Newbie and his first build
« on: December 13, 2016, 01:31:01 pm »
So I am going to dive into the sport of mower racing.. I've raced cars since I could drive and wanted to get into another form or racing that isn't so expensive (not that mower racing can't be expinsive just not near like cars!) My build will be a John deer gt 262 with a 17 hp kawi fc540 series. Peerless 600 trans. Any advice or info to give to a newcomer?

Thanks!

WELCOME!!!

Advice?  Get with the group you are going to race with before you do ANYTHING to your mower.    Look at mowers.  Read the rules.   RE Read the rules!   Decide which class you want to run and start building!

I'd recommend a governed class if you want to stay cheap.
