supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

well, weve been slow at work, so we took the smog pump off the boss's demo car, and got creative...

it shredded the bracket that the pulley was mounted to after about 5 minutes. its currently getting a more fuel friendly carb, and a heavy duty crank pulley bracket. its definetly makes some boost, but we have no idea how much yet.

hopefully more to come.

Sweet ride. It shouldn't bog down anymore when you try to mow over some rocks :)

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *teaser pic*
 

lol awesome zack. I was wondering why you needed a boost gauge lol

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *teaser pic*
 

air pumps dont work well, they dont make any more air when they are spun faster then when spun slow (cant remember the correct term for it). The also take alot of power to turn, looks like fun though.

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

that video sucks

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

it was taken with a 5 year old digital still camera, so yes it does suck.

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

details on the tach please, standard automotive 4/6/8?

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *teaser pic*
 

Non-positive displacement pump? :-\

I've seen that doen on motorcycles before, mostly older twins. How are you fueling?

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

next step... tie a string around the govner and give her a few yanks when ridin. thats pretty sick though.

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

i have done that before. made some nice wheelies when timed right on a bump or small hill

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

there is already spekaer wire tied to the governer. we got the new carb, but it hasnt been installed yet. also still waiting on the new pulley bracket. as far as the tach, its non functional, im not sure how it would work. it has the switch on the back for 4/6/8.... i dont know. it wouldnt be there if it was up to me.

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

lmfao, yea one time i tryd it and yea held her a lil too long lol pop!

Re: supercharged lawn tractor *pics and vid*
 

i used to do that in grass, bring up the r's and just slam into gear, ride the wheelie till your fronts are down, shift again no clutch and wheelie some more
