Nice! Mine was a lowered & chopped Rhino lined mid 90s MTD mower with a Briggs opposed twin I/C 20hp. I had ribbed golf cart meaty slicks on the back & red rims & whitewall tire paint. "there's a pic on my page" It was running a comet 40 series cvt to stock belt speed changer then rear end via a vertical jackshaft & pilowblock berrings & a u shaped pice of heavy sheet metal bolted to the frame under the dash. The battery was mounted in board the frame just behind the right footboard & I used its old tierod ball pices as chargeing lugs sticking out the side to clamp Frankenstein cables on😁. Should of ran a belt from jackshaft to smaller pulley on rear end derectley & got rid of the other stuff as it did'nt go very fast. The 20 hp would of been Wild with headers! "also on an old dunecycle or sand buggy too"✌👍

After seeing this Ive got the itch now😅. I have a 48" cut Lawn Machine with a 16.5 hp engine that i bought 10 yrs ago sitting in my garage. I traded a wore out 12hp murry and 100 bucks for the Lawn Machine. It was to big for my yard, and i spent more time backing up and going in circles, just trying to mow my lawn. I figured out it was quicker to cut it with the push mower, so i parked the rider. All it needs is a hot battery and a fresh tank of gas. I took a few laps around the neighborhood on it two years ago. Im 60yrs old now. I may not lower it, but my old ass is going to have some fun! Thanks, guys, for the motivational video!
