Hi guys new to the forums here. i live in western new york. been building customs mowers for a few years now. im trying to upload pics of my current build. not sure if they are working

anyways my current build is a toro 7-25 RER from the mid 80's. it has a tecumseh 7hp, with a race prepped foote 3 speed. locked rear axle. front pivot welded. brake lever on steering wheel for throttle. threaded front spindles with castle nut ant put go kart bearings in front wheels. snowblower tires on the back. it has a top speed of 40mph

did some riding yesterday in about 6 to 7 inches of snow and had no problem getting through it, and this mower is so light i lift it up in the back of my truck and just find a field some where and take it for a ride.

ive had lots of mowers. my favs were the rear engine due to the adaptability of transmissions and rear ends. it being chain drive makes for less headache in my opinon. plus i love doing wheelies lol. i also make alot of my own parts since i work in a machine shop.

got 3 or 4 other guys who ride with me and are into the off road mowers. most have front engines and pulley swaps. one guy is messing with a vari drive.

some other things i have are a 1991 honda trx250x. and an old jc penny scat.

i have another murray select rear engine with a 12.5hp and a transaxle. its got alot of torque with the current pulley swap. my only issue is the transaxle seems to have had enough and makes some noise and i cant seem to find a replacement or parts even. i know its a dana/spicer. i will upload pics shortly maybe someone here has parts

You got that right. they were a little to small for my tastes but man, i ran 0 psi in them and they are hard as a rock lol.
