The Flame Gaurds are awesome.
What are they made out of?


And that would be cool if you could show some pictures how you did that rear setup.
it's very interesting to me.

And the way that baby is sitting looks great for mudd bogging!! :woo:

made the chain guard by cutting two 12 inch circles out and using 3 pieces of angle that I get from work .everything is cut from using my plasma .the rear end set up is from a older dixon zero turn mower , cut frame and tipped up and welded down tubes , try to get you some pics . right now it's buried in the snow .
Wow man... looks like if you lean over too far, your tipping over!  That things is freakin awesome :drool:
pretty stable , just scares the crap out of you when it pulls a wheelie .

Wow - i mentioned in another thread aboot doing a project similar to yours. Its a really great looking machine y made there. I considered the use of 15" car wheels as well but figgered id get kicked out for suggesting it, instead using cub cadet or wheelhorse tall tires for all 4 wheels. I dont think id go as high as yours, mainly for  the possiblility of doing a coil over type suspension with a differential axle in rear, using a 2/3 link in front an rear, just high enuff to be different then a normal mower. I currently am in the process of tinkering with like 3 other tractors and building a larger shed to do all this work in, then ill be able to get my welder n start fabricating.

drag race or ice race is what we race with monster mower ,otherwise they are used on lawnmower poker runs on or off road .Most of our machines are built as wide as they are tall .Goliath is almost 60 in. wide and 67 in tall .and is pretty stable.
