We're doing a lawn tractor race in a couple months. Neighborhood get together, meet folks, etc.. More of a party than an actual "race". We'll have a small car show, catered BBQ lunch, a little stand up comedy, etc. Third time we've done this event, and I want to play around with it a little.
My understanding is that on a NON-Hydrostatic drive riding mower, you can swap the front & rear pulleys to make it faster. (I've only had hydro drive mowers) True?
Fairly simple to do? Any advice? I'm looking locally for a cheap riding mower to take the deck off, swap pulleys, and put a big fake Nascar wing on it. Just for fun, of course... Any other thoughts/advice/questions on this idea? Last couple years I ran my Gravely ZT60 zero turn mower and beat my neighbor with his Toro.
