Mower with 13HP Briggs

Hello, got this mower for free a while ago. It's a Partner 13 105E with a Briggs and startton 13HP diamond engine.
It's in a pretty bad shape. One seat spring is missing that's why the seat looks weird.
The hood is smashed up, i will try to get it fixed or build my own.
I have rewired it to push button ignition cause the old electrical system wasnt working, and i have built a pull start for it.
I have also istalled a new alluminium flywheel gear, but i need a new clutch drive and thats on the way to me.

To do list:
lock the differental
new tires
hood
lights
atv rack
custom dashboard
seat
paint
make it go faster

Pics:






Dashboard (the toggle switch is red not orange)

Looks like a great start! I love how craftsmans are so easy to modify!

Thanks!

thats cool! cant wait to see what youre gonna do for a hood lol. AYP frames are great bases and really easy to mod.. have fun!

What willis and nico said, there good frames to start with, no real modifications, light, and hold up to abuse. The weak point is the front stamped axles. Is it me or is the front axle already twisting? Good engine too, its hard to mess up a flatty.

Thanks, i dont think the front end is twisted. I am still waiting for parts.

Hello,
Painted the exhaust with some high temp paint today. Will make a new one later maybe..
I did also install my new drive clutch so i could get my electric start working, i painted the electric start engine to.

Looks good, tho I think you should build a new exhaust   

Thanks
Should i add a smaller pulley to the front or rear to make it faster?

Smaller pulley for the rear makes it faster, youll see how big the rear is. usually a 1:1 ratio will net you 15+ on a standard 5 speed axle. 6 speed its almost/about 20 mph with 20-22" tires. like 5"-5" is a good setup.
