lot so not bigg enough for an expensive riding mower but still a big larg.

[@richardgray115]

ride it down to the pub for a beer. excellent work

[@donstoleon7769]

Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys

[@Creeperboy099]

Nicely executed; may not have good space and comfort, but it is quite simple for a design. You even kept it all on the push mower deck.

[@gorp27]

That thing is a death trap, but it is one of the coolest contraptions that I have seen put together. Thumbs up!!!

[@jamesrussell7488]

Impressive! A poor man's riding mower! If it works and it seems to do just that just as a traditional riding mower does, who am I to judge. I'm very impressed! I'm not very good at welding either but your ingenious idea seems to work rather well. Awesome job!

[@CRAZYRUSTYVW]

Great video you should medal with the pully sizes and the belt sizes take the Exhaust off and make a new one straight pipe ;] even play with the govnor spring to get bit more revs out of it ;]

[@straightpipers2817]

cool invention

[@cardudeperson7208]

I want to make one out of my dad's old mower! It looks so fun!

[@lastotallyawesomebleach204]

that thing actually moves along pretty well

[@roberthealy8519]

Thats the Greatest thing Ive seen today! Why? Because I can. God Bless the USA.

[@PaulsPlace]

Wow. That's actually pretty cool. Does the drive system still work well then?

[@stevenking2980]

Earned another sub here. I LOVE IT. Freaking awesome!!! Great job in the steering too man . Impressed!!! Steven

[@bobcatwork]

GENIUS!...You should be designing rocket ships or something, very cool video!

[@alexcruz2631]

Thats awesome! I need one like that since I got 10.000 sqf of lawn.

[@1juanitosully]

She's a beauty no doubt.

[@dinkchow]

I believe the term is "BIRDSHIT WELDS".But a great idea.

[@jeffyates4813]

If you look at the old riding mowers of the early 60’s they were not much different than this.

[@Alice-oz6lw]

I love it! I thought about doing the same thing but, I wouldn’t know where to start. I am a creative thinker but, not a creative doer. I have no talent for doing things like that.

[@cristinaesparza806]

nice. wish I had your talent

[@clueken13]

Subscribed outta respect 🫡 I’ve thought of this same thing and wanted to do it 😂 you rock dude!!!

[@jodyreeder4820]

Do the girls think your tractors sexy? XD

[@johnnycrash8698]

lmao

[@timgroot4231]

put a turbo on it lol

[@kaushalsharma1699]

Tim Groot. or nos

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Tim Groot no twin turbo

[@sigma1217]

You are an inspiration to all that is man.

[@thersten]

pretty cool mang. looks dangerous. pretty cool.

[@edwizard62]

You should patent that. Genius

[@Spottswoode]

i went from the big bang theory to home made lawnmowers.....

[@robott6696]

Your neighbours must love you!

[@jerryharrison4063]

That is really cool

[@LUISUPTOMCAT]

You're a genius, congratulations!

[@SuperMan-ir2ii]

Solid wheels, an electric motor and is perfect.

[@tommyjones751]

man I wish I seen this when I was a kid lol! this sure beats walking behind it good job!

[@DJTAZ1996]

great job man! i would suggest you start a mini rider mower business and patent them. use a snapper rear drive self propelled mower instead and turn that into a mini rider. they have steel wheels with ball bearings in them so wont wear out as fast plus has variable speed too. it would be a good business to start and some big riders cant fit where that mower can.

[@lesterdelacruz5088]

Just thought about the same thing. I knew a simple search on youtube somebody already has done it haha.

[@soldier4christ993]

Great job!

[@BigMountianBob]

I tied one of those wheeled seeders onto the back of my 5 hp honda It works great and I don't need to do any welding

[@PootaurStuff]

Brilliant... now I want to mod mine!!!!!!!!!!

[@mowguy1]

I thought no way when I first saw the mower because I have wore out gear boxes on 3 different Honda mowers just pushing them. I am amazed, that's funny.

