Could you tell us a little bit about the brake setup? i looks like a bbrake pedal and eveything off a quad or a motorcylce.

Very nice looking mower! good luck with your season.

..."I used that motto to keep going, keep pushing, keep digging to
find a way around, or through to find a hole, some kind of break that
would allow some space. Once something broke thru, I could be there to
take advantage. Then I would finish 7th instead of 10th." - Dubba G

Look great! The only thing that I see that could be DANGEROUS is the way your deck on each side just end leaving a nice sharp corner.

Nice mower man. If i may ask where did you buy your rims and how much did you pay for them?

The front wheels are off a lawn mower (FREE) just cleaned them up realgood and added bearings (best I could find), The rear wheels are from nortern tool, they are high speed trailer wheels and I think they were somewhere around $30.00 :burnout:

Could you tell us a little bit about the brake setup? i looks like a brake pedal and everything off a quad or a motorcycles.

Its a rear brake setup off a Japanese dirt bike off some sort, (IE yamaha,Kawasaki,Honda,etc.)not sure which one I got them from a bike junk yard already removed and fairly cheap but my advice to anyone thinking about this style setup is buy Go kart brakes, these can be areal pain in the you know what!!! :mad2:

I have thought about that they do not come out past the rear tire or rear fender and I have rounded the corners off with the old grinder but still might have to maybe cut the point off to more of a radius !!!!! Point taken thank you!!! :thumbsup:

You might want to figure out what that brake set up is off of, BEFORE you need to replace brake parts!
