Port and polish it and get the piston borded out

I wanna get a cub cadet 3 speed woth a tranny dual over head cams with wheely bar and extended wheel base and its a 10 hp but will pull a 23 hp john deere backwards like its nothing

Its gear driven hydrosratic is less powerful

Gear driven is alot more powerful

All for 350 firm

Its also a 71 cub older is better

I usually get my cylinders bored, but I prefer a bearded piston now and then. :D

Haha ours is 17 HP but the front pulley is so much smaller than the back and there is no way to switch them. However, the blade drive is a little bigger than the wheel drive and they are both on the same axle under the engine, so we're trying to flip that to make it faster.

Just get a longer belt and run it at a angle. If you have hydro gear drive all you need to do is run the longer belt on the bigger of the stack pulley.

If you have hydrostatic drive running a higher pump speed will eventually wear the pump out, so you need to "clutch" the belt so your not over running the pump with no load on the unit.

The only down fall is clutching. If you have a manual clutch engagement you can run the belt through that. If you have a manual PTO engagement you can route the belt through that and make a hand clutch like the John Deere 60 models run. The pumps are tough but you can ruin them by over running.

Better yet, ever heard of the people who race ride on lawn mowers, at over 50 mph? Just remove the speed gov and you are fine.

Bad idea. Typical 1 and 2 cylinders industrial engines make their best horse power at/around 3400 to 3600 RPM's. Anything else is a waste of gas. Keep in mind I'm referring to stock engines, no modifications what so ever.

I was expecting a failed launch... lol.

Is it weird that I immediately tried to figure out how he got the balloon to fly off on command sealed up in a tube? :roll:

Mark, I think they had it connected to a clothes pin or something, and someone pulled it from the back with a piece of string to release it. I may be wrong, but that's how I would of done it.