[@IronMan-ml5yi]

I like it and will make one when I find the proper mower

[@zdw306]

The part you came for, starts at 5:30

[@cristianlugo1927]

dude that is fucking engineering right there!

[@knighthawk86855]

wow that thing is cool... good job!

[@streetspeed5386]

Now its a 4 in 1

[@DARRENWALKERBIGD]

This is how the Seedeater One mower was born lmao....good job man :)

[@thomasrussell7135]

awesome mod, if I had a lawn I would build one

[@mikecomelius1347]

That is one hell of an idea and I say well done buddy

[@Ghanem99999]

thats awesome man i got an old lawnmower i think thats what im gonna do to it

[@LC450ZAXIS]

Nice job but prolly takes a good month and a half to do ur yard

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

It goes the same speed as before....... It wouldn't take any longer than it did with a push mower.

[@toddengel5249]

Wow that's really cool and a good idea

[@rdaystrom4540]

That's cool. Good job.

[@tysonp5866]

you my friend have a talent others dream of...Ingenious

[@MrAdrianojujuba]

great machine man

[@nathanscale]

'i had the same idea n came on youtube to see if someone had made it come to life - you had!

[@JEZPP]

Awesome, not the prettiest but works. its easy to build something with the right resources but its take a little more ingenuity to build something with basic tools and a limited budget.

[@garng3217]

awesome engineering work!

[@brandenmoore-dq1kx]

you have earned a subscriber my friend lol keep these coming

[@dangeroustoys5668]

thats cool! i used to have a really old self propelled push mower with a jackshaft/ sprocket right out the side of the engine, that woulda been cool to mount a straight axle to.👍

[@quickfixstudiomobilegaming9127]

A KZbin channel I watch made a windshield wiper motor into auto shearing with radio controller.it be cool to do same with this so you don't need to ride it.

[@mcconnell51420]

never thought he would get on with the video

[@theantichrist6524]

Man you can bad mouth your work but that was fucking awesome genius level

[@katesisco]

Great! Hoped to see a build like this on Instructibles!! Just what I wanted to see!!

[@paulacourville8636]

ingenious lil bro!

[@69ChevroletNova]

U could ride to town & get a Beer XD if the cops pull ya over well good luck running from them LOL

[@ashboy225]

+69ChevroletNova Cant charge ya for "cutting the grass"

[@MrJames6674]

funny cool thanks for the video that was AEWSOME lol .......

[@Brigsbee]

dude that is pure genius Lol... im not being sarcastic by saying that either I really meen that Lol... good idea man

[@StraightPipeW9]

Pretty Frick'n cool. Wish I woulda thought about that when I had to mow my lawn. I've got kids now so it's much easier to just let them do it. Lol.

[@atrix4g4me]

that's awesome man great job!!

[@hunterwestberry5366]

That’s unique I’ve never seen this before

[@hillbillyhangover]

Hell ya!!!! I want one!!

[@blasebermea3493]

Looks like the exhaust would burn the Hell out of your leg if you weren't paying attention.

[@stevenking2980]

Just like any motorcycle or moped you mean?

[@Daddychill945]

Wow I thought i was the only one doing this

[@ashlyk4652]

stay safe-- good to c u have ear protection.

[@alssmallengines]

Very cool! I gotta build me one!

[@GooberClips]

1:07 I KNEW HE WAS GONNA SAY SKECHY!!!!! called it! xD

[@nopenerp8563]

Hell, If it works, it works good job man

[@robertblackshear8963]

Well done.

[@chelseamarshall7193]

you have some awesome talent you should be an engineer

[@nickieyg3373]

Sweet ride and easy on gas!

[@ShyMiata]

That things loud af for how slow it goes

[@gunnerb47]

Nice ingenuity

[@megacamaro69]

i like it it is fun to make things.

[@reypanelo]

thats really cool

[@brentlee380]

Love it! How do you do this to a regular push mower that doesn't go by itself?

[@gingertimelord5]

when i was MUCH younger i made something similar from an old mower and a big tricycle
