In this episode, I put a couple more tires on the back of the pulley swap Poulan. It was super easy and it did good in the mud. I hope you LIKE it. Thanks for watching.

If you use a jam nut on the inside wheel for the stud, it will line it up better and strengthen the stud against bending from torque. It made a world of difference on mine.
Thanks for the tip and I have already did a better system with tractor tires. Thanks for watching.
good heavens- don't ever grow up, please! I still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard watching you play in the puddle- I love it!!!
With comments like this, I will be back in the mud tomorrow! Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment!
OK, watched again, laughed so hard I woke my husband, he looked at the dualie tires, asked why you put those on, and I replied, "Because he can!"
I love to hear that you are laughing and I will make you another video, but tomorrow and Tuesday are busy all day. I will try to get to it Wednesday for you. thanks for the reply and that was a good one for your husband...
I’m gonna make one of these for my property Thankyou for taking the time to show us & share your knowledge Very much appreciated 👍👍😊
If you watch my later dually video, it turned out better. I has less wobble, is stronger, and has better tires. I hope to hear what you think about that one and thanks for watching.
start by making a puddle
After watching many of your videos and seeing how much FUN you have doing what you do I will say don't let the naysayers get to you. Do what you want to do and enjoy life. I find many of the people that bad mouth other on the 'net don't have a life and thus want to try to make as many people miserable like themselves. No need to spend big bucks buying this kit or that kit when you can do stuff for cheap like you did. Go out muddin and have fun.
I don't sweat the naysayers, in fact, I like to give them some sarcasm back. And as for comments like yours, I love them and they keep me posting. It is a win - win when I get comments. thanks for watching!!! PS, I just went mudding this evening and right now we are getting almost flood level rains, that means even more mudding coming soon.
Everyone have a kid inside of them sometimes and there is nothing wrong with that. I luv to build and create things on my own too. 👍👍👍👍
Everyone including me hates it when they wreck having on fun on video... I know a lot of guys that would not even admit to doing shit like that let alone on video but I caught a few of my pals doing WTF stuff and mean guys you would never even think would do it do it.
Not sure what i enjoyed more, the actual video or all of your replies to the comments! Great video. Just earned another sub!
I spend a lot of time in the comments; reading, replying, thanks, being sarcastic, and correcting. Now I finally know that I am not wasting my time. I love your comment and I thank you for watching and especially thank you for subbing.
After a couple of beers he probably actually feels like a real farmer riding a big Deere...
lol Awesome. I actually did this a few years ago! It really does make a lot of difference in off road capabilities. I ended up putting some fender flares on the back, to avoid getting soaked!
I have seen a big improvement! Thanks for watching.
I install 18.5 kenda atv tires on the rear of mine. I used snowblower tires and rims for the front. I can go anywhere this could and maneuver my wagon better. I use tire chains in the winter and can plow snow with ease. I regularly haul over 1000 pounds of water in my wagon with no issues. The weak link is the transmission, I have swapped a older peerless 6speed rear end, rebuilt it and put a 2 inch larger pully to gear it down for hauling. I've blown up Spicer and newer hydro trans and the peerless has been going strong for 6 years now. I do remove it and re grease it every year.
Yours sound like an awesome machine! I wouldn't want to challenge you. My machine is based on improvements that are free or super cheap. For example, this video was about $6 for paint and nuts. I would love some ATV tires on mine, but that is not the theme of this build. As you see it, I probably have less that $20 in the whole thing. To help with expenses, the neighbor gave the mower to me. Cheap is just a way of life for me and I thank you so much for watching.
Thats an old but rediscovered Great Idea ! Much easier and much more inexpensive than making it a six wheeler or making it a tracked (tank) vehicle. And by the look at your play the rear end doesn't even need to be locked. You were spinning BOTH wheels when you were in that mud hole. Just here and there. Keeps them much easier to steer when rear end is not locked.
Double comments, I love that and thanks again!
That's awesome lol you win the internet today definitely subscribed
That is one of the best comments of the day! Thanks for subbing! I hope to hear from you again!!!
