Thanks Guy's... The two pedals on the right are welded together to make a nice large brake pedal.
As for the pulleys and sprockets.... 6" on motor... 5" on tranny... 15 tooth on tranny...50 tooth on axle.
This was my first ever ride on a B/P and I must say You really need to respect the power these things have or you might get hurt! It is totally different from other mowers.
Again thanks for the compliments, I could not have done it without my buddy's at K & G racing. Dave

Tarp straps they sell @ TSC, they have a bump about every 5 inches, put a slightly straiter bend on the end of the S hooks! works very well!

This is probably one of the cleanest looking builds I've seen here. Very nice precision looking work. All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not going to be racing you! good job.

No, It is from a lawnmower junkyard. While I have the tranny apart race prepping it, I just clean the case really good with carb cleaner and paint it with hammered finish paint in a spray can, before I re-assemble them.
