Racing Mower Pt. 5: Even More Speed & Jackshaft
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This week, we add a jackshaft to our racing lawn mower to return the power from the engine to the rear wheels. We also took this opportunity to make the gear ratio taller still, giving it a higher top speed.
Thanks for Watching!

When i sneeze in my house at night my neighbors call the cops for a noise complaint, these guys can drive a super loud racing mower at night and have no problems
You have some pretty bad neighbours
Taylor Sharpless good thing that comment was 3 years ago, i moved out! Time flies
Good
It’s a legal thing you can’t get a noise complaint for a motor vehicle on your property at least in Oregon that ks the law so you can be as loud as you want whenever you want as long as it’s a motor vehicle making the noise
You think it'll finally do 40?
CarsandCameras maybe
CarsandCameras I love your Guy's videos! I'm making my own racing mower because of you guys!
CarsandCameras its just a recomendation, you should make the testing part of the videos in daylight, its very hard to see what is going on in the dark.
it can do 40. love your videos hope you can upload more than twice a week
CarsandCameras "Jacksaft" -the thumbnail of this video
Man, you handled that one inch shaft nicely.. 😂
😹😹😹😹😹
"No brakes... Hey grab a helmet"
Lol
Make sure after watching you head over to Red Beards Garage and check some of my how to videos and go kart videos!!!
Ok
👍
Wow he's gonna come here to steal viewers smh
You guys NEED to get rid of the stock steering setup, they are complete junk. Also make a guard for that pulley, you don't want to get nothing caught in there!
Colepaq
Yea they are weak......
Add some caster to that bad boy too , camber is gonna make it twitchy if ya go to far
That TRACTOR has 2nd gen steering on it & it is the best Stock steering systems out there..
Didn't know that. Still, I prefer to change it out to a direct steering system. Has alot of play by the looks of it. Just personal preference.
Cowgirl 001 I'd beg to differ, I've got a late 80s deutz allis(simplicity)
The cross beam on mine is solid metal,bar stock.
it's like 1/2" thick at least, and not cast
and all I did was lock the pivot, upgrade done.
Those sears need to strengthen the tie rod arm/beam running across, I've seen em fold like pretzels.
Im talking bout Lawn Tractors & Yard Tractors, Not Garden Tractors
You guys gotta do a gas pedal. The TH-camr fearlessfront has a good tutorial on it.
Definitley!
Colepaq yea that hand throttle crap is scary.
I test drove mine after building it with the hand throttle, I survived but I started fabbing a pedal immediately.
Use an old bike brake lever , works great.
please do a throttle pedal
we have a pedal now
Awesome, you guys should get on that steering next
Word of warning: People using cutoff wheels (especially without a guard) get yourself a clear face shield. I've seen them bind, break and imbed half the wheel in a cheek. It's not pretty and it's preventable! If you have an ADF welding hood, they'll work in a pinch.
4gasem yea man I like face shields a lot of times more than glasses.
I had one (cutoff wheel) blow up even with a guard , it tore the crap out of the brown jersey glove I had on(not real protection but for sparks)....like 3 of my fingers were throbbing for an hour cause it was cold in the shop.
No blood but wowowowow it was throbbing
Count yourself lucky! ;) The proper PPE WILL protect you to a point, but common sense is key. :)
MrTheHillfolk cold AND throbbing?!?? wow you're talented...
4gasem I completely agree with that, one time I was using a cut off wheel, I had safetly glasses on and just regular work gloves. the blade exploded when cutting, ripped through my thumb down to the bone, up my chest cutting my shirt and chest, into my cheek and bounced off the safety glasses(thank god). the thumb and my chest didn't hurt horribly, but my face sure did. Face mask always haha
Caleb Peterson and try and work with someone within earshot of you.
I was working in the shop late one night , and add it up to being tired and in a rush, but as I pushed a piece of metal thru a bandsaw I realized I was screwing up just as the piece sliced thru and fell off.
No more pressure on the workpiece and there goes my thumbtip into the blade, a good 1/4" deep to my nail.
