What the pics don't show is that it is House of Kolor Red Metal flake, with Candy Flames.  Lots of sparkle!!!!

No it is not!  Look at that first pic, in the front.  Someone was going slower than me!!!!!
Lee Vine has a quote on his site about some guys from Tenn coming to the races in Mn.  That wouldn't be team Fat Boyz, would it?  If it is we will see you there!

George,   Very cool, would be good hear that BP again!   and it won't leave here.

Thanks for the complements guys!  It is good to be buddys with a body man.  It was funny, Mike (he built a FX and will be with me in MN)  has painted 7 or 8 racing lawnmowers but never one for himself.  So he finaly had to now that he built USLMRA machine.

Thanks again

That is one SWEET mowchine. That is the same body style I am building.
Can I ask how or where you put the center of the rear axle? Are the tires Carlisle 16X7.50-8?

please visit the coffee shop under "the begining"

Thank you so very much and again great mowchine.

Hey SWEET machine. Do you think you could show me some picks of the throttle set up? Particularly the area on the steering wheel and where it attaches to the carb?

Thanks!!!!!

Speed Demon-  I didn't really "cut" the frame.  I put a cart axle in the rear with a 700 trans.  The front I just welded a piece of box iron in place of the orig axle and put cart spindles on it.  USLMRA don't let you cut the sheetmetal so I had to leave mine stock.  Plus it still kinka looks like it is suppose to!  It is 37 3/4 inches side to side, that way I slide though tech easily!  Engine---28 cid briggs.  Small piston, ARC rod, G-force cam, ported, ARC counter balance weights, ARC flywheel, G-force carb, and 11 hp head.

Creechfan--- Here is a pic of the throttle on the carb,  not real good but that is all I got.  I used a conduit retainer and spring for a go kart, then drilled out the hole on the carb and used a cable swivel to hold the cable to the carb.  Got all that stuff from APS page 147.



The set up on the wheel is a Goldfinger left had throttle for a snowmobile.  It is basicly a bike brake but it has a cool little trigger.  Here is their site.  http://www.fullthrottleinc.com/
If you want one they will sell just the throttle and a cable for $40.  But you have to call and request a "racing lawnmower throttle"  If you don't get it this way it will cost you $100 because it comes with a bunch of stuff that you don't need that is for a sled.  Cool product and nice people to deal with, I highly recomend them.
Hope this helps

the goldfinfer can be bought a lot cheaper than that threw a bike shop , i got mine ( all 4 of them ) for like 20 or 25 dollars . i will look up the store name and post it later . that dont come with anything but the throttle cable and lever but the rest can be made real easy with a flat piece of steel bent into a 90 degree angel and welded to the shroud then put a spring one the back side like you see in the pics

I have 5 inches in the back.  My axle is 1.5 inches from the bottom of the frame to the center of the axle.  I guess I did "cut" the frame, just not alot.  I used the bearing holders from APS (page 22 lower left hand side of page) to reinforce where I bolted on my bearing flanges.  I put the bottom of the holder even with the bottom of the frame, cut out hole and mount axle. USLMRA rules let you discretley move your fenders so I jacked mine up about 1/4 inch in the back, this gives you about 1/2 to 3/4 inch more tire clearance.
I am running carslile turf masters-  16-7.5-8 on a 8x8 Jr. Dragster rim.
In the pics it looks real low because of the grass.  I need to mow!!!!

No the axle sits above the frame bottom 1/5 inches to the center of the axle.  I have dial up so pics take a while.  Try this go to Coffee shop, look at subject "the begining", go to page 3, and post #8.  That isn't my mower but the same thing.  Where he has marked is where my axle is.  I'm not sure on the distance from the top of the frame but I'm sure you'll get the idea.  If you still need a pic let me know and I'll get one, but it will take time.
