hello mow racers, i have a jd 111 that i have done some work to about four years ago nothing serious though, just simple stuff to make it fast. I changed the pullys put an ungoverned 18hp opposed twin briggs motor in it a gas pedal and welded the diff witch never held very long. me and my friends use to race in my back yard and i always had intentions on building it properly so i could compete around the state. unfourntunitly after having a daughter i put it on the back burner at the time, but now finally im ready to do it right but in need of some help on the specfics seeings how this will be my first true build, ive been doing some homework watching videos and checking out build threads on similar mowers.im just not sure on the specfics like axle lengths gearing etc etc, so im looking for someone who has experience in these areas as well as steering and suspension setups that i could bounce ideas off of and make sure im doing things right so i dont have to do things multiple times. Im a maintanince mechanic so welding and fabracating wont be an issue or getting raw materials for the build. ive decided id like to stay with some kind of a twin engine and run a peerless 700 gearbox or something equivelent that can handle a twin. so if you think you can lend a newb a hand or just some knowledge get a hold of me. thanks to all for reading and to heymow for making a build for a newb much easier with your bad*** forums!!!!
