Cool vid . Brian is young , at 53 I require shocks on my toys ! My mower beats the crap out of me ! The wife and I are still running our `87 Hondas mine is a 350 rancher 4x4 , hers is a 200 Fourtrax , thousands of hours on them , still run great ! PS her 200 will smoke my rancher !
Loved the video. That thing sounds bad ass. Just on thing. Easier to measure the diameter than the circumference. Both give you the same number. Did this when I changed my Jeep tires. Went from 30 inch tires to 33 inch tires. 10% change. This how I figured the gear ratio change I needed.
Hey Mustie1, Nice fix on that pulley, when one works on this kind of stuff, one realizes how important it is to find center, especially with a chain drive, hope U enjoyed the cruise!
You got to love the kohlers, i have a 27hp on my husqvarna mower but im using a vanguard 18 on my old yard pro to rip around on. I have a old Ford, 2 JD,s a roper and 2 husqvarnas sitting around
Of course only one headlight works on that mower! Not sure how loud that was without a muffler, I'm sure not Harley loud, but Brian needs to buy a bottle of something for his neighbors after that test run at night! -lol
Ive had a couple of vdubs flood after their were warmed up and it was too much fuel pump pressure ...I put more gaskets under the pump flange and it cures the problem... nice to have a fuel pressure gauge to help determine if thats it.. have to check those after market parts !! happy buggin !
Hey there . I really love your vids. I'm from London England and have watched every you tube post I CAN find... not to be too over the top , but your channel and you inspire me and spark my dislecksik brain into positive thinking with every video... thank you and don't ever stop. Sincerely Sam Gilmour uk
Always like your videos, keep up the good work! UA-cam says my browser can't play any known video types so I'll try again tomorrow. I still gave it a like (sight unseen) 'cause you never fail to educate and entertain!
It did go faster, but (there always is one) it would have lost some pullaway. He needs a small car gearbox and clutch lol :-D. Good to see others driving the old vw's :-)
Cool mower. Thing sounds pretty good with the open exhaust. You must live near Portsmouth, cuz that's exactly where you were at on that drive with those other busses. I'm from upstate NY, but I used to go to Portsmouth to Bavarian Autosport for the big BMW show n shine event every year with a whole convoy of us bimmer heads and we definitely used to go on drives through that same exact section. Very nice area and good people. Also pretty cool how the NH liquor stores have exit ramps right off the highway. We don't have anything like that up here. I'd consider even moving out there. Nice place. Keep up the good content sir! Its enjoyable.
Mustie1 is too much, I see but do not believe. He's a small engine repairman. He's an automobile mechanic. He's a welder. Now I see, that he is also a Machinist. What other profession has he got? Amazing !!!
Another great How-to video without all the useless banter/chatter that so often accompanies the How-To guru YT video scene. The cruise scene is testament to that with no human faces, only dog faces. Hey, Hoonigan's -are you listening? Nope.
Guess I gotta take back all that I said about you using poor Brian for a winch motor , you helped build up his muskles.. don't need no darn spinich . them ther dial calipers aint yor magic hammer did you forget????
About the best part of the machine, the cool way he mounts up. I'd rate the machine higher if he got a set of "slicks" for on-road use, and fixed the other headlight, lol... Still, looks like it was a fun project.
I did the same thing with my mower. unfortunately, I don't have a lathe, so I fired up the mower and ran a zip wheel in a grinder along the weld until it came free. I cut both pulleys off and put the deck pulley in the drive pulley's old position. luckily there was a shoulder on the tube to square it up. with a bit of tapping, I got it to 18 thou and said good enough.
Man I just got jealous! I have been searching for weeks for a pulley over here, and no one has anything. Every garage, machine shop, mechanic I've contacted says they throw away those things when they get them... The only thing I've found is possibly a new pulley and taper boss for the nice price of ~$125 😛
Same thing the «Pd 3» plated, Won't be luxuriant job build an exhaust the engine on drilled triangles based box ... 3 triangle almost equilaterals The two middle one's drilled 3 times on base one time on up to get tubes "pipes" in ... The start one's drilled once in the middle for brian, the other two times on the base ... The ends one drilled on the up ... Using perforated pipes wheter the middle's ones or back-feed ones, At least on the upper one, you'll "break" the engine beat ... Means four triangles, four pipes, an envelope some cuts, drills, and welds works, a bit a rockwhool to absorb "vibration" and you'll have a factory brand new custom made exhaust ... But, well ... Gosh, I'm late ! Nasty Mustie ...
Yesterday I was pulling my cushman gas gxt875, and I was using a lawnmower to pull it and I accidentally flipped it. 😑🤣🤣 I was fine, and my friend said sick wheelie dude.
Mustie. I am about to do my first VW 1300 seal job. I have a few questions about sealing. Paper seals are included in the kit for block to cylinder and copper rings for the head. I don't know what should I use. Some channels say not to use anything to seal the engine. What do you recomend?? Also what do you apply to seal the lifter tubes and plastic seals?? Thanks. Andy
I towed a pinto 60 miles one time, with a VW bus. When we arrived, the brakes on the pinto were almost on fire. Turned out the idiot in the car, had the brakes on, as hard as he could, for the entire trip, because he was afraid. He even complained about his leg, because he had pushed so hard for the entire tip. Bus never even flinched.
My son told me he had a customer bring their car to the Lexus dealership complaining of a strong gasoline odor. He takes the car to his bay...sure enough..gas odor. Opens the trunk...partially filled gas can.....
Um, Brian needs to find an old snowmobile. Put the engine, clutches, chaincase and exhaust in that tractor. They go like mad when that's done. Chain drive to the rear. Don't forget a tensioner. It will be a good video too. Hint, hint. Come on, you know ya wanna, lol.
stevenwithanS If you wanted to drag race it maybe, but it’s better to have a gearbox for going through the woods. A two stroke sled motors would load up and foul plugs
Yooo is that a 3 speed with high and low? I’m tryna figure out a good pulley set up for mine but can’t seem to find a good combo? I’m running a 5in up front and 5 in rear and only getting 11-12mph
Hey bud i got a question if u dont mind im working on a budget build i found a riding lawn mower late 70s i cut a hole to mount a push mower engine 6.5 horsepower. Do u think it make any high speed passes ive got it all motor installed with belt pully system still work on but is it possible to get speed from the toro 6.5 push mower engine thank great videos bud
brians channel here, ua-cam.com/channels/TT9mT4UQanMH-rGm_ZUB3w.html
Mustie1
Brian’s channel doesn’t come up. Says error
type in vwnut 1967 on the search bar while in UA-cam
I would say he liked what was done to his mower/racer
Hyperlink works fine for me, and Subbed. Thanks Brian!

