Massey Ferguson 7
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:46:22 pm »
i would like to know if any body has ever tried making a racing mower out of one of these. Icant seem to find any engine that works well in it, and i blew the origional H70 :bash: any ideas? :confused: a good thing it has is the 3 speed transaxle( which is very heavy ) has a horizontal imput shaft so it should be easy to turn it into a racer.

 That's more of a garden tractor than a riding mower. Probably going to be a little too heavy to make a racing mower. Not saying it can't be done. Perhaps others could chime in.

Try a LOT too heavy.  I would use that for a pulling mower or in the garden!  Find a smaller tractor you will be much happier with the end result.

thats pretty cool. but, im going to take the easy way out. at my junk yard there is a wrecked mower, ill put my sheetmetal on it. i think it has a v twin in it, it has peerless 700 transmission thats perfect, a live axle setup motorcycle brakes, all it needs is new rear fenders a steering wheel and a new hood. if its still there when i get my paycheck ill get it and let you guys know about it, when i seen it i should have bought it
