Hi, I'm Jeff. This is where I grew up, my Father is a lawn mower mechanic. Now I'm just about 30, but as a child my past time was to pick out a mower and modify it. Of course he would'nt let me destroy a "John Deere", but he let me do what ever I wanted to the genaric ones. He used to have more riders, but the city made him clean up his yard, so now he only has the J-D's.
By the time I was 15 I had built about 4 racing mowers. The most I did to them was just change the pullies and sprokets to up the gear ratio, I would leave the motor's and ride hight stock, sure made for a fun ride.
My favorite was an old "Lawn Lion", it was a 8hp electric start front engine mower, I had the ratio set up so high I would have to start out in 1st gear, then bang though all 3 speeds. That sucker was quick. But I could go on and on, but I'll quite now. Just wanted to say hi.
What do the peerless gear box's come from that you guy's are allways talking about, and you guy's only use one gear while racing?
