the race mower is going to happen.

[ryf]

hehe I was bored about two months ago

lool, I love playing with mowers

Try popping the cell caps off that battery and pouring some new acid or even water into each cell. Proceed to putting it on the charger for a few hours. Good chance it'll come back to life.

Matt lets put it back all stock. I will talk to my dad about going somewhere we can beat the living helll out of it until it breaks.

i will do that, should i drain the whole thing out and refill with fresh water?

f*** yeah! i was thinking that too, and if it survives we can use it this winter to snowblow... or just fix it and re break it btw did u get my txt

 

[Homemadgokarts1221]

I didnt get any txts...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

than your phone sucks. i said we should return it to stock and off road it like u said. and if it survives haha because it might, we can put the snow thrower attachment on and use it this winter to make $$ back

 

[Bluethunder3320]

oh and use your uncles mower as a race mower if we get it? because its probably a better platform. and it has a bigger engine.

 

[HellSpawn]

if there is any acid in the cells at all leave it. just fill em all level with water and set it on the charger.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

alright pulled the caps and the liquid was about an inch of air down from being level with the top of the battery. i filled them all the way to the top with water then put the caps back. i dont have a charger so ill just run the engine for a while and see if it restarts.

forgot to test before, but voltage after adding the water is now 11.4 volts.

the charging coil on the motor may not be enough to bring it back. It may work, but it usually takes a good long steady charge. Let us know how it goes!

 

[Homemadgokarts1221]

Okay that sounds fine matt. Only thing is we need a tranny...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

sooooo haha it didnt work out the way we hoped.

maybe next year well put more effort into it.

but for now i can see a big money maker this winter.

IFF you can even get it to move. all that weight up front on something that doesnt have much weight to it to begin with. i think you'll be doing a lot of tire spinning and very little movement.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i might have to add a ton of weight to the back.

i got time before it snows so its okay. and im going to have to order some belts.

 

[HellSpawn]

I'd look into making a set of tire chains for it, That with some extra weight on the back will make that thing go pretty **** well in the snow.

Wheel weights and chains. Dont put the weight over the axle. They cant take it.

They can, if it's reasonable- like an extra 50 LBS. Think about it- you weigh, say, 150lbs. It's feasible to think the tractor can tolerate a 250lb rider. That's 100lbs you can safely add to the axle.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

and remember, the way its rigged up, its taking weight off the rear end. adding weight is to make it normal again.

im about 110 pounds haha... so i can eat alot of cheeseburgers and add another 100 pounds to the back (maybe)


once i put about 175 pounds worth of barbells on a 2x4 out the back, it pulled nice wheelies.
