[@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!!!!!!!!!

[@marcusmiller3491]

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

[@stayboosted1966]

i found a honda civic guys

[@ptproductions3582]

Amir Zamoum where ?

[@lukep4339]

It’s a joke

[@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!

[@mikev207]

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

[@1ksubswithoutanyvideoschal213]

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

[@CharlieMack]

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

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@zoenayru]

Oh look a new 2018 Honda

[@mrbubetube]

Chonda

[@PaulsPlace]

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

[@vidili68]

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

[@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.

[@cardudeperson7208]

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

[@eddiefordiii770]

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

[@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.

[@destiniedj]

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

[@mastertek383]

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

[@connor4787]

Will Hammer same

[@gorp27]

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

[@straightpipers2817]

cool invention

[@lastotallyawesomebleach204]

that thing actually moves along pretty well

[@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

[@bugs8484]

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

[@richardgray115]

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

[@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!

[@donstoleon7769]

Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys

[@yiayang27]

What a lovely mower you got there.

[@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!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@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

[@stevenking2980]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@dalesworld1308]

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

[@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 ;]

[@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.

[@Spottswoode]

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

[@jeffyates4813]

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

[@jodyreeder4820]

Do the girls think your tractors sexy? XD

[@johnnycrash8698]

lmao

[@1juanitosully]

She's a beauty no doubt.

[@cawalkabout]

you need to go to school bro, polish off that talent of yours... u got a gift for sure

[@JamesBrown-ey4mt]

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

[@jerryharrison4063]

That is really cool

[@Acoustic_Theory]

You could also call it the "Minnie Driver".

[@sigma1217]

You are an inspiration to all that is man.

[@soldier4christ993]

Great job!

[@destruxandexploze2552]

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

[@tommyjones751]

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

[@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.

[@LUISUPTOMCAT]

You're a genius, congratulations!

[@robott6696]

Your neighbours must love you!

[@thersten]

pretty cool mang. looks dangerous. pretty cool.

[@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

[@IronMan-ml5yi]

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

[@SuperMan-ir2ii]

Solid wheels, an electric motor and is perfect.

[@DARRENWALKERBIGD]

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

[@cristianlugo1927]

dude that is fucking engineering right there!

[@edwizard62]

You should patent that. Genius

[@roberthealy8519]

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

[@PootaurStuff]

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

[@TracTech]

What kind of gearbox did you use? It can't be standard one, because it wouldn't move and hold your weight. We tried it, it brakes. Also the chassis, how come it holds you? It's not meant to hold a person, steel is thin.

[@ckinard2]

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

[@daisykaran5607]

Very good video maybe you can make conversation kits.

[@rdaystrom4540]

That's cool. Good job.

[@edwv2203]

I just thought about HIS IDEA today. I'm going to try it with a battery mower.

[@knighthawk86855]

wow that thing is cool... good job!

[@timgroot4231]

put a turbo on it lol

[@kaushalsharma1699]

Tim Groot. or nos

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Tim Groot no twin turbo

[@brentlee380]

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

[@jumpinjojo]

Definitely Captain of the Nerd Herd!!

[@mikecomelius1347]

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

[@GatorRomeo1018]

So with the wheels break the blade hits the ground while you're sitting on it and the lawn mower quits hopefully no injuries. Put some go-kart tires on it

[@zdw306]

The part you came for, starts at 5:30

[@MrAdrianojujuba]

great machine man

[@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.

[@garng3217]

awesome engineering work!

[@cristinaesparza806]

nice. wish I had your talent

[@paulacourville8636]

ingenious lil bro!

[@streetspeed5386]

Now its a 4 in 1

[@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.

[@thomasrussell7135]

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

[@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

[@andrewhasaname]

How did you get the wheels to turn? was it a differential or a twisted belt or something? I'm attempting a similar project.

[@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.👍

[@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.

[@Ghanem99999]

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

[@clueken13]

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

[@breezzy8428]

How does it move if u have to push it ?

[@dinkchow]

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

[@toddengel5249]

Wow that's really cool and a good idea

[@zlindauer5315]

You need to take a push mower and take the motor off and turn it upside-down to make a cart for behind it!
