The need for speed. pulley swap for Brians mud mower,

Brian was working on his off road riding mower removing the governor, so while he had it apart we figured it was a good time to go up in size on the front pulley. the back has already been done. then we go on a vw bus cruise with some friends with their maiden voyage 1st drive in 20 years,

[@mustie1]

brians channel here, kzbin.info/door/TT9mT4UQanMH-rGm_ZUB3w

[@donraabe3529]

Mustie1 Brian’s channel doesn’t come up. Says error

[@stanpatterson5033]

type in vwnut 1967 on the search bar while in KZbin

[@HockeyPlayoffRun]

I would say he liked what was done to his mower/racer

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Hyperlink works fine for me, and Subbed. Thanks Brian!

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Widen the stance (longer axles) and you'll be fine. An old '78 Honda Goldwing GL1000 powertrain would fit a mower nicely. eBay always has motorcycle stuff. Parts bike at $300 bid www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Honda-Gold-Wing/332451341711?hash=item4d67a4e58f:g:gcsAAOSwZB9Z-Rnl&vxp=mtr Then might need wheelie bars...

[@grizzlydan8]

I think that the majority of viewers would not realize the skill that it took to do that pully swap. Mustie is a master at making something out of nothing.

[@FirearmFanatik]

skill or right tools for the job?

[@joebriggs9599]

Neighbors must love you.

[@lsswappedcessna]

Well he might fix their cars if they pay him, so yeah.

[@-EC002-]

0:09 OMG! I bloody knew it, Mustie has three hands!

[@MRrwmac]

Glad Brian got it running and even running faster! Nice pulley addition welding!

[@richardwarnock2789]

Mustie that was pullyfantastic no belt slippigedge here made my Sunday funday , plus a baby dino!!! Lol!!!

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Mustie1, Nice fix on that pulley, when one works on this kind of stuff, one realizes how important it is to find center, especially with a chain drive, hope U enjoyed the cruise!

[@doughunt5175]

Love the shot of the vans in the rear view!

[@Evergreen64]

Man. Your neighbors must LOVE you! ;)

[@captainmango1355]

I'll bet the neighbors just LOVE this!

[@jaaasgoed]

From 13 to 18 inches with too much load. That's some upgrade. Nice video as always.

[@johnsampson1096]

Nice shot of Hampton Beach! Three buses in a row!!!

[@aleblanc3547]

Lots of work but definitely worth the results. Thanks, Mustie!!

[@bomackful]

I like the squeaky reptile, perfect sign off!

[@funeralhall2573]

That mower sounds good! Who knew they could sound like A hot rod!

[@TheLittlered1961]

Loved the video. That thing sounds bad ass. Just on thing. Easier to measure the diameter than the circumference. Both give you the same number. Did this when I changed my Jeep tires. Went from 30 inch tires to 33 inch tires. 10% change. This how I figured the gear ratio change I needed.

[@jimmyturner3715]

Nice to see you the wife and the dog out enjoying Lucy for the day

[@tertessa]

Looks alot faster.... awesome vw bus tour

[@vwnut1967]

thank you for all the help sir

[@jacepuddin8312]

I can’t believe I’ve watched your channel since 7k subs I’ve seen almost all of your amazing videos and seen the channel really grow

[@samgilmour7854]

Hey there . I really love your vids. I'm from London England and have watched every you tube post I CAN find... not to be too over the top , but your channel and you inspire me and spark my dislecksik brain into positive thinking with every video... thank you and don't ever stop. Sincerely Sam Gilmour uk

[@papaddeanbovee186]

I have never see that done to a lawn tractor good job. Nice to see that 'VW running down the road,nice country and shore line.

[@altHypothesis]

Muscle Mower! That thing makes a glorious noise

[@Edward-turtle]

What beautiful house overlooking the sea...........

[@megaice1030]

Your channel is so awesome...

[@whoolph]

Nice ride at the end . . . . :) Rog

[@kevinshea4776]

Of course only one headlight works on that mower! Not sure how loud that was without a muffler, I'm sure not Harley loud, but Brian needs to buy a bottle of something for his neighbors after that test run at night! -lol

[@MrHowieZ1973]

The good old Volkswagen Icebox. I had a Vanagen that had a gasoline fired heater in it .It would smoke you out of the van . lol

[@craigmize4395]

Cool vid . Brian is young , at 53 I require shocks on my toys ! My mower beats the crap out of me ! The wife and I are still running our `87 Hondas mine is a 350 rancher 4x4 , hers is a 200 Fourtrax , thousands of hours on them , still run great ! PS her 200 will smoke my rancher !

