Like they all say, Chad. “It’s gonna get worse before it gets better”. Those breaks just need to be like on both sides and maybe that’ll help. I might buy you one for the channel

[@Tampaboys]

That break works really good I got to see it I’m action I feel spoiled over here great job chud that’s some great fab work bud

[@GamesToolsAndCools]

Why don’t you put a v twin on there

[@harrymcclellan1589]

I think that was smart the way you use the deck riser as a break

[@chud327]

That is what I was thinking too. On my John Deere, it became the shifter. I wonder what it will become next time... Thanks for watching.

You probably dont care at all but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.

@Zakai Kamdyn instablaster :)

[@zakaikamdyn2172]

@Travis Jude i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@zakaikamdyn2172]

@Travis Jude it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@victorviking7132]

I'm planning on installing hydraulic disc brakes on my mower and this really helped, seeing how you mounted your brake has given me so great ideas. Interesting idea with the deck high adjuster and your brake handle, on my mower I was planning on using the blade engagement as my handbrake and the hydraulic brake lever somewhere else.

[@zacharymartini9472]

Very clever use of the deck height adjuster I'll have to keep that in mind

[@chud327]

yes, it wasn't being used for anything else... thanks for watching.

[@jerryb1234]

I think it needs one for the other side to get the stopping power you want, great video, thanks for sharing.

[@taylorpillow2800]

Great idea with those brakes. Once I start work on my kubota t1760 I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

[@starpuss]

*Thought you where going to cut the box open with the table saw LOL!!!*

[@jennyeisenga7866]

Same

[@rickems8863]

I third the notion

[@jitterbug2065]

You making me nervous with that saw blade poking up on that table... 😳

[@coganwatts7054]

Same😂

[@josiahw3219]

Great video man thanks for sharing I love all your videos. Hopefully if I can find a free mower I'm going to make my first mud mower. You have given me some great ideas thanks again for sharing God Bless yall stay safe 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@starpuss]

Why did you not weld the brake hub right to the wheel hub? Not worried that the weld will weaken the harden shaft?

[@chud327]

I didn't think of that and I only did tack welds, hopefully it will be ok and thanks for watching.

[@AllAlaskan907]

I just stumbled onto this video. I was thinking of doing the same thing on my build eventually. Now I know, discs on both sides lol.

[@chud327]

Yes, I recommend discs for both sides. Thanks for watching

[@jam8380]

Me and my dad made some Hobbes for my lawn mower and it's like tractor type style tires but they're tall and skinny and while on lawn mower goes about 15 miles an hour he used to go 12 and I have a 3 inch pulley on the back

[@PartsPieces]

Im trying that disc brake eventually👍. You need to bring the Colonel Craftsman on the next ride👍

[@chud327]

That would be cool! I will plan on it. If I get my truck going, I will try to bring 4 mowers.

[@PartsPieces]

Heck yeah👍. That would be cool too, it would be a mud mower extravaganza! Wait until you see my new project. Im bringing it to the river on the next trip. Heck, thats one of the reason's why im building it, lol👍

Good job.

[@that_crankytf9571]

Nice would love to see you install a atv winch.

[@chud327]

I installed one on my John Deere about a year ago. Do you mean on the Poulan? Thanks for watching.

[@Nfitz04]

One on the poulan would be cool

[@that_crankytf9571]

@@chud327 Yeah the poulan.

[@acrobatic_beef]

I don't suppose you could send me a 5 or 6 speed axle. I need one to swap out the FNR axle on my Troy Bilt.

[@chud327]

Sorry, I have none to spare, but thanks so much for watching!

[@MrThomasfouraker]

Good engineering to get that to adapt. Would be interested in seeing if clearance would allow that disc to be mounted to the pinion pulley to serve as a pinion brake to both rear wheels.

[@chud327]

That would be cool, would probably have to extend the shaft. Would be a good idea for a lift in the rear mower... thanks for watching.

[@rollingcoalentertainment6972]

nice video

[@kevineleven5610]

Could try a bigger piston or similar for more brakepad area on the disc.

[@twiztedmowers2]

You can turn that black lever on the brake around.

[@twiztedmowers2]

Need to move that brake bracket further out so that caliper dont slide off the bracket.

[@krowbar23]

AWESOME VW. 😅😅😅

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching and for multiple comments!!

[@spudstudios3342]

There is no way this is already 2 years old

[@chud327]

Time sure flies, thanks for watching.

[@caderadish9031]

Not to keep bothering you but I have 3/4 axle I don’t know what one to get, and where and how much were your tires size too

[@chud327]

Gopowersport.com should be able to help with the hubs. I think the tires are 26 or 27 inch tall, found them on marketplace.

[@JordanHaisley]

I think I may do this with independent controls instead of locking the diff.

[@chud327]

Good plan and thanks for watching

[@rickems8863]

why didn't you just weld the disk brake hub to the wheel hub . it would have been 100 percent serviceable. Disks on both sides would be great. prevent it from diving to the left on hard braking , unless you weld up the diff.

[@mtdracer69]

That's awesome!! What size of welding wire?

[@chud327]

I think .035, but that is from memory and I am new to the art of wire welding. thanks for watching.

[@billycolwell4263]

I quit using the little clips just drill a hole in the slot and cotter pin it. I put hydraulic foot brake from Chinese quad mounter rotor on the original little disc just flipped it around for clearance thought it might snap the shaft but sofar so good been running 26s off of Polaris ranger.

[@chud327]

Good tips and thanks for watching

[@521farmer]

Wow Ok thinkin ya Got this But I wood put on Both sides just sayin so things Don't Break that's Just me The Hand Break is cooool Idea Thanks For Sharin is it Still working ? it's 2022 so Just askin ? P.s what did the Kit Cost yA ?

[@chud327]

You would have to check the website, they gave it to me to try out. It would be much better with 2 and thanks for watching.

[@caderadish9031]

What is the adapter that you used from the shaft to put on atv tires

[@chud327]

I have used to different types for mower. These came from gopowersports.com and I also did some homemade ones. Gopowersports.com may give you a discount if you use "chud327" when you buy them. Thanks for watching.

[@davidhayes8699]

Hey chud what kit did u get because i cant find it on go power sports

[@chud327]

If you call them they should be able to help. It is for a 3/4 inch axle with a keyway. Be sure to tell them chud327 sent you, they may give a discount. Thanks for watching!!

[@lhock9998]

I think you need dual disc and make it on a foot pedal..

[@caderadish9031]

What’s the exact hub you got off of go power sports, what front wheels you get

[@chud327]

I don't know the part number, but they are for 3/4 inch shafts with key ways. Sales man could probably help you with a part number. Say the one "chud327" used. For front wheels I like troy bilt rear wheels drilled out with a 3/4 inch bit. Thanks for watching!!

[@cartermiller9284]

You could probably make one of those hubs out of a old mower wheel

[@chud327]

You could and thanks for watching.

[@caderadish9031]

How much did it all cost

[@chud327]

you would have to check their website at gopowersports.com, they actually sent if to me to make the video. thanks for watching.

[@michaelbenoit248]

I’ll bet is faster with the larger wheels, the only other issue is that you just sacrificed the turning speed & torque of smaller tires.

[@chud327]

It is faster, I hit 28 mph! It still has good torque in first gear and thanks for watching.

[@Viccruiserer]

why didn't you weld it to the hub insead of the axle shaft?, good work anyway..
