Hey all Just seeing if anyone has any advice on setup of this build..Not alot of rules i have to follow besides the frame has to sit 6" off the ground, 38" wheelbase, 20hp max manufature displacement with no mods, shiftable transmission, 6" wheels in the front and 8" in the back, must have something that resembles a mower deck. The mower is an older rugg. I have a new 20hp briggs intek twin. peerless 700 tranny, 1 1/4" live axle with a mcp brake setup. 15" turfs on the back and 13" on the front. the tracks that it will see will mostly be ovals that have 150' straights. i setup the front axle with 10 degrees tilt in and 8 degrees back. front wheelbase is 38" and the rear is 37", front axle to rear is 40 1/2". i have not figured out what pulleys or sprocket sizes any suggestions?... I am going to use a handlebar setup with a thumb throttle. I have not decided whether i should use a hand or foot brake. Clutch setup will be a t style using 4" pulleys with the clutch pedal being on the right side of the mower. Any advice would help!
