Topic: time to build a fx/pro-x for 2013!

[blake hasting]

the body on the mower will be a old mtd style I have just now had a change to post some pics so here is a few days of working on it and ill stay posted ever time I do something to it from here outi it will have a vertical shaft engine ran to a ragb. lets get our build on! 

[Darkviper]

If your running a brigs vertical single cyclinder engine. I will warn you if you use a stock crank get it balanced or get a billet one. Else you could end up like mine snapped in half. I just learned the hard way.

[blake hasting]

did you have a lot of motor work on yours? I don't plan on doing a lot just a few mods my prockets ant to deep lol 

[Darkviper]

In terms of billet rod, cam, valve retainers, shaved head, arc flywheel. Just fx style motor built.

[blake hasting]

my main focus at the moment is just the chasis ill get to motor later onalso anyone got good suggestion on sprocket setup I got a 18th clutch and im going to run a RAGB so what tooth shouth I run on bottom on RAGB side of it and im prolly going to run a 40 on the axle

sorry for the bad picture quality all I got is my phone to take pictures

[Darkviper]

I fond one in a junk yard check there. It came off a lawn more deck make sure you get the spline peice then you just weld shaft on spline piece. theres your sprocket on your right angle gear box.
