« on: May 13, 2012, 10:54:45 pm »
Heres the start of my new mower build....Started as a Murray Widebody - Chassis is all welded up - Getting ready to order a EC front end








Hope to have it completed by the stevenson race, by the way can someone give me the link to this event --Is there racing 3 days?

Thanks

Looking good. How high are your pedals? Reason I ask they look a little high but may be the way it looks in the pics. Hard part is done so should be a breeze to finish.

Just an option but if your gonna clutch it on the bottom you can run a chain on top may save a bit of room. sprockets egenerally wind up being smaller than the pulleys. Just some food for thought.
Looking good so far. Myself I am out to the barn/shop to put the new motor into the Super sportsman. Since My trip to New orleans was cancelled 100 miles in due to a tire problem I been working on ours all weekend. The joys of racing.

Thanks Tank...you may be right on the pedals..havent really got to even sit on it yet!

George, we changed the setup around alittle, hopefully no slipping...if it does the chain will definately be an option.

Hey Rodney gonna be driving my new Super Sportsman with a little vanny on it at Stevenson, ..you have you ole rival back on the track  8)

Im running the Mod XR ...we've spent the last 3 days working on mowers.. im wore out and still have a lot to do!

Since I didnt make the trip to Nawlians thats what we did, new motor on the super Sportsman, Fixed Super Mod twin tweaked on Jakes, and quite frankly I be wore out too.
Will be good to have Rodney and you back on the track. We had some great times in the past.
