How long to build
« on: May 25, 2014, 10:18:37 am »
Ok every1, heres the question. How fast do u think that u could build a competitive machine for a stock class using stock parts with budget of about 100 buks. U have a welder and a fairly equipd shop. Im on my third tractor and my average i figure would b about 40 hours start to finish. Thats including freeing siezed wheels and axle widening etc. With a crappy paint job lol.

pain and price are directly related to throttle position

By myself the fastest mower I've ever built was around 120 hours. I've built 5 now and my last one took around 175 hours with no paint work .3 of us built one last year in 3 days in about 20 hours. Stock class.These are all built with safety and built to last years of reliable racing. I find your way better of thinking things through while building , taking your time to build it right the first time!!

Of course finishd is a relative word as you. Have never really "finished" one yet. Lol.

If you can steal one, it takes about an hour.
