Dont need a turbo to do wheelies when your 20inchs off the ground :1

Got any video of that thing?

My old man has that same honda mower, it's kinda neat that it's a liquid cooled inline 2, and has a drive shaft and clutch set up like a RWD car/truck. But too bad it's only 13hp stock.

My race mower for next year will feature a Kohler Command 20hp with VW turbo with a peerless 350/700 to 1 1/4" axle. I already got the steering and body dialed in, I just need to switch from transaxle to live axle with gear box. The live axle throws me into an 'outlaw' class, but it won't matter with 35hp.

My transaxle this year had a solid one piece axle welded to the final drive gear with a 18hp valve in block. The motor was stout, it just had coil problems and jackshaft problems. With a gearbox and live axle I won't need a ------- shitty jackshaft.

Speaking of clutches I took apart a Toro earlier this year and it had a clutch disk and pressure plate like a damn car on it, but it was belt driven... it was so sick.

sweet deal on the clutch, i need to go find me a clutch or something like a really small fluid torque converter for what i'm going to be doing.

Re: So you think your lawn mower is fast.
 
Torque converters are illegal in my local rules, but a factory clutch disk isn't. The damn drive belt on that Toro was almost perfectly straight. It only had one idler tensioner because of the clutch disk. I need to go find that thing or get another Toro since I gave up on trying to get the clutch disk and pulley off without breaking it. The damn pulleys rust on a 10 year old mower pretty tight.
