boredom project. please help

Riding lawnmowers barely stop themselves at 5mph let alone 50. There steering components are also very cheaply made.

I can pull a 1000 lb trailer with my chopped up ariens, and the brakes can still lock the back wheels on pavement

i got a whole hydraulic disc (caliper, disc, master cylinder, disc carrier) from ebay for £50. just look for a whilst and a good deal will come up.

I'd love to see that, is it a transaxle ariens or a friction disc RER?if its a friction disc RER thats why, they have better band brakes. Man a 1000lbs thats pretty impressive, i would really love to see a vid.

Thats why you can lock up the brakes, hydrostatics normally dont use brakes, when you pull back on the lever, the pump will stop and that will stop your tires.

It also has a small disk brake, which also helps alot
i dragged it out of the woods a few minuits ago and im tearing it down and totally rebuilding it, it sucks that my brother wrecked it 5 years ago, and my dad tore it apart and lost/threw most of the parts away.
