i'm a newb to these forums, i found aaron's site by a horribly butchered search for a wiring diagram for a ford explorer amplifier... anyways, i thought it would be fun to snowball this topic around...
www.teamcabotracing.fabpage.com/photo.html
goes to show you how bored i got.. that is the Mark II version

mark I: 12hp ohv tecumseh, craftsman frame, 2 speed transaxle, motor swapped for 8hp pullstart briggs and stratton, honda 110atc exhaust bolted on in place

mark II: 8hp tecumseh 3 speed chain drive craftsman, belt driven to tranny, chain to rear axle. lasted a total of 4 seconds until tranny mounts stripped out.

mark III: (photos) 11.5hp briggs and stratton, 5 speed, open-diff, re-geared (unlike previous 2 versions) , 13hp briggs carb installed, cut and shaped honda 110atc header (installed after the 2" chrome car tip pictured), foot throttle, un-governed, jockey-shift style brakes, Gates power-rated belt that i got for $5 at a garage sale ($30 in stores) top speed: in excess od 45mph. why not faster? my tires are far from being balanced, and the steering wandered... TOO much for my likings

mark IV: craftsman frame again, pulled motor/transaxle from mark III, uses variable ratio center pulley, rear belt tensioner setup, good for 20mph max with my gear ratio.

feel free to comment/ask me about this, email to rc37456@yahoo.com, or AIM/AOL me at jw0n0r.

that is slick. i would take a small car engine (honda?) and the tranny and back axle that cam with it. it would look funny, but when you get around 80 mph, it is worth it! i haven't tried this, but i probably will. cut your lawn in 20 sec flat!

That's sweet! I have long been interested in hotrodding a ride-on lawnmower. Probably use a Mazda 12A rotary.
