the TOWMINATOR 3: Rise of the Mowchine!!

[@Tennesseemountainhomestead]

Finally got time to watch this! Holy smokes! When you revved it up in the garage it was torquing the whole tractor. The size of that motor on it reminded me of a funny car! Besides that it’s got some pretty good speed being a hydro! I’m loving the build, the exhaust is cool, the alternator, all it. What a beast that thing is basically ready to go!

[@hotlapgarage]

Thanks again for watching, I have now pulled the trans and am in the process of locking it. I also have to get winches and build the tow boom, coming along though

[@DustyLaman-tz7yr]

That motor looks really good in there. The air filter, and charging set up makes it look like a hot rod V8 from the front. I was as excited as you were when you pulled it back in from your hot lap 😂

[@hotlapgarage]

Thanks, this one is growing on me fast. Thanks for watching

[@redzz02]

The most bad ass hydro build 😎

[@hotlapgarage]

You are too kind to me,..but I'll take that compliment!!!

[@rednecktractors10]

That machine is absolutely sick, im super happy you found a tractor that engine can fit into!

[@hotlapgarage]

Thanks bud, it is slowly becoming a favorite.

[@drewparkinson1120]

I did the same thing for the crankshaft on my genracs it works great and is by far the easiest way

[@hotlapgarage]

It seems to work really good so far

[@geneside0]

Dang that sounds sick, did you get fumes to the face? I like that method of bending the steel for the stater, never seen it done like that. will be handy that front axle is solid, would weigh a fair bit id say. new air filter is massive, looks very nice on it though, gives it that clean look along with the exhaust. I definitely like the front fenders on it compared to without, gives you some nice extra protection as well. nice video and congrats on having it running in such a short amount of time. top job mate 👍

[@hotlapgarage]

Thanks for watching as always. Fumes to the face isn't bad, seems only if the wind is just right in particular direction. The exhaust will stay for now. The next video coming out has some serious hot rodding in it LOL. This was just test riding. As far as getting them going so quickly, I get very impatient even though I plan on taking a long time on a build, I see it sitting there and I can't stand not getting it going. I still have a lot of work, but major hurdle of operation is complete. I still have to lock the trans, winches, rear lift boom and some tool storage.

[@geneside0]

@@hotlapgarage awesome I cant wait for the hot rodding! well after watching a ton of your videos I dare say no matter how impatient you get you will always find something that needs attention so you wont ever be bored lol. I always hear people say hydro trans cant be locked so I'm looking forward to that, I've been building a Bolens ST120 I got from my brother and its hydro and my first build so this is a great build to follow

[@hotlapgarage]

@@geneside0 check out my videos on Ghost, my Wheel Horse hydro. That has a locked trans and it is a killer. I ran that in Redzz02 Top Tractor Challenge this past year and took 5th. I was the first one to ever run a hydro. I was also told numerous times that a hydro cannot be competitive off roading, I have made it my mission to prove people wrong.

[@geneside0]

@@hotlapgarage wow congrats on 5th, ill check that run out after i watch your Ghost build.

[@bassman7lb]

so thats a CH1000, cool motor but flywheel bearing issues,,, i,m a Kohler Generator Tech

[@hotlapgarage]

Well, hopefully not on this one, but if so...it is what it is. This particular motor only has 200hrs on it. So I guess time will tell. Thanks for watching
