Crazy build using a 20hp Cub Cadet, curb find mower

Interesting choice. And hood. The pedal setup is a hydro, whole lot harder to go fast than just switching pullies. Not that I've done a hydrostatic mudmower/fast mower.

That stacks a whole lot better than the one I rigged on mine before I blew that engine. Cut the shroud and flipped the stock pipe.

Some stuff out there on getting the speed out of the hydros. I’m still experimenting. The stack was really simple. Bent a piece of pipe, welded on a home made flange to mount it to the motor, drilled a bizillion holes in it, took a larger pipe made plates for the top and bottom, drilled those to fit the “exhaust” pipe and the top for the exit stack, made a flapper and welded it all together. Works great and sounds kinda badass. Lol

And, oh yea, the hood. That’s made out of the “skin” off of an old clothes dryer. Just patched together and screwed wherever I could find an attachment point.

Hey! That’s where my mower went! Durn kids bring that back. I got to finish my grass.

Just kidding.

Out by me people will just stop cutting grass by the road or wherever. It is an unwritten rule don’t take without asking first. Unless you want a load of buckshot in your a$$.
