Good idea, I don't know if I have the tools to do that though. :(





I'll be painting as soon as the humid weather goes away. I got gloss black on the wheels when I meant to use flat black. Oops.

Okay thanks. Once I take that clip out, the wheel should slide off? I'm not gonna race it, so no worries there just need to take the wheels off to access something and to paint them.

I took the cap of the wheel off and found this.



Not sure what to do yet to take the wheel off. I don't want to try until I can jack it up.

Also got these off. I just had to yank!

Remove the rubber in the center of the front tires with channel locks and there's a hair pin  under the cap remove that with needle nose pliers.   Now the plastic floor pads squeeze the plastic clip under the pad with pliers and lift up slowly
Thank you!
I'll give these a shot and let you know how it goes.

Also, here is a quick photoshopped image:


Before:


I wanted to visualize just several of the things I'll be doing.

Long time no see.

Nice weather so I did a little work on the mower, painting some random crap and kinda planning out what I want to do next, which I think will be drop the deck to clean it and paint it with bedliner.



Also, how do I take my wheels off? I need to clean and paint them.


And what about these things? They are held down with these plastic things and they won't squeeze through the holes.


Thanks

The video shows the noise(s) and where they come from. The mower was hooked up to my car battery for over an hour to charge so I don't think it is the battery.

Thanks!

And no, I do not. I'm mostly building it for fun, something to play with. I don't know if I'll be entering actual races with this one.

Not sure yet. I didn't find out until 30 minutes ago that hydrosatic's kinda suck stink for speed.

My options at this point are doing a tranny swap or just using this for general mowing/show.

Hey zombie hunters,

I finally got my mower, which is a Scott (John Deere) that needs a little work. I have plans on, if possible, turning it into a racing mower. But until then, I'm working on it's appearance, and I'm taking a zombie outbreak response vehicle theme.

Plans:
- Custom military themed paint job.
- Black/armored wheels.
- Supply/medical bag mounted on hood and another one next to seat.
- Pistol mount on side of hood.
- Axe mounted on rear of mower.
- And a zombie hunting permit slapped on.

If I'm not very active on this forum, I do have a Tumblr blog where you can follow my progress. http://zombieoutbreakmower.tumblr.com

Build (to date)

Got her home (yesterday). She won't start, but we'll take care of that soon enough.


Took her hood and grill apart for paint prep (yesterday).




And the rest of this is today's progress.







Friend came over and cleaned the carb and tried to get it running, but she wouldn't start.

Got a few more ideas and we're gonna give it a shot tomorrow.

Hey guys, my name is Craig.

My friend and I are building a racing mower, and this is what I got to work with.



I know it's a hydrostatic, but it was free and it was all I got.

I've made some progress, but I'll show that off in the build section.
