How did a crusty old fart like you end up with a hot chick? Oh wait I see you gave her a 280Z. Looks like a good trade. She got a sister?

72 240Z
she has 3 sisters, l can get ya phone numbers, but are you really that stupid?

 

[Denny]

Yes I am that stupid! What do you think I could get for a 2005 Chevy Malibu with 160,000 miles on it?

The youngest would be a perfect fit. Shes a fat, stupid, greedy,ugly money hungry POS, but on a positive note, she’s about your age. Your corvette might get ya a better one. I got the pick of the litter.

 

[Denny]

Fat and stupid describe me, but that’s all. If she’s money hungry well, she’d starve with me!

Hemorrhoids, maybe an STD.

 

[Master Hack]

I've always wondered, shouldn't hemorroids, actually be named asstoroids?

 

[Denny]

I’m going to have to pass on the hemorrhoids, assteroids and std. I got enough problems without!

If your going to build a riding mower, convert to a live axle and make some sort of jackshaft for the chain from the motor o/p shaft to the axle. Save yourself a ton of head ache and money.

As in motor, I mean using your 212cc.

Yeah that’s my final plan for now. Going to buy the parts very soon just got to get some money

Don't forget to beef up the steering! They get real squirrely at faster speeds.

What’s the cheapest or cheaper way to do that? are you saying to rebuild the front end?

This whole post is exactly where I started on this forum I was given a mower and kart free. So I pulley swapped and made the tractor fast but the problem as said above was the steering was sketch. I pulled the engine off and sold it for $350 run stand and all. And used that $350 for sprockets and live axle parts.

I've built a few mud mowers awhile back. Did a pully swap and it was much faster. The steering on riding mowers is very sloppy. I almost flipped it a few times. I welded on some go kart shackles and converted it to basically a go kart steering system. I already had the shackles, but ordered appropriate length tie rods. Shouldnt cost much I would think to order all the parts you need. Check out a go kart supply website. Fairly easy upgrade if you can weld decent. I didnt ride it much in the city, but we beat the sh!t out of it mudding in the woods and trails. Ended up blowing up the engine and lost interest in it.

I will look into that. I kinda want to take it on some trails more than the city but I will see how it is when I build it

Just YouTube "mudmower build" and you'll a bunch of ideas. I might build another one now if I can find a decent mower for cheap. Lol.

I’m sure I know your answer but it’s worth a shot, I have a John Deere Sabre riding mower for sale in southern Wisconsin. It just had the motor rebuilt and a whole tune up with sharpened blades. I’m asking $450

I know it’s not good for a mud mower since it’s nicer but I noticed you are located in Michigan.

 

[12348910]

I will take $400 it needs a new battery soon. It can charge it enough to start and run but will die again after a few days

 

[Grizzlymi]

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.