It didn't really bleed , but I made it in the shop door to wrap it and sit for a minute. That wasn't good,sitting down, I got all weak and queasy and had to just put my head down on the table for about 45mins, I literally couldn't move enough to grab my phone to call someone to come get me.
Like I said, it barely bled at all maybe a couple drops but it was deep...
I've never broken a bone or anything, sometimes I think I have 9 lives.
Nice jacksaft! (Your thumbnail has a typo)
Cylo's Garage no there’s not
fucking youtube, i have to wait 2 days to see the video without loading
could have just flipped then rearend over. worked along time in my back yard race mower
My name is Michael and I love to watch your videos. I have a offroad go kart of my own and I love to use it. You have taught so many things about go karts and cars. Thank you
thanks for watching
That weed must be soooo good.
Darth Yeti lmao 😂
Darth Yeti john had to be stoned to the bone.
***** Dude i think they might get a little high all the time.
Or they might BE a little high all the time.
Austin Rivers In order to BE high you must first GET high.
Throwing sparks in the dark! Low life or no life! Haha. Also your wheelies for days was the best video you guys ever made.
thanks
"YOUR BOTTOMING OUT ON EVERYTHING DUDE" *yeah I know* 😂😂
That red eg Civic hatchback is nice asf
I’d kill for a clean one like that.
I love how proud he was when he said “power bulge”
When are we gonna see the 670 vs. the Corvette drag race ?
Yall need a gas pedal so it can be easier to drive 😂
that mower looks awesome. i like building like youse guys no plans and on the cheap.
thanks
9:12, anyone that deep in serious thought - while wearing that helmet - has my respect.
Wow..a jackshaft between the legs. No headlights. No brakes. Just realized flipping the pulleys would give it more speed. You guys are good. It'll be fine. 😬
brakes T00......
long time to roll to stop
u guys need to invest in a night camera because u guys do alot of night shoots. All good & keep the great work
Same rear tires on my Crapsman mower. I slimed them and still had to fill them every time i mowed. They finally dry rotted and cracked. I replaced them with the old rear tires off my 1975 Cub Cadet, and still using them to this day. Says a lot about quality nowadays...
Hit GPS up for a set of go-cart turf tires to fit those rims!
are you still using them?
I've said it several times guys direct steering LOL. STOCK will get you KILLED!
That TRACTOR Has 2nd GEN Steering & its the BEST Stock steering System out there..
Yeah for stock speed not bad, On a racing mower NOPE that's a death wish...
It reminds me of the steering on this ragetty mid 80s bolens I have I'm gonna swap it onto my craftsman 2
we left stock steering on my cousins racer mower and it broke i ended up going head on with a propane tank at 40
This video sounded like where I live
Emergency sirens ever 5 minutes lol
Guys ditch the stock headlights and put a 15 inch lightbar there instead ill pay u to do that if i have to u can get a 15 inch lightbar from walmart for 60 bucks and the lights are bright trust me i have to of em on my truck
I learnt this off the tv. If ya don't wanna get "chunks", have a bar of soap with ya and coat your blade on both sides between cuts.
you guys should have a cover on that part between your legs. because it'll hurt if your pants get snag on it lol.
hey guys do you know of any junk yards close to lenoir county nc were you can go and explore for any thing from cars to lawn mowers to gocarts
sorry I dont
Been looking forward to your guys video all day!
what happened to the nice 20 minute videos.
if you got a lot of front end wobble it's most likely due to the front tires not being balanced a lot of racing mowers if your running the stock 15th upfront are not balanced very well.
never laughed so much I service mowers gonna try this some winter night
To reduce the twitchiness you need to toe in the front wheels a LITTLE. Toe out will make it twitchy like that. The distance between the front end of the tires needs to be VERY SLIGHTLY less than the measurement at the same place at the rear of the front tires. On a rear wheel drive car it's about 1/8". On a mower, because the diameter is much smaller, I would shoot for s 1/16" to 1/32" difference.
needs the shifter then maybe around 45 50 mph
check out fearlessfront on youtube he has some good Mower videos
hey now, who doesn't love a lil chunky stuff every now and then?
