This is my favorite tractor build on the entire internet. I found it on tik tok a few months ago. I LOVE this thing.
😁 Thanks. I appreciate it.
OK, that was the best 20 mins of my day😊 I'm not sure what is more impressive the low buck build or the fact the B/S engine will rev to 4 grand w/o the rids exiting the block 😊😂
Hahaha, thanks. The Briggs inteck V-twin is pretty tough. Or at least mine is. I've been running this exact engine for years like this. Doesn't even leak oil lol.
Thanks for watching
Has two of the best things ever: 1 sounds good, 2 it's fast.
This is the coolest crapsman iv seen. Applause 👏
Thank you 🚜💨💨💨💨
😂😂
Ok I can’t help myself. Gary looks like Chong. Cheech and Chong . Reminds me of motorbike in kitchen with the tailpipe out the window.?.? Anyone else see it?? Just talks more. Lol
Hahahaha. Greatest scene ever from "next movie" I can take that as a compliment I guess. I've been looking at some of my videos from last year, and yes, I was definitely letting it go a bit. But I love Cheach and Chong so it's all good.
23:16 lol
😂
Thats a BIG 10-4
No he don't😾
Really cool ideas for old riding lawnmower I built one myself back in 1997 lots of fun
Awesome thanks 👍🚜💨💨😁💨😁💨
This thing is crazy cool, thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
dont know how I ended up here but this guy is having to much fun
Hahaha, you are correct, sir. But not too much... just enough. Thanks for watching
Thats awesome. Yeah with the exhaust down the side and the shifter hanging off the side it really does remind me of an old indycar/ grand prix car
Thank you. If you haven't already, check out some of the latest videos. It's even closer to that vibe now.
That thing sounds awesome
😁 Thanks 😁
Nice, sounds pretty cool.
Thanks
Followed over from TikTok, love the creativity! I love making cool stuff with whatever is laying around
Thanks. Welcome to the channel. Im happy to share my passion for creating something out of nothing. 😁🚜💨🏁
That's wild man sounds amazing
Thank you
Oh yeah !!! awesome tractor!!!
@@johnkoury1116 Thank you
If you did that in my neighborhood, all the neighbors that are jealous would call. Oh, he riding the tractor on the road oh no last time I checked, we had the right happiness and to pursue things make us happy.
You just have to set those Karen's and Darren's straight. They stop calling
Really cool ideas
Thank you 👍 🚜💨💨💨
great stuff they are so powerfull they are putting the horizontal ones on motorbikes and from what i no, are going great cool video
Thanks. Yeah, there's a lot of potential in these little engines.
Dude thats awesome
Thanks
Very cool brother 😎
Thank you 👍 🚜💨💨💨
I love it nice work
Thank you I appreciate it. Thanks for watching 🚜💨💨
amazing bro i love it
Thank you
Good sport gocartractor 😎👍
I call them Mowcarts
@@raitshots Thanks
Dude that's fucking awesome!
Thanks 🚜 💨 💨💨
Brother that thing is freaking awesome you should build a body for it like a little model t or like a 30 pickup truck but miniaturized
@RockyMarciano-yw1tz Thank you. That's definitely a cool idea. I have something similar in mind for the future.
Time for a 4 link. Smooth ride lol
Hahaha, yeah, that would be rad. Thanks for watching
Cool as hell
Thank you
I think the 656cc's are 20 - 22hp and the plastic intakes are the early model intek intakes, i have a 656 22hp "john deere" labeled briggs with the 4 filter bolts and can find about no info on it, theres so many models and what not it gets confusing lol, i also think shaft size and charging amps is different specs on them to, idk but love the videos! And i belive you can change out most the gears from the mst 203 up to the 206.
This 656cc was original to this chassis. Around 1999 or so. 18.5hp aluminum intake and 1 inch crank. I upgraded the stator and voltage regulator to the higher amperage 3 wire style. Not 100%, but I do think the plastic intake is newer but could be wrong. I used to work for a mower shop for years and definitely saw some 20-22hp with it. But you're right about no info. Some newer ones also had a one barrel carburetor. Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the comment
how much horse has that brigs engine got, i have a westwood t1100 and i want to turn it into your type of racing mower, my engine only has 11hp on it and i don’t know what horse is expected for a racing mower, please can i have some advice
Front tires looked terrifying
Hahaha, yeah, they were all over the place. Not to mention, one spindle was bent with about 3 degrees of negative camber. If you haven't already, check out some of the more recent videos of it. It has changed quite a bit since I pulled it out in this video. Thanks for watching
Almost done with mine, currently running a 17hp Kawasaki single cylinder
Nice. Should be pretty decent. Those kawi singles are pretty good.
