My lawn mower - Click HERE for Original Thread

.:FoRuM56:.
at the meet yesterday I brought up my lawn mower project so I figured Id post a few pics...back from august lol

Its a oldass bolens riding mower with a 617cc l/c twin mach 1 sled engine, bored 1mm, w/ wiesco pistons, and just a single pipe heat wrapped so pretty much stock, rated at 110hp.
Its so loaded that I cant rest my feet anywhere from coolant hoses and clutch's being in the way lol







progress stopped when it got cold out but it was nearly finished
just cosmetic and electrical
on the test drive I had up to about 30mph but it started to shake violently in the rear and I had no brakes so I'm thinking I'll track down some car tires and rims for the back to be a bit more balanced.

:thumbup:

Looks good but what is with the cum stain on the seat? :lol:

You need to paint it, and put on some spinners! :D

I love it! But don't your balls get a little warm from the radiator being so close??

110HP?!? That's double my cars HP!

.:FoRuM56:.

and no Im pretty good lol, I just try and sit back as far as possible and pray it doesnt blow a hose

Why not build a small rad support and relocate the rad to the front of it. You would get the benefit of forced air cooled while driving and not have to worry about liquefying your testicles in the event of a rad leak. :D

Dems the risks when you drive a 110 HP lawnmower I guess!

My Dad had an old honda odyssey with the same engine.. formula plus mach 1... That thing was scary fast.... At least his had a roll cage.... :lol:

*EDIT*

As well as 5 speeds and brakes... Had reverse and heat too :p

thats cool man, I've got a simalar project I started a couple years ago with a old symplecity tractor, but I wana slam it.:thumbup:

.:FoRuM56:.
I tried to locate the rad up front but I just cant fit it anywhere lol
the pipe its self takes up most of the room
This was a mock up pic at the begining...and imagine the motor is moved forward about 7" from there lol.
the gas tank is located under my seat hahaha:thumbup:

.:FoRuM56:.
