Yeah. I don't believe in that slime junk. It's fine for the people that are too lazy to put patches and tubes in their stuff. Too many times I have changed tires that had slime, I'm guessing that you never did? Exactly, let me know what you think of the product after you change about 50 tires that are filled with it! LOL

I also found where the leak is. The PO of the tires (before my buddie got them) wasn't good at changing tires. The really stiff walls probably didn't help much with the cause, but he put two or three little slices in the area that the bead seals. I have some spray on stuff that is meant EXACTLY for that purpose that does work. When the water dries off it tomorrow I will spray some on and see how it works.

no i have had my share of slime, once i had slime in my tire and i wanted new tires so i took the valve stem out and all the slime sprayed out in my face and i was all green but its good stuff for dry rotted tires but i dont like tubes because i always pinch the tube and ruin it

all man you have got to up date this saw that in the background of the trike love the paint please update this

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! July 31st 2014, 9:28 pm

hey is there any updates and if so can u put pics

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 5th 2014, 1:45 pm

Yeah, I am currently repainting it. (literally I am waiting for the paint to dry right now lol). I ran out of the light blue that you saw in the picture of the trike. So, I went shopping for more and Krylon must have discontinued that color. I went to 3 different stores and none had it EVEN WAL*MART! So I went with a darker blue like I wanted to originally. Got the grille, and the fenders done waiting for the orange on the hood to dry so I can put the blue on. After that I just have to do the running boards and the dash, along with the rims. Then I think I might get Amber lights for on the front. I gave a hint in the chat a few weeks ago on what it is being based off of. I guess I may as well put it up here too. It is being based off this car.

i was wonder where did you get your axles for your mower the ones you put in the transaxle and what is that trans you are running right now

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 7th 2014, 11:00 pm

i love it man the flat black makes it look mean as ***** keep up the great work bud!!!!!

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 18th 2014, 4:38 pm

can you update and where did you get your axles

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 18th 2014, 9:26 pm

My axles were from a bench grinder. Vise grip was welded to bearing supports (clamp in lawn mower blades to sharpen LOL) I had to sand them down because they weren't perfectly round. I have one in this and the trike, both hold up good. On another note while axles are on the topic. I was putting my fenders back on and realize that my axles move about 1/8" up and down in the case. This may have to do with me not sanding down the axles the best. I will need a new case, I will also have to cut off my hubs to put the new bearings in (previously didn't have bearings Sad

).

Here is a teaser or two.....

I think it looks good with the flat black background. Then there isn't so much orange and blue. Just after the pic was taken i blew the dust off it (sat in the shop for awhile) and my sticker literally fell off the hood. This may have to do with the sticker sitting in my toolbox for a year and a half, also spilling oil on it probably didn't help much Razz

. Now I need to get after my buddy for a few more Gulf Stickers! Also need some amber lights for the front!

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 18th 2014, 11:18 pm

We need pictures of those axles and how you did them!

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 19th 2014, 12:19 pm

all man that looks beautiful

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 19th 2014, 12:31 pm

Looks Awesome!

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 19th 2014, 12:34 pm

Mr.modified is going to loose it when he sees this lol.

Great work! My 930 has case play, like 1/4" and oh well. If it blows I can get another transaxle easy

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! November 12th 2014, 9:39 pm

Thanks Doug for moving it here so I can post again. I've been busy since the build off ended. I was doin donuts on loose dirt with my ags when the unexpected happened. I split my 3/4 axle I'm my doc locker in half. Case and internals are ok just my axle is in half. So I got an 820 from Red. Came in, changed grease and fixed some stuff yadda yadda yadda and I'm getting ready to put it back in. This is just a test run. If all goes well I will take it back apart and lock the differential. Also noticed both my front tires go flat, this may just be from sitting with the trans out for about a month or so Razz

. Can't wait to get it driving again. Also filled the trans with a thick oil or runny grease or whatever you want to call it. It is called " OO-Grease." Double O grease. Put that in, still need to make a vent/ fill hose. I will put some pics up after I get them off my phone. Hopefully tomorrow.

What kind of blue paint did you use? i like it i think i will use that color on my tractor.