Really sweet video enjoy seeing you in muddy water!!
Thanks, I will try to get back out there real soon. Thanks for watching.
Cool project. Love it !
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
Dual wheels are 80% more reliable 💯 keep up the good work, you just encouraged me to get back to dream building ❤️
Glad to hear and thanks for watching!!
I see all these comments saying "why the hell would you do this?" Let me ask you this, why not? And is this not a free country? Hell, let him do what he wants if he want to dually his mower he can dually his mower it doesn't need to cut grass to be a good time! I say all power too ya!
AMEN Andy, that is what I say! Thanks for watching and for the wisdom!
Hey buddy if you want to do something that might be fun and if you like doing it …… then do it !!! To many people who want to do this but can’t do it. Go for it Andy 👍👍
I didn't realize who I was watching until you started talking. Then it got me..same dude built a freakin pontoon boat. Checked, sure nuff!
I am so glad you put that together, now I need to put together a duallie pontoon boat... Thanks so much for watching.
I can watch videos like this all day good job brother
thanks for watching and feel free to watch all day.
Just A Big Kid...great idea thanks for the laughs!!!
I had solid 2 inch steel slugs that fit perfectly in the rim. The tires were ag tires. Axle was welded on a Allis B-210. Tire chains on all 4 wheels. Snow, stone dirt. Unstoppable.
Thanks for watching.
Loks like you're having some fun!
It was fun, it is even better now with dual tractor tires. Thanks so much for watching.
I love those Poulan mowers. best mowers i ever had. somebody using them always tore them up though.
I have two and love them both! Thanks for watching!!
This is going to help me in the long run on my mud mower
Let me know how it works for you, I am very impressed with mine. Thanks for watching.
love your vids man you give me good ideas for my mud racing tractor keep up the good work!!!!!!
Will do and thanks so much for watching. BTW, another video is about to come out hopefully tonight. thanks again.
@@chud327 no thank you im only 14 year old canadadian and you realy good ideas
Damn good method for cutting off excess tread blocks. I just bought flat-proof front tires and because their material makes them skid instead of grip this will solve that problem!
Yes, get you a cutter. Thanks again.
Man that's a good idea.Cant wait to do that to mine.Good video man.
I now right! I wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks for watching and good luck.
All the Poulans I ever see are brand new at Walmart, or dead in someone's back yard. This is amazing.I just fire up the old 12 yr old gravely. If it won't go, just strap the Honda 670 Rubicon ATV to it.
I have never bought a new poulan, in fact, this one was given to me. I love the thing so far. I have had 4 Troy-Bilts give to me in the last couple of years, they seem to be junkier than the Poulan. I do like a Gravely and thanks for watching.
chud327 My first rider was a snapper, in pieces, old as can be, but threw it together, used it for years. I am a makeshift rigger of all my junk, I never knock someone's ingenuity. If you saw all my equipment and how it stays running, or was modified, you would have a good laugh.
That sounds about like some of my stuff too. Thanks for the reply.
Nice video!! Still trying to get starter for my tractor.
Do you have a bad one, they are usually pretty easy to rebuild. If not, good luck finding one. Thanks for watching.
Amazing traction!
Thanks you so much and thanks for watching.
Love the 3rd gen in background
I really need to get it running someday. Thanks so much for watching.
Really cool there’s lotta applications for that
I think so and thanks for watching.
👍 love watching ur videos
Thanks, I love the views and the comments. Thanks for watching.
Oh I am definitely doing this to. My engine swapped Snapper.
Nice, I am still loving mine, but I did make a better way of doing it. Good luck and thanks for watching.
good idea.Looks like it works great.
Thanks and yes it did work pretty good. Thanks for watching.
This is totally what i wished i had seen when i had my riding mower.
I know right and did you see dually part two. Let me know what you think about that. Thanks for watching.
Lol hell yea!! That's awsome man! Nice work!
Thanks! Also thanks for watching.
its looking pretty sick!! for a little riding mower
That is the spirit and thanks for watching!