I think that the majority of viewers would not realize the skill that it took to do that pully swap. Mustie is a master at making something out of nothing.
skill or right tools for the job?
Neighbors must love you.
Well he might fix their cars if they pay him, so yeah.
Mustie that was pullyfantastic no belt slippigedge here made my Sunday funday , plus a baby dino!!! Lol!!!
0:09 OMG! I bloody knew it, Mustie has three hands!
Cool vid . Brian is young , at 53 I require shocks on my toys ! My mower beats the crap out of me ! The wife and I are still running our `87 Hondas mine is a 350 rancher 4x4 , hers is a 200 Fourtrax , thousands of hours on them , still run great ! PS her 200 will smoke my rancher !
I can’t believe I’ve watched your channel since 7k subs I’ve seen almost all of your amazing videos and seen the channel really grow
Loved the video. That thing sounds bad ass. Just on thing. Easier to measure the diameter than the circumference. Both give you the same number. Did this when I changed my Jeep tires. Went from 30 inch tires to 33 inch tires. 10% change. This how I figured the gear ratio change I needed.
I'll bet the neighbors just LOVE this!
Glad Brian got it running and even running faster! Nice pulley addition welding!
Hey Mustie1, Nice fix on that pulley, when one works on this kind of stuff, one realizes how important it is to find center, especially with a chain drive, hope U enjoyed the cruise!
Lots of work but definitely worth the results. Thanks, Mustie!!
I like the squeaky reptile, perfect sign off!
Nice shot of Hampton Beach! Three buses in a row!!!
You got to love the kohlers, i have a 27hp on my husqvarna mower but im using a vanguard 18 on my old yard pro to rip around on. I have a old Ford, 2 JD,s a roper and 2 husqvarnas sitting around

