Built a brush guard

Xtreme Cartz · 10-13-2007, 11:04 AM

Today I built a brush guard for my lawnmower out of some scrap metal. LOL no more backing up to go around those darn trees, now I can plow right through them!!

Looks like you could just rip them up with your bare hands.

AWESOME! Now get us some videos as soon as you start ramming things. Didn't you blow out a valve in the transmission of your lawnmower a while back?

Thanks guys!!

Its gonna see a lot of use!

NONO, it sure did pulling a tree stump out.

I swapped the hydro trans with a geared one and then changed the pullies to speed it up. Now it cuts my 3.5 acre yard in 30 minutes!

What horsepower is it? What brand of engine is it?

30 minutes!?! You need to screw with the engine governor now and cut that down to 15.

Its a 23hp Kohler V-twin. I'm very impressed with the engine. There are 500 hours on it and it still runs like new. If it was a briggs I would order a high rev kit for it from Tom at CPP.

Do you know of anything I can do to pep it up?

My mower has a 16hp Kohler on it. I tried messing with the governor, but it's very strong and very picky. I couldn't hold it with my finger or a screwdriver at a higher RPM for much over half a second.