What is with you two building machines that have rotating parts located between your legs?
you know when they have a big jug of slime there tires are trash
Here's the name I think you should give that mower: No Fscks Given.
you know youre doing something when you buy slime by the gallon.
adjust rear end can't remember if u locked the rear end fix steering put a cage around jack shaft get a shift that works a header would be cool off of a old motor bike not fully baffled
ye could widebody and make it look more slammed just weld extra sheet and its neat. better than cutting wheel arches completely off
How hot do you think the transaxle will be after 5minutes of high speed?
the cops are comin for ya
I saw y'all in lowes the other day
you 2 were so lost today.....lol.....how am i driving maaan?.....i think were parked man..........yay visien!!!
if you remove the steeringwheel you will se a gap that you can "fill up" wich makes the steering more sensetive
you guys should build a shifter kart and also what ever happened to the amphibious go kart build
you guys need a foot throttle it would be way cooler if it had one
Upper should have been chain and sprockets to prevent slippage... overdrive belt setups don't work well at that power level... should do 80 MPH... if 17.5 HP...
Do you have a code from go power sports for a free engine and tires? I'm rebuilding my go cart and it needs an engine, and tires. : ) (But seriously i'm rebuilding my go-cart. What engine do you suggest I get? The go-cart ways 200 pounds.)
Ike, it's been bothering me for a while here so I'll just be outright with it. Between the both of you, I've seen your buddy learn a lot throughout yalls vids. The problem here is it's clear his ego gets in the way with yalls latest videos. Even when you try your hardest to politely approach situations, I can still see him being insecure about his comparison of knowledge. It sucks you have to tip toe around and I'm excusably empathetic because I've been in both his and your shoes.
i had a tractor with a 18hp opposed twin ( with governer) on a basically stock shift on the go murray. up front ran a 8" pulley, on trans i ran a 4" . i had it in 4th of the 6 gears and i was probably in neighborhood of 30 plus mph. being stock steering( unlocked front axle as well) , stock height and no brakes was seriously scetchy. needless to say it was just an experement, and has been disassembled. that thing was scarey fast. id add some gear oil in that trans before it blows up, i did that too in another tractor.👍
Y'all need a plasma cutter. The cheap ones work great for what you're doing. Search Plasma Cutter 50 Amp Dual Voltage Compact Metal Cutter Lotos LT5000D
I would junk out the mower steering, since it is only good (barely) for slow speeds, in favor of a solid steering setup, basically a gokart-esk steering setup. then setup clutch (left) pedal, brake (right) pedal, and throttle (bike brake lever) on the steering wheel as this will give you easier to access controls. And personally I would get rid of the big mower tires in favor of something smaller maybe an 8 inch tire rim combo all the way around, it would improve stability and make some good speed as well.
Hmmm ... A belt guard for the pulley and belt near the family jewels could be made from a sturdy plastic bucket or an old aluminum pot turned upside down and cut out to match the contour of the curved panel that rises up from the chassis to the seat support. A few simple metal brackets or straps to secure it to the existing sheet metal would do the trick. Cheap and quick. Hit it with a bit of spray paint to make it match the rest of the build after you settle on the color scheme and it'll be fine. :-)
don't launch mower so hard. you will destroy the gearbox
A little negative camber is OK (the top of the wheel leaning in towards the centerline of the vehicle) but don't go crazy. Because you have a straight axle and the tires won't roll under a lot, you shouldn't need much to keep the tire's footprint flat when in a hard turn.
use a double sided belt, my mower belt has a really big one that drives a lot of pulleys, so when it flips it will drive normally still, but it could flip too much then, and break. if you can put a big roller chain on it, or silent chain. that's my thoughts, not sure if they'd work.
Direct steering should make it less sketchy, you should be able to find how to direct steer a lawn mower on the ATLTF Forum or if you type in direct steer lawn mower on TH-cam.
1:49 Power Bulge.... LMFAO
New saying for your shirts " If it runs, rolls and kinda steers we ride" brakes, kill switch, full welded heck it's for testing purposes only.
Take that negative camber out and add caster!
