#09 sorry. I think it belonged to a guy who goes by the screen name old goat on another website. It says juniata co outlaws mower racing club on the hood. Arma certified 2010 sticker.
The cover says 17 hp but was told close to 30hp. Rocket cam aluminium rod and flywheel big valves. He also said it was a mod x with a 700 peerless trans. I race karts but this thing is on a whole different level as power.

you should have asked the owner, or person who built it those questions....there is very little anyone else can answer for you.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

The guy i got it from did not know. And since this is a mower forum i figured someone could put me in contact with the original owner or builder. Alan bell. Old goat or joel. Thanks for your input

Old Goat is a member here, I'm sure he will pipe in when he is on. He is not on every day.
Like Zach said, he is one of the best...you bought a good piece!
