HAy i just wanted to see if anyone else in here has a racing lawnmower and if you do what do you got on it?????Mine is just for fun and climbing hills and riding in the sand but it is pretty fast for a mower......so far my mods.....removed govenor,no air box with new air filter,modified stock exhaust,removed about 50 pounds of extra stuff on it ,diffrent pullys all the way around ...does about 20-25 right now and will climb some big hills...I run 1 pound of pressure in my tires right now..my next mods are holeshot tires 18 x 9.5 on the back and a lot smaller pulley in the back to get it to about 55 mph.......anyone else out there love there mower??

 

Nope but wouldnt it be cool to have one that would lets say outrun a 400ex??? lol that would be hilarious. LOL

 

is this one of those "you know you're a Redneck if..." jokes???

 

I know a guy that has a "pulling" lawn-mower. He has a ported and polished, balanced 1100cc, V4 out of a V65 MAGNA, that is matched to a 4 speed transmission out of a old jeep. The motor puts out around 165 hp. It is ONE BAD *****!!!!





Biggerisbetter.

 

I know a guy with one that races round track with it. He has all kinds of goodies, pipe, carb, I don't know what else. It will run about 65 top end, and gets there in a hurry. I just can't imagine doing that on the same front spindles that come on them.

 

I turned my push mower into a hovercraft, it does 50 easy![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

We have a lawnmower racing organization here. All the proceeds go to chairty and it's just a good time for everyone. I'm gonna start racing next spring.

 

I made a very cheap Sears go around 35 mph. All i did to it was change the rear pulley from around a 6" to about a 1". The rearend was aluminum, so it only lasted about a day and a half. The axle shot out the side while I was going down the highway! LOL! But it was fun while it lasted!

 

I've seen lawnmower races on TV a couple of times. Now thats crazy!

 

Yeah im trying to get mine going fast now..its easy all you really got to do is change out the pulleys..my dad works at sears and they did a lawnmower drag for charity and he made his go 55 and converted it to chain drive,and that thing wood seriously rip wheelies!!!!
