Since I had a mower and a few go kart's worth of parts laying around....
Time for a Race Mower build!!!
Donor mower is a early 00's Craftsman that came with a nuked hydrostatic and a 18hp Kholer single.
The engine we're using for this one is a Briggs 18hp oppy with a mikuni, pulse pump and soon to be exhaust. The engine was provided by Karl (thanks).
After the whole mower was torn down I set it up at ride height and set the front axle on the front and figured why not.
The axle sits just high enough to use the original mounts flipped upside down. The whole setup got welded together, all 6011 3/32 rod.
The rear axle's a peerless differential out of a Bird Baja. It'll have 8in wheels and the 18 in. Goodyear tires, it should help this thing turn good.