This just makes me want to make one, and turn it into a drag racing dully mower.
I like the way you think! Thanks for the reply.
Very cool. I like the Camaro!
Thanks, I really should fix that Camaro up. Thanks for watching.
I've got three of them in my yard now 😆 , seriously! Don't dump it though, they are getting scarce.
They sure are getting rare, I am watch the price go up on them on Craigslist... Thanks for the reply.
That is just a fancy way to fling mud on you 😂
I actually seemed to get muddier before it was a dualie. Thanks for watching.
Planning on doing this with Frankenstein dig ur videos
I made a later video of doing it a better way, I would suggest doing it the better way, but this way works good too. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Great... Enjoyed it... I Subscribed
Love it and thanks! please check out my two more recent dually videos. They are better dually systems. thanks for watching.
will do so
Wow - great video
Thanks, I am so glad you liked it. Be sure to let me know what you think about dually part two. Thanks for watching.
I've got a B&S, bout the same size. One-whrrl drive, I can see the dually helping with the slopes and slip issues, nothin more fun than having to get off and push the damn thing out of the slip-n-slide when trying to get work done.
IKR, I need to lock mine. Thanks for watching.
Good deal Very nice I cant belive my eys going thru a ditch and not get stuck!! AAAA+++ ,bob
I am so glad you liked it, have you seen part two yet? Thanks for watching. AAAA+++ on your comment too.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. this is a pretty epic mower (play toy if you prefer) but i have some ideas to possibly make it EVEN MORE FUN. I'm thinking of using something like a predator 420cc engine. I've even seen 670cc engines. The amount of power and fun you could have with that would just be amazing. Definitely a like and new subscriber from me. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the like and for subbing! I hope you will go back and watch a bunch more. Thanks for watching and for the suggestions.
Best no. Good a definitely yes. The Gomer that put a Johnson 5hp kicker on his wifes dining room table and used it as boat was the best.
I need to look that one up and thanks for watching. BTW, speaking of boats, did you see my homemade pontoon boat from last Saturday? Thanks for watching.
Interesting, I could have used those dualie tires on my lawn tractor while I was trying to mow my soggy lawn this spring👍
I will have to put them back on, it will not stop raining here. Did you see it when it had dual tractor tires, that was way cooler. Thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Hahaha Yes I did see it with the tractor tires on it. That Tractor is an absolute monster when you got it fully setup. I was amazed watching it going through everything you put it through and it never got stuck. It also makes for a great tow truck tractor to rescue the other tractors when they get stuck. Definitely a great idea👍
Pina savador.
You need to make wheel spacer with a steel pipe with flat caps with the same holes that sets inside the rims to keep the wheel lined up, the make valve stem extensions for duallys so u can run it from the inner tire to the outer tire
I like the spacer idea, but I think I will drill two holes for the valve stems. Thanks for watching.
Love the dual tires! Just rewatching this again.. too much fun!!
I need more people like you, the rewatchers! I assume you saw dually part 2 and today's riding on the flooded road? Thanks for rewatching, that says a lot!
MAN YOU ARE HAVING FUN AT LEAST YOU ARE NOT OUT ROBBING AND STEALING SCREW EVERYBODY ELSE WITH THEIR DOWNING COMMENTS
I find that there are plenty to offer their negative though, you just have to keep going for the positive ones. You are very kind and seem to be super smart, judging by your comment. I can't say that for 100% of the negative trolls. The kids and I had a super time down at the river and I plan a fishing trip with it real soon, I hope you will comment on that one too. Thanks for watching.
Hey chode this has to be the coolest lawnmower ever
Thanks, it is my favorite that I own.
Notice the perviable 80's Camero sitting in the back yard with grass growing up around it.
That thing has been sitting there for 11 years! Something really should be done with it. Thanks for watching.
thats badass man gave me an idea
Next I am putting duals on the front, why not. Thanks for watching and good luck with your idea.