With enough caster you would be able to drive it safely with one finger! But it will be a wobbly mess when you back up lol
OK dudes, be safe. This is getting scary and we don't want any of you'uns, to get hurt or nuthin'!! Good brakes are a must and you need some kind of restraint in case you hit something. This is not a go kart. It will catapult you head and face first into whatever it is you hit!!we want to enjoy your videos and antics for a looooong time!!Also, love where this is going. Think long straight paved road with no trees for top end testing purposes only. A front bumper with some kind of impact absorbing, crumple zone, air or hydraulic fluid shock absorbing thingamajig maybe? Looks like 60+mph is possible!!
thanks
who's cadillac is that in the background
I prefer "Fabricobble" for such jobs John.... haha
Dear CarsandCameras crew
i was think in that you sould buy a noter small battery and mount it on the oter side . So you can have one batery for the starter and key and the oter one for lights and acsecerys.Just say it will work better and you will . ot have to charge every time you use it
from me
It is looking nice for a lawn mower but... "Will it do a burnout?!?" -Ike
ive smoked the tire. lol
anybody noticed the police sirenes? xD
yall coulda just flipped the axle and instead of pulley wheels and belts used sprockets and a chain and that would eliminate any future possible problems with belt slippage
Nice to know how to video.. good job on the trans axle alignment with the belt alignment.. here for your support on the videos
since the gears in the transaxle are spinning so fast you should put bar and chain oil in the transaxle,when the gears are spinning that fast they will like weld themselves together and won't move at all.
I suggest getting a mikuni knock off carb. You will get more power, and less dead spots. Ferless did a video on this i belive
I always rewatch the lawnmower videos bring it back or make a whole new one would be sick love the videos
They should get a predator 708 vertical shaft v twin and put that on a new mower
I think for the next project you guys work on should be a T. rex kinda design where there's 1 wheel in the back and 2 in the front
if you guys ever make it out to california i will let you try my shifter kart
sweet
I can picture the filler panels that would close in the tops of the fenders....
make em out of poster board , transfer to sheet metal , cut em out and weld em on ....
I think it looks cool the way the lips wrap around the tires, just fill on the top and rear 4 inches to the center.
kinda too late now but I figured it would give a little better splatter protection.
What u guys should have done is removed the shrouding around the steering column and lowered the wheel then turned the rear diff up side down and made the belt work that way or something else and then cut a slot out for the seat in the fenders!
to fix that belt flip you guys can makeshift a adjustible guide for the front and/or rear. that could help?
If it’s faster in reverse, couldn’t you just flip the rear end or does that work like that in tractors?
If it’s faster in reverse, couldn’t you just flip the rear end or does that work like that in tractors?
Adding caster will help as well. the axle needs to be tilted to the rear some to increase the caster. A lot will make the steering heavy but stable. No or negative caster makes for a wild ride.
This was my inspiration to build my own thank you also I pulley swapped mine and it goes about 20 with the governor still on
Where can you look and see what number subscriber I am. I been with cars and cameras since the beginning awesome videos
Im guessing a stabbed rat is what they do in the Carolinas because in Texas we run like scalded dogs 😂😂😂
Anyone alse notice the typo in the thumbnail pic
I might do this to mine but if the pulleys are good condition could you just swap them? (Stock)
Next is a speed upgrade like a turbo or something to make it very fast like fast so you don't go top speed much
I can't lower it like that the gas tank is under the seat so it going to put 6" gokart wheels and tires and lower it an inch so it would be lowers 3"
should of cut the fenders from another mower and made like a little wide body kit and would a chain drive be easier to work with?
RBG wants to do a street go kart build off with you guys.
buy your self a predator vertical please thoes engines are literal piles of trash the will blow no mater what you do please for your safety please bye a preatator
Love your vids, but, in editing can you tone down the grinding and cutting? I sometimes struggle to hear you fellers speak, then whammo! Blow out my eardrums with a cutter/grinder. It gets annoying. Thanks John and Ike!
I'm having problems taking off of old rusted clutch converter that part that goes to the shaft
A gas pedal would be cool, BUT it has to big a chrome foot print pedal to be correct... heha
Having the big wheel on top increases torque
Have the big wheel on bottom increases speed