Man. Your neighbors must LOVE you! ;)
What beautiful house overlooking the sea...........
Nice to see you the wife and the dog out enjoying Lucy for the day
From 13 to 18 inches with too much load. That's some upgrade. Nice video as always.
I have never see that done to a lawn tractor good job. Nice to see that 'VW running down the road,nice country and shore line.
thank you for all the help sir
The good old Volkswagen Icebox. I had a Vanagen that had a gasoline fired heater in it .It would smoke you out of the van . lol
Ive had a couple of vdubs flood after their were warmed up and it was too much fuel pump pressure ...I put more gaskets under the pump flange and it cures the problem... nice to have a fuel pressure gauge to help determine if thats it.. have to check those after market parts !! happy buggin !
Love the shot of the vans in the rear view!
That mower sounds good!
Who knew they could sound like
A hot rod!

Looks alot faster.... awesome vw bus tour
Please may we have a tutorial on mowing mud please
Its done very carefully ; )
Oh and it should only be done by trained professionals
Uk Mud 😂😂funny sh!t!
The mud mower doesn't have a mower deck. Can't do it ,sorry.
you made that look easy buddy good job
DriveShaft Drew Ikr lol
Reminds me that i have to sort my pulley stash. Went in to get a replacement, left 3 hours later...why can't shops auto sort themselves?
Always like your videos, keep up the good work! UA-cam says my browser can't play any known video types so I'll try again tomorrow. I still gave it a like (sight unseen) 'cause you never fail to educate and entertain!
Yep, youtube finally let me watch this video 24+hrs later!
You could use roofing tar on the container. Good thing about those shipping containers is if you do find a hole you can weld it.
I love Rt1a heading down to Hampton I miss it now that I live in Fla
Mustie, gotta luv a box of goodies.
very nice scenery at end
It did go faster, but (there always is one) it would have lost some pullaway.
He needs a small car gearbox and clutch lol :-D.
Good to see others driving the old vw's :-)
you are the bob ross of small engine brother. You cool man.
Cool mower. Thing sounds pretty good with the open exhaust.
You must live near Portsmouth, cuz that's exactly where you were at on that drive with those other busses.

21:22 you woke up my dog! you need to have a squeaky toy warning next time ;P
Your channel is so awesome...

You gatta post more @mustie1 i love you video's
Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your family and may God bless you
hi from Brazil! huge fan
You have to build one now you and Brian can go muding. Great videos
If I remember right Mustie said he was going to build one.
I think their are videos of one he has already
Mustie doesn't have one.
Another great How-to video without all the useless banter/chatter that so often accompanies the How-To guru YT video scene. The cruise scene is testament to that with no human faces, only dog faces. Hey, Hoonigan's -are you listening? Nope.
Nice ride at the end . . . . :) Rog
Guess I gotta take back all that I said about you using poor Brian for a winch motor , you helped build up his muskles.. don't need no darn spinich . them ther dial calipers aint yor magic hammer did you forget????
years ago we'd swap the front and rear pulleys from various junk mowers, lots of fiddling to get it how you liked :)
Got to love the VW oorn at the end of this video. But Crusty needs to come out and play sometime too.
Sounds like a hopped up Indian now! Time for a real gear box. 🔥
Just wondering why you didnt use an indicator gauge and shims on the lathe work.
Great all round video bro.
Cool little mud bogger!
Too much load? nah, not a problem. Something tells me there's going to be a blown engine before the winter is out on his mower :-)
Muscle Mower! That thing makes a glorious noise
You Guys, lol.....nothings quite fast enough, great video
A cold cruise right there...👍
16:45 For Brian's fancy leg overs! ;)
About the best part of the machine, the cool way he mounts up. I'd rate the machine higher if he got a set of "slicks" for on-road use, and fixed the other headlight, lol... Still, looks like it was a fun project.

