Since I was a young boy, I have always liked lawn mowers. When I was in 8th grade, I started looking for a lawn mower just for around the yard work and offroading. I lucked out when my neighbor didn't want their old mower anymore, the mower had flat tires, a rusty deck, a bad battery, starter motor, solenoid, and engine. When I got the mower I removed the deck, slimed the flat tires, and swapped the 10HP Briggs engine from a MTD YardBug. Then came the extra modifications. I added a gas pedal and a custom choke cable so I would have more control of the engine while it was running. I also welded a cracking part of the front column to add stability. In the future I plan to weld the differential and pulley swap as my next mods. I have taken this mower through mud, water, and snow; hauled trailers with this mower and I have flipped this mower and gotten it stuck in ditches, but even after all of this, it still runs like a champ and has plenty of power. This mower will start even on the coldest of days no problem.\r
BRACKETRY- Welded Front Column\r
ENGINUITY- I was lucky to have an engine available\r
F*%!N MINT- This mower runs like a champ and always starts\r
TUNER TASTE- I added a gas pedal which would add more horsepower over the normal riding mower throttle control.\r
Drivable- It runs and drives, but not street legally, and the brakes are garbage. It's top speed is only 7MPH at 3600RPM because I haven't pulley swapped it yet.
