Race Mower Murray Build part 2

[@sothernborn1]

Look on market place for cars parting out and get you some cheap metal for skid plates and other accessories. You can also look 4 go cart parts to fix the tow on your front tires . They also have spring loaded spindles where your wheel mount on another excellent idea. Also you could mount rear go kart shocks on your rear axel to frame .. you could replace that belt drive cog for a juggernaut to sprocket set up instead of the current clutch system your using . Just some ideas for ya . And good luck .

Great problem solving, engineering and fab work! Most impressive!!

[@Dikkensyder]

Tip for welding. Push, don't pull. Tip for bending steel. Heat it til it glows red hot. 👍 Hope this helps! Nice mower btw. Looks bad ass!

[@dzleeyt]

for race mowers, i always use some 10w40 or similar viscosity hydraulic fluid. that grease will slowly expand, then burn with speed and time. one of my old poulan race mowers is still being used almost 14 years now, won a race and had a top speed of 52. good luck and i know yall are having fun!

[@ICEgarage]

He was talking about it leaking out the shaft, does that happen with yours? If so what do you do about it?

[@forst-lr]

Nice build alredy Igot also some murrays that I want to build into a mud mover.👍

[@danielreid3469]

this inspired me to start working on my john Deere 111 build again, always love your vids!

[@LordHolley]

I love it! So when are you gonna go the other direction? you know, lifted, 4wd riding lawn mower!!! lol.

[@mycustomgokart]

I have an extra 108 for that exact reason

[@LordHolley]

@@mycustomgokart awesome!!!

[@thyubernoob]

Its nice to some young ones out building fun toys, hope your channel continues to grow..😎👍

[@indiahunter9977]

Oh wow, that’s a sweet lil mower you got there.

[@ShaneRogers-b1t]

I am really impressed. Like really really. Yall did a phenomenal job . Especially with what little tools you have. Man fricken awesome job on the mower and with the video production. That's all the way around, bad ass.

[@jessebrown9046]

Looks awesome bud! I'm building a slammed yt ford LM, I made spindles like the ones you made, I'm using the old opposed twin with a 30 VM carb and open header straight pipes, louder then a bitch

[@wldmcmullen]

Nice job guys becareful using a impact to start a motor like that I snapped off the nut holding the flywheel of a John deer doing the same thing!

[@James14-]

Love ur videos. Keep making more ❤

[@SemionYT]

I also have one and also want to customize it you did it. You also gave my some Ideas how to do some of the Things. Thx ❤. Keep making videos ❤

[@boaztimmerman7105]

Can you make a turbo on the lawn mower❤

[@Konadawg99]

Nice work guys. I would have probably packed those shaft bushings with grease during assembly. Seems like a high wear part.

[@edminas3159]

Nice work gentlemen, From the looks of things you must live in Michigan

[@TurbosandTunes]

@mycustomgokart ik you probably don't care but for body work you use tac welds and spread them out so i doesn't warp as much

[@Calebfriis25]

Looks great, you seemed to have got the bolts on the rear axles straight

[@manicmods]

12 HP - She's gonna scream when dialed in!

[@MrClickbang357]

might I make a suggestion in 2 words: Deadman's Switch!!! NEat build!!!!!

[@FireNinja7365]

looks awesome

[@LaBrouetteSP]

Good work bro i like it ✌🏻

[@eddiestevenson-kaatsch6306]

Try heavy tractor gear-oil, the stuff that goes into vintage tractors. It's very syrupy, but still has some flow, plus it will stay in the box. You only need enough lube to get at least one of the lowest, smallest gears to touch the surface and drag it into the system. Too much and you're creating drag that turns engine power into heat while losing it for forward motion.

[@richardhead3211]

looks good

[@that_kidstevie]

you should make a video of you fabricating a 212 onto a dirt bike frame

[@jorgegonzales878]

Can't wait for part 3

[@Tune.Up.Techie.]

looking good

[@rodneyzirpolo]

she's a beauty

[@explodedchain]

so cool man!

[@guillaumemartel007]

Nice welding❤🎉

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

You Dave from Dirthead Shed to help you bag that thang!

[@jorgegonzales878]

I'm still here waiting for part 3😢

[@indiahunter9977]

Put a turbo on the jd.

[@The_Wood_Bros]

Love it guys!! Got a similar transaxle on a husqvarna mower im building at the moment, just wondering, is it necessary to weld the diff to make it drift? Love the build, keep it up!!