[@VwRosstorations]

A cold cruise right there...👍

[@jessebrown9046]

You got to love the kohlers, i have a 27hp on my husqvarna mower but im using a vanguard 18 on my old yard pro to rip around on. I have a old Ford, 2 JD,s a roper and 2 husqvarnas sitting around

[@mischef18]

Great all round video bro.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

you made that look easy buddy good job

[@grandprismatic]

DriveShaft Drew Ikr lol

[@zx8401ztv]

It did go faster, but (there always is one) it would have lost some pullaway. He needs a small car gearbox and clutch lol :-D. Good to see others driving the old vw's :-)

[@danielyazbek9910]

hi from Brazil! huge fan

[@paul2466]

You Guys, lol.....nothings quite fast enough, great video

[@mr.jenkinsthebigshit7229]

I love Rt1a heading down to Hampton I miss it now that I live in Fla

[@rixkafer56]

Ive had a couple of vdubs flood after their were warmed up and it was too much fuel pump pressure ...I put more gaskets under the pump flange and it cures the problem... nice to have a fuel pressure gauge to help determine if thats it.. have to check those after market parts !! happy buggin !

[@jakenALABAMA]

you are the bob ross of small engine brother. You cool man.

[@psavel274]

Cool mower. Thing sounds pretty good with the open exhaust. You must live near Portsmouth, cuz that's exactly where you were at on that drive with those other busses. I'm from upstate NY, but I used to go to Portsmouth to Bavarian Autosport for the big BMW show n shine event every year with a whole convoy of us bimmer heads and we definitely used to go on drives through that same exact section. Very nice area and good people. Also pretty cool how the NH liquor stores have exit ramps right off the highway. We don't have anything like that up here. I'd consider even moving out there. Nice place. Keep up the good content sir! Its enjoyable.

[@melchrisrian7957]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family and may God bless you

[@leonmarut917]

very nice scenery at end

[@shakerattleandrollgarage7223]

Cool little mud bogger!

[@carlbarton772]

Yessssss! Amazing video....

[@grandprismatic]

Mustie, gotta luv a box of goodies.

[@Hisart1]

Always like your videos, keep up the good work! KZbin says my browser can't play any known video types so I'll try again tomorrow. I still gave it a like (sight unseen) 'cause you never fail to educate and entertain!

[@Hisart1]

Yep, youtube finally let me watch this video 24+hrs later!

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Great video

[@johnboygordon1192]

THAT SOUNDS AWESOME

[@Motoman714.]

You gatta post more @mustie1 i love you video's

[@eliwilson3937]

Looks solid

[@moht4505]

Hey Mustie, enjoy your video's! Would love to see you build a Chopper using a 20hp v twin mower engine since you like building bikes!

[@allenmckinney9533]

You could use roofing tar on the container. Good thing about those shipping containers is if you do find a hole you can weld it.

[@Zeemike1]

Got to love the VW oorn at the end of this video. But Crusty needs to come out and play sometime too.

[@fixrite11]

very fun looking

[@kevinvt4174]

Hey Mustie, have a happy Thanksgiving.

[@The4050]

You have to build one now you and Brian can go muding. Great videos

[@johnkramer7161]

If I remember right Mustie said he was going to build one.

[@pman1335]

I think their are videos of one he has already

[@johnkramer7161]

Mustie doesn't have one.

[@GeirAndersenRepairs]

Man I just got jealous! I have been searching for weeks for a pulley over here, and no one has anything. Every garage, machine shop, mechanic I've contacted says they throw away those things when they get them... The only thing I've found is possibly a new pulley and taper boss for the nice price of ~$125 😛

[@Z-Ack]

I found some online at oreilleys website for 6$ for 4.5" with 1.5" bore.. 6" for 20..

[@doorguner01]

Nice hardware store😁

[@slashv2]

21:22 you woke up my dog! you need to have a squeaky toy warning next time ;P

[@mjmcomputers]

Now that’s a fast mower

[@dieselman2000]

As mustie clanks the precision measuring device against the stash inventory items...lol

[@raysoutdoors3558]

Nice welding

[@ukmud6218]

Please may we have a tutorial on mowing mud please

[@OldF1000]

Its done very carefully ; )

[@OldF1000]

Oh and it should only be done by trained professionals

[@doorguner01]

Uk Mud 😂😂funny sh!t!

[@johnkramer7161]

The mud mower doesn't have a mower deck. Can't do it ,sorry.