I just bought a lawn tractor with duals but will need new tires and pullies and a belt and chain needs tighten 😎 but will be repainting it John Deere green and will get decals for it and installing a exhaust like a real John Deere tractor and then after this beast is done I'll be building a auger trailer so I can operate in parades and kids can sit in the trained throw candy 🤔
Sound sweet! Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
LMAO looks like fun though I want to try it you go girl
Man*
Thanks for watching and what C I A replied.
Thanks man.
Awesome idea
Thanks so much and I hope you watched the improved dually video, there is a card and it worked so much better. thanks for watching.
I like it and I would recommend a foot throttle it will work so much better for u 🤘👍
The foot throttle is on my list along with locking the rear end, I just haven't got to it yet. Thanks for watching.
I like it it's a kickass idea and I'm doing it
I loved it and it was super easy, thanks for watching and did you see me put duals on the front?
You need to put a metal ring between the two rims to keep them centered and from moving around like they do on tractors
I was thinking the same thing, I need to try to make something up. Thanks for watching.
@@chud327 You could 'adjust' the lip on the rims so one fits just inside the other.
I said the tractor supplies and Lowes have one it's like a drum and centers the rims up too the only think is it is white in color and that also means it is made out of that cheapo ground up recycled plastic shit that rots and deteriorates. I think make a better black plastic one I seen a pic of it in the store not sure of the rim sizes available. And the thing has 4 holes and a stem hole too. I seen a version online with a spacer so the tires are about 1" or so apart. I guess because of maybe grass or dirt or maybe even snow because they had plows and chains and shit on the same page of the ad
@@chud327 make a hub ..the all thread will flex when not up and down rims are soft you will pull the nuts threw the rim .. it may work temp but long term it will destroy the all thread and or the rim and maybe the sidewalls of the tires .. plus if outer tire grabs and not the inner tire it will twist the rims and bend the all thread ..
Hey!!!! Brother... that's something we have done out here in Perry county KY, ..... you!!! Go my man!!! ... y'all got your shit together!!! 👍
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
I need to do this to my mower for stability on my steep ass yard! Fill them with antifreeze and it’ll dig way better too
And check out when I redid it, turned out better and had tractor tires… thanks for watching!!
Dang man, yous my hero
So good to hear! Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
two bolts on the rim it looks like that would twist of shift
No "twist of shift" yet, but I will keep trying. Thanks for watching.
chud327 just weld 4 1” long piece of steel 90 degrees apart to inside of outer rim and when you slide wheels together they’ll lock up
Really cool idea. He used what he had laying around. You could always add washers and larger all thread
That looks totally bad-ass!
Thanks and you should see it now. Thanks for watching
You can get a valve stem extension that is meant for trucks that have dualleys and then run it through the outside wheel,s axle hole
Good idea, but I might just punch two more hole and put two more valve stems in. Thanks for watching.
Love it!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
chud327 Now all you need is a small block for a engine or like a two stroke.😁 I got a Ariens from a guy that i modified to also paint lines on a soccer field. Its pretty sick! I see if i can upload it...
plus.google.com/111349081923050675583/posts/G72Ka3dzW11
Nice, I used to be a soccer coach, that would have been handy.
Awesome video thank
Thanks so much and thanks for watching.
nice video thanks!
You are welcome, thank you!
suggestion" Center the 'dualies', as can be seen in the video, they are off center (compared to the inner tires) IMO: the most useful consequence of the 'dualies' is when mowing across a hill as they would greatly increase the tip over resistance
I you watch a later video on it, I built a better system. In fact, one of my next videos is putting duals on the John Deere, I hope you will check it out and thanks for watching.
I"ve got a little newer version Poulan Pro (17.5 Hp Briggs) ---now you got me wanting to dually it! ---neat project buddy...
Thanks so much and if you watch later videos of it, I made the dually system much better. In fact, there should be a dually update in the morning, I hope you will check it out and give me your opinion. Thanks for watching.
Moving a mud puddle ftw!
Thanks, more mud puddle action coming out later today. thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Check out my mud puddle ;P kzhead.info/sun/pbF9eseSZ5yedJ8/bejne.html wondering if your tractor would cross :D
I'm glad there's still some Okies left in the US damit.
