Off road mower

[MTDman1]

I spent the last hour taking the deck off and its off now. So you said A 10 inch pulley in the front and stock in the back? also on yours when it went 47 mph, was the engine all stock and what h.p. was your engine?

Just had a old 12.5 off a old snapper.


Because of how the drive works on the MTD you don't change the back pulley.

Ok this is how I am feeling right now it took you a hour to take the deck off. Only a two min job.
Maybe this is something you should not be getting into. You really should know more about mowers before you you start trying to go fast

If u want to learn how go to YouTube an look up fearless front he has video how to do everything an also yes the deck dose need to come off :thumbsup:

Yes take the deck off.

It should do around 25 mph and still give you good take off power.

If you want to play in the mud go with a 6 inch pulley if you want to just go real fast go with a 10 inch pulley.

Just so you know
YOUR GOING TO GET HURT

I take it you are talking about the 6" and 10" pulley's on the transaxle? Please explain why a 10" pulley would make the mower go faster than the 6". Wouldn't the 6" spin faster and make the mower go faster? I can see where the bigger pulley on the engine would increase speed. I was thinking along the line of a bicycle 10 speed system. Thanks.

Can I use a pulley off the deck?

I believe Carscw is talking about the pulley on the engine spindle, not transaxle.

that's why on a ten speed you go faster with a big sprocket in the front

I did say your only going to change the front pulley. Remember I said your ONLY going to change the engine pulley.

Mowers are made to go 5mph not 30 mph
If you get on it and go as fast as you can your going to crash

You have to learn how to turn
Oh and the brakes don't work at that speed
I have built a few and always let my dumb brother Inlaw test drive it. He gets hurt every time

You really don't like your brother-in-law do you????LOL:0)
And you're pretty smart to enlist a test driver too!!!!