[@aserta]

Reminds me that i have to sort my pulley stash. Went in to get a replacement, left 3 hours later...why can't shops auto sort themselves?

[@emptywalletchevyowner5449]

the mower sounds fast

[@Brandewey]

4:20 weee :D the squeaky toy rofl. youll need to for go the pulley system and do a transmission. theres gotta be something that will attach to it.

[@paulv7217]

Can never have too much load 😁

[@ryanclark7391]

Yesterday I was pulling my cushman gas gxt875, and I was using a lawnmower to pull it and I accidentally flipped it. 😑🤣🤣 I was fine, and my friend said sick wheelie dude.

[@matthewdavies2057]

VWNUT? Love it. And here I thought my 1STGHIA was cool.

[@guyward5137]

Love the red VW

[@andymaurice7693]

Mustie. I am about to do my first VW 1300 seal job. I have a few questions about sealing. Paper seals are included in the kit for block to cylinder and copper rings for the head. I don't know what should I use. Some channels say not to use anything to seal the engine. What do you recomend?? Also what do you apply to seal the lifter tubes and plastic seals?? Thanks. Andy

[@frerecampbell9291]

Mustie1 is too much, I see but do not believe. He's a small engine repairman. He's an automobile mechanic. He's a welder. Now I see, that he is also a Machinist. What other profession has he got? Amazing !!!

[@throttlebottle5906]

years ago we'd swap the front and rear pulleys from various junk mowers, lots of fiddling to get it how you liked :)

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Little tinkering works a treat

[@C-M-E]

Sounds like a hopped up Indian now! Time for a real gear box. 🔥

[@MrHevyshevy]

Fun stuff

[@jake-mv5oi]

I did the same thing with my mower. unfortunately, I don't have a lathe, so I fired up the mower and ran a zip wheel in a grinder along the weld until it came free. I cut both pulleys off and put the deck pulley in the drive pulley's old position. luckily there was a shoulder on the tube to square it up. with a bit of tapping, I got it to 18 thou and said good enough.

[@MrDillon2029]

Yooo is that a 3 speed with high and low? I’m tryna figure out a good pulley set up for mine but can’t seem to find a good combo? I’m running a 5in up front and 5 in rear and only getting 11-12mph

[@peterlyons2000]

Another great How-to video without all the useless banter/chatter that so often accompanies the How-To guru YT video scene. The cruise scene is testament to that with no human faces, only dog faces. Hey, Hoonigan's -are you listening? Nope.

[@Twin_Flyer]

Any videos of that trike?? Looks like fun!

[@chrisangulo2329]

Hey bud i got a question if u dont mind im working on a budget build i found a riding lawn mower late 70s i cut a hole to mount a push mower engine 6.5 horsepower. Do u think it make any high speed passes ive got it all motor installed with belt pully system still work on but is it possible to get speed from the toro 6.5 push mower engine thank great videos bud

[@richardwhitfield1078]

Nothing wrong with that run out at 8:04. What lathe do you have?

[@willptech7565]

Wish we could race!

[@noelnestor3159]

My dog went bananas at the end when she heard the squeaky toy :)

[@Alpine642]

Do you lose torque when only upgrading the drive pulley to a bigger one ?

[@twocvbloke]

Sounds like a V8 dragster now... :P

[@jaysaw8151]

Nice vws

[@cwmaxfield2000]

Just wondering why you didnt use an indicator gauge and shims on the lathe work.

[@elwoodwatson9906]

Guess I gotta take back all that I said about you using poor Brian for a winch motor , you helped build up his muskles.. don't need no darn spinich . them ther dial calipers aint yor magic hammer did you forget????

[@axeman6560]

Is that the sea or a lake at the end? Beautiful houses over looking the water.

[@MellowYe77ow]

Sea. It's the coast of New Hampshire.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Too much load? nah, not a problem. Something tells me there's going to be a blown engine before the winter is out on his mower :-)

[@Earlybirdgarage]

now I need to build an offroad tractor.

[@hdrk59]

You guys are nuts

[@wesfrazier5822]

Back in the seventies I had a friend that did the same with a lawnmower, cept his had a car battery and c.b.radio

[@davidgambler1591]

Net the neighbors loved the NO muffler

[@gizzo123us]

HEY, I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE!!! RT,1

[@brapppforum]

Isn't that Miller sweet? I love mine.

[@uncle_moose]

An amerikan once stated this, much is good more is better to much is just enough so go BIG

[@derekwalsh4583]

It fits as it should

[@heathersanborn4914]

Shenanigans!
