MTD off-road romper build.

Your engine is sideways! You will just go around in circles! Lol...

Nice fab work on the exhaust. Going to need a couple of braces for the long one.

Wiring it up today. Stock gas tank bearly fits. It's like 1" away from the head. Is that to close?

Here's an idea for something red.  I'd go to your junkyard and look for a rubber murray seat to mount on there.  It would beat that cracked vinyl seat.

My friend has one. It's to big. I think big seats on mowers always looks dumb.

More exhaust

Pipe #2

hey, if it lights on fire, maybe i'll get toned out for mutual aid.. "lawnmower fire" lol. if you think its gonna be a problem, just get a thin piece of metal and stick it in between the head and tank. or maybe insulation on the tank?

Im probally just going to buy a new tank. LOL. it will just be smaller. im going hoodless till i can figure out how to make a air filter. Brewing ideas

Just some better outside pictures.





You couldnt GUESS how many people told my my engine is in "wrong" on facebook. Ugh people, im not blind! LOL

Nope one cyl had 50psi of compression, other had 110, then one side had a bolt in the intake, and one side had spark till i made a wire lol

Well ye haw im the 4th person on the forum to break 1,000 posts. Yea, i post to much.

Anyways, i made progress on the mtd today, mounted my gas tank, car horn, back up beeper, and fuel line.

Gas tank barely fits. its the shroud, barely makes contact with the steering rod, and barely fits width wise in the console. , its nice to know that i got the biggest tank that can fit tho, i just have to hole saw my hood and make new hood pins, no biggie.

talk about close quarters. gratz on the 1000 posts BTW

Thanks. I need a longer foot thrttlw cable too

Looks sweet! Happy 1000th! This is my happy 200th lol.. team don't post just watch lol

I had one of those two cylinder motors off a craftsman. I saved it for a while, but didn't think I would ever use it so I junked it. Bad mistake... Exhaust pipes sound good. I guess it's not all that much heavier than the old motor. Doesn't seem to effect the leaf springs does it?
