My pull behind creation

[racinfool40 202]

Well had a 5' woods belly mower I picked up cheap and a new 17.5 Kohler vert. shaft I picked up cheap' So got the ole mind going and this is what I came up with. Today I finally got it going and almost ready for mowing season..If ya notice the big black coiled wire with the gray box..Well I will be able to start and engage the electic clutch all from the seat of a tractor..I will be pulling it with either of my Wheel Horse tractors or my 1948 Farmall wide front cub..Enjoy the pics!!

Hmmm I can see them??

[bowtiebutler956 650]

That's awesome, I love it. I've always thought the deck on my B-80 was to small, this would be a sure cure for that problem. Very nice craftsmanship.

I guess the milk-crate is one of the most versitile pieces of equipment one can have!

Thats not a milk crate, can't you see that it's a gas tank bracket. :ychain:

Looking good there Mikey! You have been busy!

[Vinylguy 4,674]

Dang Fool Contraption!! Fool's Cool Tool, We need a naming contest. That is so freakin cool Fool. Videos will be a must.

Build a second one and offset both. 13 foot per pass. :bow-blue:

isn't it sweet when idea comes together Mike!!! great job Sir!!!

now I wish I would of kept the 48 inch deck I sold and stole your idea to mow my yard faster... :eusa-think:

[bowtiebutler956 650]

That thing really is awesome! I agree with Terry, put 2 of them together. Talk about a massive assault on the poor grass. Are you taking orders? Put me down for one.

Matt :flags-texas:

Nice job. I have a 48" JD deck I am doing the same thing with. Is yours adjustable for height? I am making what basically is a cart and hang the deck with the original brackets. Mine is gonna be just a little over-killed cuz I just happen to have a 20hp Kohler that will be on it. I never thought of the coiled wire though. I would like to make mine so I can start it and engage from the tractor seat, if I can just figure out how to make the throttle work it will be sweet. Yours looks heavy enough to maybe use as a brush cutter as well. I like it. Good work. Pat

[racinfool40 202]

Yes it's adjustable I can vary the height from 1-1/2 to 6" above the ground the front wheels have different holes and bushings on the shaft to change the height.. The rear Has an all thread rod..All I have to do is turn the top nut up or down to change the rear height. I had been looking at buying one from TSC but didn't like the way they were made (cheap) and I figured I could make one better. I mow a lot of lots around the town I live in so I figured it would come in handy..

Come over and try it out in my yard !!!

[racinfool40 202]

well finally got some action shots...After some adjusting the height it mows pretty darn good.

[whfan74 2,066]

Looks like you were having way too much fun there Mike! Glad it is working out well for you!

[Lars 526]

Looks to be working good Fool. Very nice..