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! November 13th 2014, 12:06 pm

this is the best tractor i have ever seen theres no dent no holes no rust its simple and which mowers dose better this or your off road craftsman

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! November 13th 2014, 3:51 pm

This. The offroad Craftsman was retired right as I started modding this in the build-off. That is where my V-Twin came from. It is sitting in my trailer next to my shelves and my trike and my gokart. Either way, this did a lot better, faster speed, better tires, better frame, and just all around better. I learned from that and made this one here a lot better.

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! November 13th 2014, 8:26 pm

Here are my pictures. Driving flat out through the lot when I noticed my left tire was sticking out farther than the right. Got off and saw this.

Dang right? Pulled 'er into my shed and tore the tranny out and open in about five minutes (new record, lol, NASCAR here I come!). This is what I saw.

And this is how she sat for about a month or so when I had absolutely no motivation to work it.

Now I just put my 820 in and realized my shifter fork is still messed up. I had the ball tightened down like I was told and backed it off a little at a time and it still skips gear. Everyone that owns a gear drive transaxle knows how it feels to shift from one gear to the other right? "click, click, click." Well mine don't do that it just goes really smooth and it gets caught between gear and it grinds really bad. I will probably have to change shift keys when I take my 820 out to replace my shifter shaft with a new/ used one because Tecumseh doesn't make them new anymore LMM's Rally Mower! - Page 5 2429134702

All I got for today.

Idk really. It was krylon rattle cans. I think one was deep blue and some kind of Orange. I accidentally used a darker Orange on the seat pan. You can see it in the one picture without the seat on. I'd sooner use the darker Orange anyways, has more contrast with the dark blue.

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! January 27th 2015, 4:07 pm

Got new shift keys and a brandy new shift fan in. Installed the new parts and kept the old shift keys for a backup set because they were still usable, not horrible, but not good either. I mentioned somewhere about the axles being really short on my 820. I hated how the tires sit inside the fenders. When i had it running with the tires like that, it handled horrid because it wasn't as stable with the pivoting front axle. SO, I had gotten some 5-lug hubs from a tractor over the summer. I had these sitting in my trailer all summer next to my 1" axle that I was going to use someday. I thought about putting the hubs on the transaxle and getting 8" 5-lug rims, this would space the tires out a little bit. I hobbled up to my trailer with my walker in the snow to find that my hubs aren't in there anymore. They have been in there all summer, and were in there on 12/09/14 when I reorganized my trailer (picture proof). And I am pretty sure I saw them in there closer to my accident. But they aren't there now. Nobody down at the shop goes in my trailer but me, and when they do they don't usually take anything without telling me. Everyone is telling me that I lost them, but I didn't need them anytime between 12/09/14 and now so why would I have taken them out of my trailer? So, I am waiting to find those hubs. I am also waiting on some grease for my transaxle, I found some cool stuff that is like really runny grease, but isn't oil. Then I will have to tell my dad I love him and beg him to put my transaxle back in my rig so I can ride it when I am allowed to again... Razz

Nah prolly not. Buddy there already stripped out my front tranny mount after I told him to put it in finger tight and I will tighten it down... He had the smart idea to tighten it down for me and stripped it out ffs. Then he told me it was my fault for some reason...

Yep, all 820s are 2" shorter then the long axle'd mst's and 930s. Inconvient over here too.

Yeah, I read over on heymow that you can get longer axles.. But they apparently aren't very common on most 820's, and I don't feel like spending the extra money..

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 13th 2015, 3:18 pm

UPDATE,

Still sitting in the trailer, hasn't been started since late February. Need parts to be able to drive it. Hopefully can get back to this in December where I left off last year on the build. Hope to be able to drive it in the snow this year because I wasn't able to drive in the snow for the past two years... yeah I KNOW TWO YEARS. So I need to find rims and get tires mounted. Also need to find out why my 820 whines so loud. Probably going to run some Lucas gearbox oil in it with a vent hose. Also may be redoing the shifter to a fender shifter, or just take it apart and rebuild the linkage with less slop.

Subject: Re: LMM's Rally Mower! August 14th 2015, 11:31 am

for the 820 id clean the grease out and run oil, I did that to my 920 and it stoped winning