I am not sure what an Okies is, but thanks for watching,
chud327 just ppl that have fun with what there do and don't give a dam what anyone thinks. Thanks for sharing.
That is me, thanks for explaining.
Looks like you made more fun out of that tractor!
You are right, you should see it now, thanks for watching
That is so cool my problem isn't water it's and live in the deserts of Nevada I dragged a lot of my four and a half acres with my tiny little tractor that's going to be a lot easier to do with the egg tires on it thank you very much
I am not sure what egg tires are but I hope you were able to try it and that it worked great. Thanks for watching
Dude is genius
Thanks so much and thanks for watching. You comment is genius too!
Subbed👍
Thank you so much!!!
Maybe the readneckiest video ever...? Good work.
Thanks you so much and thanks for watching. BTW, I redid the duals with a better system and actual tractor tires. I would love to hear what you think.
Valve extenders and drill a hole in the outside wheel and mount it.
Good idea. I think I will just drill two more hole and put in two more valve stems. Thanks for watching.
Cool. Idea!!!
Thanks, I love it and now it is with tractor tires. Thanks for watching.
Need to go back like that my man abd start over
I also have better making duals videos. thanks for watching.
That's genius!
Thanks, so far I am loving it! Thanks for watching.
Thats bad ass bro
I don't know, I am loving it. Thanks for watching.
hot dam great idea!!!!
Thanks, I am loving it. BTW, there will be another video coming out tomorrow and another this weekend with that mower. thanks for watching.
You gonna be floating when the back end gets to a certain point lol
I should try that, thanks for watching.
+chud327 me and my friends have tons of mud mowers 👌🏼 thanks for responding! Keep doing what your doing
Sweet and thanks for the reply. Do you have video of your on here?
Love it! But question: how do you keep the dually tires from knocking out of alignment every time you hit uneven ground? I did this to my Sears, and every time I hit uneven ground, they knock out of line... how would you take on that problem?
Mine have a little wobble to them, but nothing serious. Maybe your could be tighter, I am not sure. I need to engineer something that would keep them better aligned. I hit some uneven ground and mine doesn't seem to get worse or change. I hope this helps and do you have any videos of yours?
chud327 I believe they could be tighter, need to put me some self locking nuts on them, right now I just have some wing nuts on lock washers I found around the house holding them on haha! And I do have videos, but not many, haven't made any on the dually yet, I put the dually tires on last weekend, oh, by the way thanks for inspiring me to do it too!! But just been busy with college and all that, plus everything else that wants to get in the way!
That is so understandable, I always have stuff getting in the way too. I would love to see a video when you get around to it! Thanks for the reply.
chud327 hey no problem! And hopefully I'll have a video out on it soon! Need to make a big update video on everything happening anyways!
Sweet, I will be watching for it!
Nice idea but I see the outer tires begin to wobble, you can prevent that and it will save the rims.
I see them wobble too, I guess I hit the mud too much and popped too many wheelies... Thanks for watching.
Didn't look like a quality build from the getgo. No center support. Beefier hardware design definitely needed. Gave the little beast a cool look but not ready for prime time.
Well, if you haven't killed this homemade dually mower & you haven't flattened the outer tires yet, try adding a 6" steel extension on the yard cart tongue... that'll give you enough clearance (with a little extra). Good luck & I'm hoping your making good money at keeping the neighbors' rice paddies maintained, LMAO!
We don't have any rice, but it has been fun in the mud hole. Good tip on the cart and thanks for watching.
So awesome!
Thanks!!!
You're welcome. More grip you have! >:)
It does much better now, thanks for the reply.
You're welcome. :) Have a good day. :)
Very cool hey bud have you ever changed spindle bearings and the old ones be stuck? I have a J/D 0 turn and have let the bearings soak and still won't move any suggestions?thanks
I don't know, have you tried heating it? Thanks for watching and good luck.
chud327 oh yea let it soak in penetrating oil hit it with a socket etc. the first one I did in the past they came right out I was just curious if you know thanks
No I thought about it may have to try that thanks
So after all this time has gone by what was the result? did the all threads snap, bend or did you have to add additional connectors? How long did it last?
