"The way I designed this originally, that it would be accessible very easily" (disassembles the entire back end of the mower) LOL! Just bustin' chops. Keep up the good work. I wish had your resources. I've been working on a mud mower for three years and I don't have it running yet. Marriage life
I wish I was that far in on mine I’ve got a shit gear box and apparently there hard to find manual gearbox’s on Australia 🇦🇺 ❤your work mate keep it up
I have done some of these also and i had the same Problems with the Motor and the Gears and at this Point you can not weld it you need another one. I wish you good Luck from Austria
The only thing I would have done differently is the fenders. I would have rounded them to hug the tires. Front fenders too. Regardless, it still looks awesome.
Only gel cell batterys cN go on there sides. Your battery is going to have exposed plates mounted that way. I don't expect it to last long. But very interesting build.
Hey Jake, I'm building a drift kart and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for what seat I should use, preferably one under a $100. Thank you
hi... me again... about the transmission... in part 2 you said the housing crack because of the gear selector but where is the crack its the differential... gear selector is on the front... mostly sure the housing open again because of the way you weld the gear... those gears are made with metal powder they broke easily and don't realy like to be weld. there is a way to lock the diff with the gear by welding the teeth but i prefer a straight shaft
The initial crack was from assembling the transmission incorrectly. It put too much pressure on a gear, causing the crack. When I tore the transmission out, I discovered that the gears you mentioned, did in fact cause the breakage. We welded the gears together apparently without much penetration. The first crack in the case defiantly did not help, allowing the case to flex.

He said "wouldn't".
I dug this same tractor out of my neighbor's trash after a flood 16 years ago. It mowed my lawn for a few years but this is much cooler.
I really enjoyed the added “elevator / lounge music” …incredible.
Fun stuff….nice upholstery work!!!
This is a very fun build. Glad to see your creativity come to life. Stay blessed 🙌
Sweet man, I love your builds. It has inspired me to build my own racing mower. Keep up the awesome videos!

Always excited for your new vids! Great job to your team. (Seeing a sticker decal in the merch store would be sweet)
I love your guys videos!

You guys nice work 👍🏾💪🏾💯 I've wanting to build me one..
that's a nice transaxle case you've got there! 😯
Swear I seen a bees nest in the carb when doing the throttle cable 😂

swapped engine then transmission explodes. bummer. the stance that thing has is legendary tho. keep up the good work 👏
He's back
How did you all exactly make the brake pedal into a clutch pedal
That's quite unfortunate, but that's the way she goes sometimes. All the broken stuff means upgrades, and it will be better than ever when it's done!
YESSIR WAITNG FOR THIS

That is why I flipped it
You all need body microphone. Love your site
Where did you get the idler pulley and the new transaxle pulley ?

Bucket seat is always the way to go. They hold you in place the best. They do get pricey, best to look for one used.
@@mycustomgokart alright, thank you
I recommend to scrap the flatheads cause they don’t handle stuff like this that well and get an ohv
what colour are you going to paint this thing?
Thinking Cadillac red, as I got a can sitting around
10:03 genius setup fr
Rip the transaxle 😭😭😭
hell yeah

Super maszyna pozdrawiam serdecznie
need to work out how to reupholster that seat with an old carhartt jacket!
How hard is it to build one I'm thinking of doing it
Buy a craftsman it’s easy to lower them and make them fast I’m doing one on my channel
The hand brake could use one more turn. Sorry just my 2 cents.
Sweet build bud
Yessir
600 likes only? Come on guys
Get a turbo on the john deere mower
he would need to refresh that motor, i dont think it would take that much abuse for more than a year.
about time lol
Where you from I might have you a industrial commercial I’d give to ya 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah i soon as i saw you mount the battery sideways i knew it was not going to work, the leak obviously
I am going to make the most goofy edit out of this video!
Update: I have finished the edit.
Come'on guy's...we want to see if this is going to haul ass like olboy' s John deer...
Bummer
No no no do not lay the battery on its side, never ever
A lead acid battery on it's side doesn't leak? HAHAHA
Hot wire to a ground not good
Wow these updates get worse every time it’s a lawnmower bro get that shit together
You're not wrong... Plan is for 1 more video with complete transformation.
