V6 Lawn Tractor

With 3$ a week i would ditch this project, its naiv to think you Will ever finish this without a proper plan and a budget. Why are you aiming so high? Just wondering, all I want is a mower and I have a budget.

Well I've built a few mowers already. And I have spare parts and tractors to sell to make money. Also I've had someone offer to "go in wih me", but I want to earn the money myself. This is a rare opportunity!

Yeah will be kewl to follow your build if you decide to do it. And that beetle engine is sweet

Ya look for a new thread soon!

I'm nt sure about the beetle, I really want to part out a whole car, so Ben I have brakes, lights, and drivetrain stuff.

We want vids

Alright, ill do that. Once it stops snowing, ill get some pics and vids and start a build thread!

We will be watching

Thanks. I'm not going to be able to start untill the summer, I need to mow some lawns or something to fund it.

I will make some videos, my YouTube user is legoguy8910.

Go to your local junkyard and look for a motor me id probly do an old inline 6 and try and find an ancient one that uses as many wires as the mower motor did

not sure if somebody has already said this but what about a 4 cyl. motorcycle motor already has transmission and small. could use a four wheeler suspension too. It would be fast!

I like the 6 cyl idea, but what about the weight?

lol yes. Once school is done, in the summer. Right now I'm shopping and planning.

That is true, my big murray has 23 inch tires on the FRONT, imagine how this looks, also on youtube.

what about getting a honda valkryie engine, 1500cc made in the usa 6 cylinder shaft driven + it has a tranny build in as well. i really wanted to do that bu i'm having troubles finding an axle small enough to work

That'll work great I've been wanting use one of these for ever

umm just to attest if you use a cub cadet its not hard to stuff a 2.3l ford into it just have to get a pulling tractor gear set so it takes the extra power. we used a bell and clutch set up off a mustang 2 . it worked. wasnt that graceful though.
