Snoopy11 5,714 #102 Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Before the mod, I could not make power moves. Now, I can do a wheelie, spin the tires... anything I want. It is pretty darn fast to! An extra grand does wonders! Don Edited December 14, 2021 by Snoopy11 typo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #103 Posted December 14, 2021 Interesting, I was surfing the web and found this: John Deere LX176 Specs, Price, Reviews: John Deere LX176 Lawn Tractor fitted with 1-cylinder, Kawasaki FC420V gasoline, air-cooled 422 cc engine, which delivers 12.5 hp (9.3 kW) power at rated rpm 2700. However, the motor itself is rated 14hp at 3,600 rpm... NOW I'm really scratching my head... Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #104 Posted December 14, 2021 Maybe the factory set it down at 2,700? Perhaps it came like that...? Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy11 5,714 #108 Posted December 14, 2021 I certainly don't feel that I need to do a pulley swap running what I will call... the CORRECT rpms. Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
