Gotta have photos I forget everything!

I stopped at 9:50 to mention that you pull the brake band in the direction of rotation because the grip multiplies the braking. The other way it forces to band apart lessening the brake power.

You know what, that makes sense.

keep the axle in that piece of angle iron when welding it that way it will stay realatively straight the welderzs heat can spread and warp the other weld s and ruin them sacraficing strength and making it wonky

Come on episode 4, looking sick!

Soon, very soon wiring it up right now lol!

personally i do a grease and gera oil mix in my transaxles makes it a little easier for the transaxle to turn and still provides great lubrication as it isnt just flung away form the gears as it drips back down

You sure got some nice ankles there. Sure hate to see that handheld pyrana getya. Lol jk your tougher than I am . Always Wear pants when welding n grinding. Great show

The #s on Briggs engines, "model-type-code", if I said them in the right sequence, the first two 2#s of the code, is the year of the engine. If original engine, that should tell you the year of the mower.

I didn’t know that, I’ll go take a look.

yes your correct in what your thinking having the drum brake like that youll get a better brakeing force and the other way it has a high risk of gettting ripperd around and broken

Ok good to hear I was thinking right I never bothered looking it up lol.

during the summertime i picked up the same mower. Granted mine still has almost new looking paint. Ive been slowly working on it and this vidio gave me so much insight. Mine orginally had a 3 speed transacxle and a 11hp briggs but i have a 5 speed and a 20hp v twin ready to be put in. This helped me so much visioning how ima lower it.

Hey that’s great glad this helped you out! Goodluck with your mower, if you have any questions just ask.

personally i woulhave lowered the seat for a even lower look and more stable feel when driving the fenders also are bigger up your sides and stop you falling off

Add the fenders, absolutely add the fenders.

You just cleaned the trans axle then fill it back up with weld splatter 😂

I really want to do an off-road mower just on the look out for the right mower. I haven’t decided if I want to lift the Deere, Statesmen, or find another. Stay tuned I’ll definitely be lifting a mower.

17:21 ive got3 original brigs starters at home allof them came on the mowers and only one out of the three were plastic i think its for less powerful engines and in the early 90s most came fitted with metal ones depending on budjet etc

@goodtimesgarage

That plastic piece really did puzzle me. Just got the new one put on and it will be in episode 4.

I believe the teeth count is different between the steel and plastic? I also believe engines (briggs) anyways, have either plastic starter gear and steel ring gear or steel starter gear and plastic ring gear. This is so miner damage if something binds, not broken crank, case blows out, where starter mounts or total starter blowup.

Oh yea his John Deere is what originally got me hooked on wanting to build a mower. Pretty sure their Murray and mine are the same model. Thx for the encouragement it means a lot hope you stick around I got lots of content coming!

Things comin along great! Love the way you mounted the transaxle with the stock mounts but flipped, never though of that. I've got the same Murray that im turning into a rat rod mower. Its a similar petina on it and it's awesome to see someone doing the same thing. Keep it up you earned a new subscriber. 👍🤙

Glad your liking the episodes! The welder I use in the video is around $400 you can get a cheap flux core at harbor freight for about $150. I used one for years before I got this one.
