Hey guys!
I have gone a ways farther on my Snow-Mower project. It now runs! I have a short video clip of it up now so you can hear it run. I rebuilt the carbs with new kits, I had to modify the airbox slightly to fit and I modified the muffler quite a bit. The suspension is all designed, I am just waiting on some parts to be made at work on the lathe. Next will be designing side covers and doing the finishing touches, then finish the suspension, test drive, tear down, powder-coat, and reassembly.

And here is one pic of many.

Wow. I like the Idea with the stack. Good Job. Sounds sweet too. Is the suspension nice and comfy??

Looks pretty cool!!

Youll have to post some more pictures.....

Did you put wheels in the skis?

[wycrumb]

Eric,
i did put wheels in them, for summer testing, also rigged up the old mower wheels that can go on instead of skis if i want.

Bob,
The suspension is not done yet and the back end is being held up by a jack stand, so i guess i would say it is pretty stiff right now


Thanks for the comments guys, more will be coming.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are a twisted dude!

[wycrumb]

ummmm.... thanks? I just can't wait to see people's reactions when they see a nice shiny snowmobile lawnmower cruising down the trail or across the lake or when people walk by it and start talking to each other about it.

[Mr. Deere]

I bet it is a little stiff then. Thats a good idea with the deck wheels. I bet it will be a blast to drive.

Here it is again, I just got the suspension installed, I ran into a small problem but will hopefully be driving it soon!

Looks great Wyatt! I will bring those shocks hopefully tomorrow night!

[Mr. Deere]

WOW I wish I was that Creative. You could be an engineer.

[wycrumb]

I am an engineer, glad you think I am in the right field!

[Mr. Deere]

Hell ya you are.