Please go and watch my two most recent videos. The dually dually is doing just fine. The outer tires wobble slightly, but other than that they are doing great. I have just found a set of 4 tractor tires that I want to get for it, they may break it quick. I also want to weld it and lock it, that too may break it quicker. Keep watching and we will find out together what happens and how long it lasts. Thanks for watching.
you should drill some holes to add some more all thread. It will make it more stable and reduce stress on the bolts. I saw movement between the wheels.
If you check out later videos, I have improved the system. My most recent video was rock climbing with the duals and the 2 all threads are still holding up... Thanks for watching.
@@chud327 4/29/19, I mean......what does it do other than slosh around in the mud? No deck, so it don't cut grass.....maybe it's me :/(
Love it! But question... how do you keep the dually tires from sliding or getting knocked out of alignment? I tried doing this to my Sears, and every time I hit uneven ground, the outside wheels slide out of line. Then it's a really bumpy ride! Haha
Mine have a little wobble to them, but nothing serious. Maybe your could be tighter, I am not sure. I need to engineer something that would keep them better aligned. I hit some uneven ground and mine doesn't seem to get worse or change. I hope this helps and do you have any videos of yours?
More nuts per threaded rod ... On the inside rim you should have a nut on the inside and the outside of the threaded rod effectively clamping the rod securely solid to the rim before you mount the outside tire on the solid locked down threaded rods.
Try using the drill bit and add another hole through both rims then there will be no way that those tires will get out of line that's how we do it up here in Perry county in the Appalachian mountains of course we usually drill two extra holes in the rims when they only have two for the most part but those extra two holes that you will be drilling and putting the threaded rods will help them from coming out of line
Exalent modification
Thanks, I am glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
lol I got that same trailer, do you find it self dumps when you put a lot of weight in it especially in the rear??
No, mine has been customized, it no longer dumps. thanks for watching.
@@chud327 Ahh...mine too...i tied that dump latch up with wire...lol it only "Dumps" now when I tip it up! lol,lol,lol...
Hello Chad327. I'm looking at putting duals on my atv. I'm planning to get a plain set of fatory rims to put on the inside. I'm planning on taking the new rim to my local welding shop. I'm going to get them to weld the valve stem hole shut, then drill a new valve stem hole on the back side of each rim. Then the vallve stem will be on the inside of the rim.
I am planning a valve stem fix on mine too. However, I am just going to drill new holes on the other side and leave the old stems in the center of the wheels.Good luck and thanks for watching.
So I found out if your looking for good traction tire chains are key. I've tried mud tires and after the tread fills up your done. I put some allis/simplicity chains on my troybilt pony and drive it thru 1 foot of silt and didnt stop at all!
Ya chains are great but if u drive on a hard packed surface like a road they are rough on u and the machine not bad in snow cause they sink in the snow but if u have any speed man they beat on ur back
Extend the hitch to provide clearance, not the tongue of the trailer, right?
I would think either would work, just tongue might be easier. Thanks for watching
Thanks. I will.
Love it and thanks!
Welp I'm sending my beans to u
I hope you mean that you subbed. Thanks so much for watching.
please ,,stop,,,,,you killing the machine....lol
Duals didn't actually hurt it, but the taller meaner tires did break the rear, it is back up and running now though. thanks for watching.
Hey, you should see about putting a bigger front tire on to see if you can improve your off-road ability! Would make it easy to roll over some things!
I currently have duals on the front now. If I don't run them long term, I will be hunting some bigger tires for the front. That will help keep that belt and pulley out of the water. Thanks for watching.
Hope I'm not the only one who considered this..... 😂🤘🏽💯
I did it and love it, thanks for watching.
It would do way better if you drilled 2 more holes , so that you could have 4 studs. And maybe some sort of spacer to keep the tires from contacting each other. Maybe some 3/8 pipe for spacers on the all thread.
Love it and great suggestion! Thanks for watching.
Your right
