Ever had your "Better Half " complain
about "Our yard is looking like something from "Ma an Pa Kettle?"
or your girlfriend complain about "YOUR JUNK" collection?
or are you just bored and need something cool to do?
Well, now lets turn that JUNK into something !!! XTREME !!!
Wiring Harness---OUT....Engine-----OUT.........Everything is coming apart.
Wiring Harness---OUT....Engine-----OUT.........Everything is coming apart.
Now getting to the frame!!! This mower frame is a two piece.
Nice "PILE eh?....Now its time to clean up the two piece frame.
After welding corners and adding steel to the body for strength.....every nut,bolt and washer is "NEW"
OOOHHH yeah...fancy washers and spacers and such!!
The fenders and more body work is next!! Dad's helper - "The Prince of Missing Sockets."
Some say "Opposed Twin don't work in high RPM's"..................Well we tend to differ....... its in the middle of an upgrade.
Before mounting, first you need to make sure everything fits good!
Next up is finishing the engine, bench test, then the hood and front grill. Time to turn that into something "XTREME"
Here are the front rims.....see how PLAIN these look??.....YUK OH look how PIMP these can look......I'm almost finished with one and will be starting the other, soon!!!
Lowered the rear 3 inches.
The front grill is bolted down....Front spindles are going to be custom made.
Low ---- Stretched --- and getting there.........
Right under the "BIRD FEEDER" I placed a block of wood under the hood before I fasten it to the front grill....I may get rid of the finger. I'm not sure yet.
Out with the WIMPY plastic bushing, time for metal ones..welded in place. These are custom DROP spindles, half way finished.
You may ask ....("Where is the tire going to ride on??....How about grease???....")
Hey ...............are ya CRAZY?? I can't show you ALL my PIMP TRICKS...HEH
Yeah, I'm waiting for Motor Parts........
11 to 1 ratio.....Time to break it down an modify....."F....N....and R" is all it has.
I have one rear finished, one more to go!!!
Finally finished with the engine, great internal mods!!! as well as outside.
Back on the table so the drive system can be worked on!! as well as the steering.
After making sure everything fits....then its time to "PPPYYMP" it out more!
Start and on/off switch on diamond plate................Dual exhaust in the middle,before being finished
The front will house the battery...only if there was a GOOD ONE out there. This steering mod will not use the gear..."hint"
The "stretched" steering set up.....the steering gear plate will be needed though!!! This mod will allow the use of the factory set-up
OHHH yeah!!, The steering is very firm and works!! After the bracket is welded, the steering rod would be installed from under..see? Don't forget to add grease!!!!!
This is the manual choke set-up......cut to length. The coil wrapped around the steel wire unscrews so cutting is easy.
Throttle control made from a ten-speed brake handle. The mower in the foreground has a simalier set up.
OH that baby blue color has to go!!!
From the steering wheel to the carb. Links are all from a ten-speed...
The bottom exhaust tubing before and the top is after ... OOOHHHH nice and shiney!!
