Off Road Noma Build

I really doubt you'll lose that much. Snapper LT16s (and some sister models of that) use a 90* mule drive to drive the deck, and the 16hp oppy will spin a 48* deck at idle. Although That setup has an electric clutch, so there's constant tension. No clutching.

I know I change my mind a lot. But I found a parts mower with a working engine and it has tires to make duallys with and it would take less money to buy that than it would be to buy separate parts. And the Motor in the parts mower is newer and is a Briggs and Stratton. And the whole parts mower is 100 bucks. And the parts mower has a battery and a seat. I need all those things on the noma. So I think I’m gonna get that and put some parts on the noma.

Sounds like a good deal. Duallies can be really interesting sometimes.

I change my mind a lot too hahaha. Right now I can't decide if I wanna do a cutout on my craftsman lol

Trust me I change my mind every day!

rynomine how old are you and where are you from?

So I am 13 years old and I’m not going to let where I’m from out. Just for safety purposes.

Understandable. I think he was asking for a ballpark location though. I’m from Indiana. People get an idea but it’s tough to find me in a state this populated lol

Well I’m from virgina

Cool. So your profile pic, is that your murray? You seem kinda new to modding mowers...

@CraftsmanQuad19 i'm gonna tell you straight up why. I didnt know what to put as a profile pic. And no its not mine.

Yeah I thought I'd seen it somewhere.

Well I have pics.

Mod EDIT: Mightyraze, Made images viewable.

Ah, I see that you engine actually doesnt have a mechanical fuel pump, it's just a gravity feed system. So you can knock that off the list as a potential fuel delivery issue.

Well it was like the cheapest lawn mower of it’s time

Aws? I doubt it! Most high end motors don't have fuel pumps anyway.

Well it's probably nothing to do with being a top of the line tractor, it's about the design. If the fuel tank is right behind the engine and higher than the carb there's no need for a fuel pump. If it was under the seat however a fuel pump would be neccessary.

You can see the boss on his block where there fuel pump would have gone. I should know because my john deere has a very similar motor.

Linked your images above so people don't have to bounce back and forth.

That's the first Noma AWS that I have seen with a Hydro?  Interesting placement of the hydro release.  I wonder how often that would get snagged?

Here is a pic of my Noma built Craftsman...

Is yours a hydro Mighty?

No mine is a 6 speed. (I think peerless 930) Mine also has the larger fuel tank and 15hp Opposed Briggs.

So pretty much a regular tranny but with steering ends?

I think it comes with a shorter axle to compensate for the knuckles.  And a pass-through hole for the steering arm.

@rynomine   Your hood broke too?

Here is a bracket I made for mine to fix the hinge.  Ideas if yours is broken. Back when I had a toy welder.

Wonder if Sears Parts Direct has those knuckles.  Shorten the axle, put on the knuckles, figure out some steering, boom! all wheel steer!

I think there's a boss with a big hole in the middle of the AWS cases for a pivot for the steering linkages, so it might be difficult to make a regular transaxle work as an AWS unit.

The only things the normal 930 shares with the AWS 930 is input shaft and gears. Everything else is AWS or normal specific

The AWS axles are shorter and have a spline on the end, along with a different case. Although you can swap the knuckles and axles into regular cases(900 and MST series cases).