I found some online at oreilleys website for 6$ for 4.5" with 1.5" bore.. 6" for 20..
Same thing the «Pd 3» plated,
Won't be luxuriant job build an exhaust the engine on drilled triangles based box ...
3 triangle almost equilaterals

The ends one drilled on the up ...

But, well ...
Gosh, I'm late !
Nasty Mustie ...
VWNUT? Love it. And here I thought my 1STGHIA was cool.
Yesterday I was pulling my cushman gas gxt875, and I was using a lawnmower to pull it and I accidentally flipped it. 😑🤣🤣 I was fine, and my friend said sick wheelie dude.
Hey Mustie, have a happy Thanksgiving.
the mower sounds fast
Looks solid
Mustie. I am about to do my first VW 1300 seal job. I have a few questions about sealing. Paper seals are included in the kit for block to cylinder and copper rings for the head. I don't know what should I use. Some channels say not to use anything to seal the engine. What do you recomend?? Also what do you apply to seal the lifter tubes and plastic seals?? Thanks. Andy
4:20 weee :D the squeaky toy rofl. youll need to for go the pulley system and do a transmission. theres gotta be something that will attach to it.
Do you lose torque when only upgrading the drive pulley to a bigger one ?
As mustie clanks the precision measuring device against the stash inventory items...lol
Hey Mustie, enjoy your video's! Would love to see you build a Chopper using a 20hp v twin mower engine since you like building bikes!
I towed a pinto 60 miles one time, with a VW bus. When we arrived, the brakes on the pinto were almost on fire. Turned out the idiot in the car, had the brakes on, as hard as he could, for the entire trip, because he was afraid. He even complained about his leg, because he had pushed so hard for the entire tip. Bus never even flinched.
they towed the car while it was in first gear.. i dont think you understand what he was saying
My son told me he had a customer bring their car to the Lexus dealership complaining of a strong gasoline odor. He takes the car to his bay...sure enough..gas odor. Opens the trunk...partially filled gas can.....
Um, Brian needs to find an old snowmobile. Put the engine, clutches, chaincase and exhaust in that tractor. They go like mad when that's done. Chain drive to the rear. Don't forget a tensioner. It will be a good video too. Hint, hint. Come on, you know ya wanna, lol.

here, we have a group of motorcycle guys who cover their heads with handkerchiefs, for safety :)
Yooo is that a 3 speed with high and low? I’m tryna figure out a good pulley set up for mine but can’t seem to find a good combo? I’m running a 5in up front and 5 in rear and only getting 11-12mph
Nice hardware store😁
now I need to build an offroad tractor.
Now that’s a fast mower
Nice welding
Yessssss! Amazing video....
How much would you charge to build me a 6.5 pulley for opposed twin shaft
Little tinkering works a treat
Mustie. Come to Maine, I have a 13x36 gear head lathe for sale that would take care of your needs. 2 grand.
Can never have too much load 😁
My dog went bananas at the end when she heard the squeaky toy :)
Hey bud i got a question if u dont mind im working on a budget build i found a riding lawn mower late 70s i cut a hole to mount a push mower engine 6.5 horsepower. Do u think it make any high speed passes ive got it all motor installed with belt pully system still work on but is it possible to get speed from the toro 6.5 push mower engine thank great videos bud
16;35 ish whats the things bottom right crawling in to your work shop ?(they sparkle)
Nice pulley upgrade however the owner is somewhat inconserate by not waiting till daylight to run the mower
Net the neighbors loved the NO muffler
An amerikan once stated this, much is good more is better to much is just enough so go BIG
HEY, I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE!!! RT,1
Your neaighbors must want to hold ur head under water to qwiet down the neighborhood...
Fun stuff
Next time try using a dial indicator on the pulley. Make things easier.
How does it back fire
Back in the seventies I had a friend that did the same with a lawnmower, cept his had a car battery and c.b.radio
