Burwell555 & GRUBDIGGER - Couldn't I keep it a transaxle or is that frowned upon?

If it's a Kawasaki FB540 it's 17hp.yeah - my bad, I'm assuming I pulled that .5 out of the air for no apparent reason whatsoever lol - thanks for the clarification.
Transaxle has transmission and rear axle combined into one unit. Live axle uses a tranny separate from the rear axle and most of the time uses a chain to drive it.Oh - it's a transaxle then
Personally, I would say GP/ModXR/CPR whatever its called.Well, I was thinking on using two sets of the front tires from a regular mower. Sorry, I know how things work, not what they're called most of the time = transaxle or live axle - what's the difference?
As for lowering it to 4 inches, what are you using for tires, wheels, transaxle or live axle?? I have a 180 and posted build pics of the first edition of it about 2 years ago. Should still be in this section. But my latest and greatest, Im keeping to myself.
What do you have in mind for frame bracing? So far it looks like your just getting it disassembled too start on it.
I can tell you one thing, make sure you brace the top of the channels on both sides at the top where it's notched. I found out the hard way and lost a good mower due to not bracing it there. Or at least that's where mine bent after a nasty crash.so brace the frame itself?

Little bit about me... I live the dream everyday... Racing is my life but my family comes first. I love to help everyone and anyone on and off the track. Need any advise I'm your man. If I don't know I know someone that does lol.. Going on my third season and still going strong. If you ain't first your last.
Thoughts would be easier to give if your pics would show up and were clickable, What Ideas do you have so far??yeah for some reason my links don't work - todays a different day - I'll try again.
And use the shortest tire you will run. If you build it to turf masters, turf-pros will make you short!Oh my... why isn't everything easy?
HEY!!
We are not here to teach people how to cheat!
And besides that...
....quit giving my secrets away! LOL
WHAT KAW IS 17.5? A JD 180 COMES WITH A 17 HP FC540V.Sorry - a little ignorance on my part mixed with "What was I thinking?!" lol
when I built my sportsman, I set the frame on 2 pieces of 4" blocking. Then when I fabbed everything up, i knew it was always at the right height.
