Ok, so me and my freinds are sittin in ag power 1 and we all think hey lets make a Cub Lowboy fast.. this is a perfect idea, my dad sells lawn mowers and has a manual cub lowboy.. so i get it and bring it on and so far, its got a new Kohler 31 hp engine, switched the engine belt, switched pulleys, put paddle tires and custom Hiper wheels, new barnett clutch, dual exhuast from engine to the back of lawn mower, with dual echo tips (109 db's), flywheel, bored over the engine +16 hp, high ratio pistons, red/silver paint job, heavy duty axle, wheel spacers.. ive invested around 4,000 $$.... if u remember i sold my very nice 2004 Honda 400ex about 5 months ago for around 4,900$... oh i didnt mention my lawn mower specs.. over 55 hp... and clocked at 57 mph, on a flat ashpalt straight stretch... anyways Im takin it on my first ride.. at St. Joe and Im beginning to realize.. (no suspension) what will i do.. everywhere u go 57 MPH is bumpy and with no suspension..it wont be too fun.. Im wondering is there any possible way to put suspension on a lawn mower.. ??? and what will i have to do and what will cost be.. this lawn mower is scary fast.. im looking into buyin nitrus for it.. and enter competitions.. it will drowned out a group of atv's with its noise.. not even a heavy modded banshee can compare in noise... but anyways I need to know about the suspension, becuase im kind of dissapointed i didnt think of this earlier..???

Not sure what one looks like. But I have a lawn more at home and want to mess around with it. What about taking the axles off and putting some kind of leaf springs under them? Like a strait axle truck???

Prally won't work just a idea

So let me get this straight.....you sold an ATV to buy a lawnmower and then turn that into an all terrain vehicle? And it doesn't have suspension? I think you just took a step backwards.

i would find an old ez-go golf cart and see if you can convert your tractor to take on the components, just weld on some brackets

That post is sooooo wrong!!:rolleyes:
57mph with paddles on asphalt
+16hp by boring - Was that a 100mm bore up?
Your mods would not produce 55+hp from a 31hp motor

Put the crack pipe down and get some rehab!!!:scary:

my old racing lawn mower only had prolly 16 horse and it would do around 53:o :p . i had a 8 inch pulley on the motor and a 2 inch on the tranny. it was so slow off the line that you would have to rev it up and dump the clutch jus to get it going.

first off.. 55+ hp... is not too hard to believe... I said I bought a 31 hp Kohler engine, +16 hp overhaul kit, thats 45 horse right there.. then little things such as switching pulleys and engine belts.... you guys think quads are the fastest thing out there.. there are lawn mowers that can beat 400ex's if ya dont believe me go to www.g-team.com ... they have a 3 dale erhnhardt 3 lawn mower that goes up to 79 mph.. I could care less if you dont believe I have a 57 mph lawn mower.. and i had the stock tires on when I did the asphlat run.... but FYI.. atv's arent the fastest thing out there... AND I THOUGHT DIRTBIKERS WERE BAD.. WOW.. get a life...

You suck.

Haha, jk. But seriously. Nah, jk. But seriously, why are you freaking out? Prove us all wrong with some pics, dyno sheets, and videos of you dragging this little hot rod. Seriously, I want to see this.

They do have an 'English Version' to the right of the page.

What is this page supposed to prove anyway xtremefullbore?

G-Team , established in Taipei since 1976 , is specialized in the business of exports and imports on industrial abrasives and hardware.

G-Team is mainly dealing with the following business items:
# Coated Abrasives
# Non-woven Abrasives
# Portable Pneumatic Tools and Power Tools
# Hardware and Accessories for the above relative products
# Fan and Blower
# Products for automobile repairing & refinishing service

Are you saying you used their power tools and abrasives to achieve 55+ hp out of a lawnmower? :confused: I'm so confused...

Like I said pics or shens. Not to mention I think you wasted a ton of money to have a lawn mower that does 53. But hey whatever floats your boat right?

fyi no one said that quads are the fastest thing out there we are just saying that you are a dumbmother****er for putting all the money in a lawn mower and then trying to make it in to a atv when you had a atv be4 this. if you would of put as much money in you g a y mower as you did you 400ex you would have 1 bad 400

I think he just puts his foot down on the ground when he wants to stop... seems like that would make sense to him.

You guys are sinking down to his level ripping on him like that. Let him try and prove himself by posting up some pics. That website that he told us to go to was useless as it had NOTHING to do with lawnmowers or lawnmower racing.

xtremefullbore, get some pics up of this machine.

lets not get this thread shut down by bashing him, i think a lawn mower would be pretty cool, i dont think im do 50 in the woods. maybe u can drag race or something or just mess around the neighborhood. lets see them pipes by the way.

Where I grew up, lawnmower racing and go-kart racing were the big things. My friend and I were the only ones with quads, and the other guys talked down to us like you are doing to him. If he wants to spend his $ on a mower then let him. If he wants to spend it on needles and toothpaste let him, it is not our concern. Calling someone stupid just because you don't like what he likes just makes you look ignorant. That said, I will take a quad anyday!

switchin pulleys around wouldn't affect the hourepower at all, just how the negine uses the horsepower

lawnmowers are made to cut grass,quads are made to go fast and play on.thats kinda like me taking my streetbike and trying to race it through the woods.

Might help if he gave us the right website in the first place.

I'm still waiting on pictures and/or videos of this kid riding this lawnmower.
