I used 60 on the trans and 48 on the axle .The rear end is from a dixon zero turn ,which still gave me a differential rearend yet .Another thing a person can do is use the transaxle with drive shaft or drive shaft w/jackshaft depending what transaxle used .Make sure it is a trans axle like a peerless 2300 or peerless 820 . 3/4 shafted transaxles don't hold up unless it is converted to posi .tryin to turn larger tires tend to to send the spider gears thru the cases .I know this because I tried several trannies before I went to the 2300 tranny . A good hydro works too , but you can't speed it very much .

You know the guys from extrememowermayhem right?? Well how do the do their snorkels and stuff??

We have PHOTOS!! 





Nate sent me a video also, unfortunately it's too big to upload to my host.  If anyone can tell me how to compress it, I'll get right on that and upload it and post here.  I did upload it to MySpace but it's "processing", whatever that means  :roll:

Ciao!!

no problem

theres not a whole lot said in the video, it is very short, but it does help point out a thing or 2.

On page two of this thread, reply # 21, I posted email addresses for anyone wanting to contact them.  The pictures and video clip were all the info they sent me.  Sorry :cry:
