changed the oils and the sparkplugs
i gonne redo the wiring because i have a lot of issue with it when its wet
i am all tearing it appart

plans are

custom stacks

transaxle locking

pulley swap

bodey painting

better tires

and new hood or modding the old one fu*** fiberglass...

and i am tinking of putting some kind of car alternator on it but i dont think that it is a really good idea since this thing is gonna be running in deep mud so yeah probably not.

Cool a Jacobson! What axle? Hood wise you could just put a really good brush guard and hope for the best, that's what I would do at least. For tires it looks like it has a 3/4" but it maybe a 801 which I would be comfortable putting 24s nothing more, cause its a 800 series, if it aint, then I would go with 22s. Pulley swap go 5 to 5 or 6 to 6.

i just washed it and it seems like i got an oïl leak on the transaxle im gonna take it out when i come back from school to check that i want to find wich model it is aswell.

i got it torn out ! here are some pic

i washed the transaxle so i can find wich model it is tommow i will order the pulleys i just need to find where to order them...

nice! I do not belive that it is a 820, because of the H pattern shift. it looks to be a 4 speed, so it may be a gt axle.

I didn't notice the H shifting, that purdy cool

be careful of them things if you live in an area with snow....

Here the snow is all melted finallllly Very Happy

yeah, same here, until next winter anyway

I love how long it looks looks like a drag mower

What type tires are you planning to put on this? And the model # should be on the fenders under the seat, or sometimes its a badge on the side of the frame...

That thing looks sweet

Looks nice, I think 14hp was the lowest twin out there.

yes 14hp opposed are the smallest one but it still have plenty of torque and i know it looks like a drag mower lol im probably gonna put some t Kenda K530 Pathfinder on the rear but i dont know what i am gonna put in the front yet

Briggs actually made an 12.5 hp oppy

i did not know that b&s did a 12,5 oppy

Indeed, indeed. I have an '87 Deutz-Allis 613 Hydro in my garage that has a 12.5 opposed on it. My project mower, an '80 or '81 Allis-Chalmers 616 Special is the same mower mechanically with the exception of the transaxles. The Allis Chalmers had a 5 speed 801 peerless and a 16 hp Opposed. However, they are both 40 CID motors, so I imagine the carbs are all that is really different? I really haven't looked through my manuals enough to know for sure though.

The carb and the intake manifold is what I'd guess would be different...

i am gonne check for another set of tires because kenda's are expensive and i dont have alot of money right now but i am going to my grandparent this weekend probably gonna do a stock romp i would not bet to go really far in the woods thought