Swapping it out for a 22hp vtwin now
@@roadkillsf.f.cgarage386both of those are great engines!
Oh hell yeah
this is freakin awesome!! Do you have a build guide/did you film your process? I have a crasftsman i wanna mess with but dont really know where to start.. Thanks again love the Hot Rod Tractor!!
Thank you. I don't currently have a complete start to finish build series. But there are quite a few videos after this one of doing a lot more to it. The configuration in this video , I had built before I did UA-cam. I do have a long video showing and explaining pretty much everything about it, as it is now. There are also other projects I'm starting that you might be able to learn from. I just uploaded a video of a new project. If you have any questions or suggestions or anything particular you would like to see a video on, just let me know. I'm happy to help. Thanks a lot for watching.
Need to hook a trailer to that , get material , & fill them pot holes .
Haha. Yes, definitely. It's pretty bad.
O k , I f_cking love it ! Ive got some simular set ups . please get a helmet and real pants . Ive been killed a few times on these things , and it hurts real bad . lol .
did you do anything to stiffen up the shifter detent? Mine is super loose
No. On some transaxles, it's adjustable with a set screw on top of the trans. My last mst206 had it, but I just looked, and the one I have now does not. But look near where the shifter arm is on the trans. If there's a set screw tighten it.
Far out man, I had to say that, young version of Tommy Chong, great video that thing is badass
@@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443 hahaha awesome, thank you. You're the second viewer to make that connection 😆😆
Hey man, new to channel. What's the mpgs on that roadhog lol. Man can she move lol.
Nice my mower has a 18.5 Briggs single cylinder and I’m going to straight pipe it lol 😅
But I might swap it for a 16 hp Honda v twin
Awesome. My friend has an 18.5 briggs single, and it's almost as fast as mine. But it sounds like a 4 stroke dirt bike lol. Nothing like the music of the V-twin
@thechannel9637 now your talking 👍
Crap why did I see this video now I want to do this to my wheel horse. I got so many projects going on at the moment.
Haha, thanks for watching brother. I know what you mean. Too many projects is a way of life, and I love it. Thanks again
The drivers side/ left side wheel look wobbly almost like the bearings are starting to go you might want to jack it up off the ground and check
Yeah, I saw that after I watched the video. It's actually just a keyed axle shaft and and the tolerance has worn a bit. Looks worse than it is.
Does it have a PTO for discing or mowing in back?😎
No, it doesn't. That would really be cool if it did.
Dude so f ing 😮kool
Thanks 🚜 💨 😁💨💨💨
R.I.P. Gary's left leg
This is cool. How did you get a speed gauge to work on this
@@greenmachine55 It's a tachometer. It reads engine RPM. I have a video called "2 step on a race mower" that goes over how a tach is wired to a mower engine. Thanks for watching
How much was this to build? I wanna build one for my self.
^
Whats the MPG on it?
Sounds like a harley
The second shifter for the Peerless??? That 2 spd ??
The other lever is the brake. It's connected directly to the original transaxle parking brake. The transaxle is a Peerless mst206 6-speed.
@DieselFuelNetwork ok nice I just bought a race mower 5spd with a 15.5 briggs
Can list all the main parts stuff you had to get it to this point? Like pulleys and such
@RoubidouxCreekOutdoors hey, sorry, I only just saw your comment. I do have a fully detailed video on everything I've done to it. You may have already seen it at this point. It's from a couple of months ago. Thanks for watching
@@DieselFuelNetwork thanks brother, go register to vote !!!!!
How did you hook up the rpm gauge ?
I think I went over that in my "2-step on a race mower" video. But basically, the small black wire at the back of the magneto-coil, which grounds to shut off the engine. That is what you connect the tach signal wire to. For a twin cylinder, the tack is set to 4 cylinder mode, as most tachs only have 4-6-8 settings. Should be the same for a single, I think.
If you put smaller tires on all the way around, It would help with stability at high speeds.
Highly unlikely.
@@BlainesGarage I made that comment to help the Driver out a bit. I have built 4 racing lawn mowers in my time. I thought the way you did at one time, until I nearly wrecked one at 50 mph.
