Looks like that Case has the traditional hydraulic (not hydrostatic) drive. I'm not sure what the benefit would be of all that power and higher RPMs... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also considering doing another build with a predator 212, hopping it up. If I did a predator 212 build, I would document everything here on Redsquare... and probably sell it here. I would aim for 8,000 rpm. Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,571 #34 Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, TJ Salyers said: How much hp did your duromax have stock and how did you get more hp out of it? There are many companies that make performance kits for Predator and Duromax engines. A good way to get 11+ horse power out of a 6.5hp engine. Also good way to turn $150 engines into $500+ engines. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=predator+stage+3+kit&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoY-PBhCNARIsABcz771ykf7VEUyener21OzNPPPZ_AMX5Z8AJdVoHLE6PAIHSztk05XfR4QaAhcWEALw_wcB&hvadid=461388534660&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9019452&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16716558766179201263&hvtargid=kwd-947745368808&hydadcr=7473_9612076&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_70l07vdn2x_e NOTE: If you are building an engine that will spin more that 5000RPMs you will need a billet flywheel. A stock Predator flywheel will fly apart around 5500RPMs. Always do you research before building a performance engine.

I saw one on the Cars and Cameras channel that went over 65 mph I think it was. The guy ended up flipping it and getting some bad road rash from it. It was a cool build though.

Any of you guys ever ride your Radio Flyer wagon down a hill with the handle flipped back to steer with when you were a little kid? That amount of positive control is comparable to any garden tractor that travels over about 15mph. ...as is the common sense levels. The Darwin awards were created with such things in mind.

This was common when I was young. The neighbor kid & I used to race our wagons down his long steep asphalt driveway. Of course "rubbin' is racing" so there was the inevitable and frequent crashes. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once knew a fella who added a motorcycle engine to a Murray lawnmower. Stories of the accident claimed 70+ mph. Even heard he raced a Camaro stoplight to stoplight and won. To say he "rolled it" in the crash doesn't do it justice... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