[@mycustomgokart]

No, but it will keep it from only spinning 1 wheel

[@jonathanliang4275]

the goat

[@paulmurray6538]

What about making a pro pulling inspired mini race mower it would be so cool.

[@Dantheman5127]

3 more months till part 3 😅 Jk jk 😂

[@Darth_RevRen]

You can preheat that crack with a torch and mig weld it.

[@3mal22]

So cool

[@92_D1-fitty]

Amazing man, i got the same mower, slightly different but same era, but also did you put your battery under the gas tank? And how big of a battery do you have? Im trying to figure out battery placement and stuff for mine, and also i might use your idea of shifter too because that seems relatively easy to do it that way, love the build.

[@mycustomgokart]

Battery directly under tank, 300cca I believe

[@92_D1-fitty]

@@mycustomgokart alright thank you for letting me know

[@jamesf4405]

23:00 perfect view of their battery setup

[@LaurenGodmer]

Nice

[@ThatOneGuyIsaac]

that thing is awesome! have you done any speed testing on it yet?

[@mycustomgokart]

Not speed tested yet, estimated gearing for around 45ish

[@CooperMundell]

you should put the murray on a tshirt

[@goodtimesgarage]

Hey awesome video been looking forward to it, in the process of doing the same to my Murray mower right now. What did you guys use to re-seal that transaxel?

[@mycustomgokart]

Pretty sure I used gasket maker

[@MacsSpecialitiesProperties]

Sick Tractor!! Where do you buy the pulleys?

[@mycustomgokart]

Ebay or Ace hardware has a good selection

[@arthursanglan1520]

What's the reason that you weld the differentials in the gearbox?

[@mycustomgokart]

So both wheels spin all the time

[@mlloret23]

When you were welding those fenders with the mig , you were traveling the wrong direction. MiG welders are designed to push not pull cause the job of the gas is to shield the weld from impurities.

[@willcapozzi]

When you go downhill it's better to pull if the material can handle the extra heat. The mild slant they had here could have gone either direction.

[@SebastianStrawser]

Get a vtwin so much power

[@OscZip]

Get pt3 out nowwwww

[@jokjuh]

what size pulley you use in front and back?

[@mycustomgokart]

9 to a 3 in the video. Gearing is too tall for the 12hp though, probably going to a 7 or smaller in the front. Or larger engine

[@Cord..]

Why don't you install a mx bike motor at the carts?

[@nickhuebener2167]

Where do you guys find the right torque specs

[@mycustomgokart]

Nothings exact, pretty much just got to know when hand tight is alright vs impact

[@The_white__f150]

hell yeaaaa

[@gordonhamilton90]

Do you have part 1 of you flipping diff?. Im doing a build just now and thats where im at

[@gordonhamilton90]

Trans box**

[@Sam-zc3oe]

Yeah they do

[@jdm4life2774]

7:13 What's the purpose of welding those gears in the trans axle?

[@ajboyd6513]

Thats the differential look up how a dif works if you don't know but by welding it he essentially just lets him spin both tires instead of one

[@GregCronic]

In reality this thing should run 60 to 70 miles per hour easy

[@mesmerian762]

You need some welding gloves man

[@christopherdunson8079]

What model is it ??

[@SemionYT]

It is a Murray 12/36. But I got the Murray 18/46. My Mower have 18hp

[@eziusss]

dont do that to the gearbox. just use 80w90 or 85w140. with that thick red grees axis do not have enouth lube.

[@ykdavid]

Only using half your front tires and you got like 15° of turn ability. Also it's too short, just make it longer.

[@parole2015]

I'll save all the work and buy a go kart

[@Vigilante-k4q]

Why not use a go-kart steering setup.

[@mycustomgokart]

The motor is in the way

[@GregCronic]

Always these things are limited by gear ratio

[@spudstudios3342]

is that a 7 speed trans??? and dude, use steel pullies, not aluminum! they like to break or shear the keyways. cast iron or steel is best.

[@mycustomgokart]

yes

[@spudstudios3342]

@@mycustomgokart those 7 speeds are stupid rare

[@Swfmco.]

Yo can I have one

[@stevenfan1218]

You can put to much in there..

[@ppar0913]

please learn to make good front end those spindle make my eye bleed and get a v-twin

[@DeidoMan-ni8wd]

Are you able to shift the gears on a ride on while its moving? I thought that'd f*ck up your trans

[@mycustomgokart]

Yes you can, and it does not