Then, I started paying attention to details like, tire size, front tire angles, Stabilize steering mechanisms, and low ground clearances. The Point is BE SAFE.
@@fleamine lol. I’ve only built one. And no, you didn’t think like me. I think what you’re trying to say is that lowering the center of gravity “by putting smaller tires on” may help with stability, but his issues here are occurring just trying to maintain a straight line down the road, not a circle track.
In this case, which is common with virtually all lawnmower axles, is there is very little king pin inclination designed into the front spindles, and zero caster angle, which results in weave and wander at speed, bump steer, and higher steering effort. The KPI can only be fixed by cutting and re-welding the axle to increase the angle and bending the spindles to match, OR run LARGER tires to bring that angle closer to the centerline on the tires. This will eliminate bump steer and the high steering effort. Running smaller tires will only increase all of the issues caused by the lack of KPI. Adding 2° to 3° of caster to an axle with proper KPI will then give the steering a self centering ability and will return to center after a turn, eliminating the weave and wander, but too much caster can increase steering effort and impact shimmy. Obviously a slight amount of toe-in is critical also for proper handling so as when all of the play tightens up moving forward, all 4 tires are pointing straight ahead.
Camber isn’t very critical for handling but i try to shoot zero or a tad negative to keep that centerline closer to the KPI.
I ran a bomb-proof full bearing 3 speed peerless 600 with welded diff, with a double stacked pulley and a derailleur to switch between the two, actuated by a full travel kick of the clutch. I ran 60mph+ on a 1/3 mile clay oval track, drifting in the turns, dusting briggs twins with my little 11hp single. A kick of the clutch to one pulley to power through the turns, and a kick of the clutch coming out of the turn to switch to the other pulley for top speed down the straightaways. Hands never had to leave the steering wheel, which i needed both on the wheel just to hang on.
It’s been gone for years, but you can still search most of my page on the wayback machine here.

Is the transmission stock to that or is it swapped in?
It's the stock mower transaxle. Peerless-mst206 6 speed. The only mod is that the differential is welded. And of course, the drive pulley sizes are changed to overdrive it.
It looks like a blast now I want to build one lol
what is the name of this mini tractor?
I just call it the "Hot-Rod-Tractor" it started as a late 90s Craftsman and the body is 80s Agway. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Belt us chaine . Motorcycles chain this gocartrator 😂hahaha. But chain good fixsed . Real long time work. Belt not long and deformed (flight aut)
death on wheels
😵 🚜💨
Is it chain drive?
It's belt drive. It's still utilizing the stock mower belt system with a 1/2" V-belt. A chain wouldn't be possible without some kind of friction clutch. With a belt drive, the clutch simply releases the tension on the belt. The belt is pretty stout but doesn't last very long.
I just subscribed can you show me how to build one i like this video
@yaboy8666 Thanks. I appreciate it. Sorry, I just saw your comment. I must have missed it before. I have an overview video on this machine. Since you subscribed, you have probably already seen it. If there's anything particular you are interested in seeing, let me know. I could always use ideas for new videos. Thanks for watching and subbing
😂😂😂😂💪😎👍
How much to do my lawn?
😆😁😆 🚜💨💨💨💨💨 I can do it, but when I'm done, there probably won't be any more grass, lol
@@DieselFuelNetwork what do you charge? LoL
Should I make something like this for my engineering class?
If you really want to go all out, you could do something similar and figure out a suspension setup for it. That would take some proper engineering.
@@DieselFuelNetwork Thank you for the idea, I have developed suspension systems for small vehicles before, so this would be a fun challenge! With all that said, love all the effort you put into such an amazing machine!
Is it For Sale
No, it's not. Thanks
put some shocks on it
It's not that simple. Especially with the belt drive. But I will possibly be doing a future build that incorporates suspension.
someone's got to much time on there hands
@@austinlabelle7482 haha, so who would that be, you for watching my video, or me for producing the video. Just saying. No disrespect, thanks for watching 👍
@@DieselFuelNetwork holy moly it was a joke, ok. you got all serious lawn mower man on me...
@austinlabelle7482 Brother, I'm joking too 🤦♂️ hence the "no disrespect" part. I couldn't help myself. Lately, it's hard to tell who's serious. All good. Sorry if you took that the wrong way.
