[@hotchalupa]

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

[@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

[@kirknelson156]

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

[@rickjohnson2803]

super video.. i'm 75 and find this a fun project going to have to look for self propelled mowers and try to make one

[@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.

[@afuckingostrich7747]

just found this super old video and i loved every single second of it xD

[@bigtexas7580]

That's pretty badass man, DEFINITELY BEATS WALKING!!!!!!!!!

[@CharlieMack]

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

[@marcusmiller3491]

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

[@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!

[@stayboosted1966]

i found a honda civic guys

[@ptproductions3582]

Amir Zamoum where ?

[@lukep4339]

It’s a joke

[@vidili68]

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

[@mikev207]

It's not slow at all for a rider. Cool machine!

[@1ksubswithoutanyvideoschal213]

it’s funny how i saw your comment this early lmao

[@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! :)

[@DylanEggert0812]

I fucking love this bro

[@stevenking2980]

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

[@yiayang27]

What a lovely mower you got there.

[@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.

[@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.

[@joelhill4107]

That is so cool!! You should put it up for auction on ebay and see what it will fetch! I wish I could have done that to the parents mower when I was a kid!!

[@eddiefordiii770]

Great ingenuity 👍🏽 A safety tip over switch would be a good addition 😀

[@zoenayru]

Oh look a new 2018 Honda

[@mrbubetube]

Chonda

[@7272nighthawk]

years ago I seen an old chain drive push mower welded to a trike frame and the chains ran to the wheels looked like it would have worked love your set up

[@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.

[@safetyshaun6994]

Thanks for uploading this. I started welding just over a year ago. This mower is now awesome! I'll give you one idea I would have put some thin plate steel on top of the deck flat on it so your two seat posts would be welded to it. I would hate for the deck to start rusting and operator weight cause a post to break through the deck and hit the moving blade under my arse. Stay safe and inspect often. I just landed here at this video. I like it so much I hit subscribe and will have to look at what else you got here. Keep up the creativity!!!

[@cardudeperson7208]

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

[@gorp27]

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

[@PaulsPlace]

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

[@bugs8484]

I have to give you a thumbs up for the idea. You have a talent that most of us wish for.

[@donstoleon7769]

Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys

[@LUISUPTOMCAT]

You're a genius, congratulations!

[@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.

[@straightpipers2817]

cool invention

[@knighthawk86855]

wow that thing is cool... good job!

[@declanm5088]

Wow, so neat! Thought about trying this.

[@brentlee380]

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

[@Element_one15]

I just finished watching Ted - talk about Antigravity in future technology with nuclear proposal and my God it's in the same field of them. thank you for the video brother.

[@IainHendry]

Great job!

[@mastertek383]

I don't think it would last long if my fat ass was on it

[@connor4787]

Will Hammer same

[@atrix4g4me]

that's awesome man great job!!

[@bobcatwork]

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

[@tommyjones751]

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

[@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!

[@club.Sceniicc]

haha great job! love it!

[@alexcruz2631]

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

[@destruxandexploze2552]

This is hilarious! I love how you used something weird to make a go kart! you gained a sub!

[@MrAdrianojujuba]

great machine man

[@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.👍

[@dalesworld1308]

Nice! Those Murray/MTD rear wheels will have the teeth stripped in short order but very ingenious.

[@lastotallyawesomebleach204]

that thing actually moves along pretty well

[@alssmallengines]

Very cool! I gotta build me one!

[@DARRENWALKERBIGD]

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

[@garng3217]

awesome engineering work!

[@rdaystrom4540]

That's cool. Good job.

[@PootaurStuff]

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

[@stevenpadilla4294]

absolutely love it !!!

[@brandenmoore-dq1kx]

you have earned a subscriber my friend lol keep these coming

[@IronMan-ml5yi]

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

[@northernkentuckyarea501]

i haven't seen this video in years and i still want to build one :) maybe when one of my self propeled lawnmowers breaks down :)

[@lasurvivor47]

Excellent work!

[@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

[@jamesf1302]

I just found one of these old Murray ultras in the trash and want to do this build and was wondering how did you make the steering system

[@JamesBrown-ey4mt]

I love it! That is Awesome! Can you make one for me to use in my business? You are a Genius.

[@richardgray115]

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

[@katesisco]

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

[@johnwade5747]

Kool rigging. I like the friction drive.Theres an informative video at John Wade, you tube called 'go kart steering explained.Including Ackerman theory'

[@GooberClips]

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

[@SuperMan-ir2ii]

Solid wheels, an electric motor and is perfect.

[@thersten]

pretty cool mang. looks dangerous. pretty cool.

[@austinfacemyer7790]

I just built one today and tested it on idle... it worked... tomarrow I will hook up a throttle cable and see if I can get it it to go 30mph with a 6hp toro engine :D

[@mikecomelius1347]

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

[@cathrinroman6017]

Thanks for posting as i have one mower with rear wheel drive. Can it be done on front wheel drives too?

[@wildman6247]

Cathrin Roma could be done just put the steering on the rear like a forklift

[@smartdummy5751]

so you pretty much rewire the "stop lever" mechanism to the pedal right? so that way the spark plug can engage with the armature / alternator when you start the lawnmower. and when you release the pedal the lawnmower mechanically shuts off.

[@Hondarider250]

I love it!!

[@zdw306]

The part you came for, starts at 5:30

[@paulacourville8636]

ingenious lil bro!

[@robott6696]

Your neighbours must love you!

[@jdmarmy2734]

nice honda!!

[@geigertron3000]

i think i know what my next project is!!!! this channel is awesome sauce!

[@tysonp5866]

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

[@jacobtompke8677]

Haha, That's so awesome!!!!

[@sigma1217]

You are an inspiration to all that is man.

[@Ghanem99999]

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

[@jerryharrison4063]

That is really cool

[@jimb874]

The word genius comes to mind🤓 Good job the welding will come in time the great mind you were born with and how you are using it awesom my friend

[@spencer1244]

this is..... Genius haha ;)

[@jumpinjojo]

Definitely Captain of the Nerd Herd!!

[@timgroot4231]

put a turbo on it lol

[@kaushalsharma1699]

Tim Groot. or nos

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Tim Groot no twin turbo

[@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 ;]

[@reypanelo]

thats really cool

[@ckinard2]

this is awesome I want to donate a new set of wheels for you

[@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.

[@jodyreeder4820]

Do the girls think your tractors sexy? XD

[@johnnycrash8698]

lmao

[@nopenerp8563]

Hell, If it works, it works good job man

[@destiniedj]

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

[@wyattandalliesgamesandadve5104]

Now that is super cool

[@streetspeed5386]

Now its a 4 in 1

[@CustomKartsAndMore]

That is fkking cool, lol. i never would of thought you could turn a pushmower into a riding mower untill i seen this shit... hell i would do the same with my self propelled, but its front wheel drive so it probaly dosen't have an axle.. but, all in all. thats awesome bro!

[@randomvidios8397]

cool mower
