How To Lower a Lawn Tractor As Low As Possible Pt. 1

Welcome to Part 1 of slamming the Murray riding lawn mower! In this video, we take the (mostly) stock LT1000 and drop the frame as low as possible and start building it back up

Although I do not plan on racing this lawn mower, I would consider this to be influenced heavily by race mower builds that I have seen. I may not have known exactly how to lower a riding lawn mower when this started, but I'm starting to get it figured out... I think

Tools used in this video:
- HF 4-1/2” angle grinder
- Miller 120V welder w/ flux core wire
- Dewalt 20V drill and impact driver
- various hand tools

If anybody asks, I do not recommend anyone, under any circumstances, or for any reason, to ever replicate, or attempt to replicate, the shenanigans portrayed in this video. This was a test conducted in accordance with the strict supervisory procedures and protocols put forth by me, to me and for me with regard to me own safety. Or something like that.

🤞😎

    When I first saw this, I thought, you don't want to watch that. I usually lift my mowers... However I like watching metal working, welding and grinding so I checked it out. I just binged watched all 11 episodes, it was great. I work 12 hours shifts and these 11 episodes helped me through. Now I want to build one. Did you paint it yet? When are you building the golf cart?

  • Great work ,always interesting watching new ideas,thanks for the inspiration man
  • I'm about to start a similar project. Video is very thorough man!
  • put a support brace across the back behind/on top of the transaxle, without one the axle will flex and blow up the rear end

    I picked up a 2003 MTD mower from a lady that bought a new Cub Cadet and just wanted it hualed off. I asked her what was wrong with it and she said it needs a new deck. Well she wasn't lying about the deck, but the little "tractor" runs great. I've been looking for something fun and different to do with it, and I think I may follow your path. Can't wait to finish this series.
  • I just flipped my complete assembly over and relocated the engine plate and I was done in a hour!

    Cool video, inspires a project with my son. Thanks! I'd hate to be your pocket knife 😂
  • @panheadric
    Whens the next video in the series coming out ? I literally watched every episode back to back . Great content !

    Gonna hamper the fun when you figure out what flipping the rear axle does with the gears.
  • @jamesmeredith381
    Awesome idea, what make and model is it! I just started a clean up job and there is over a hundred riding lawnmowers, and a barn full of push mowers! Going to keep everything at my place and sort through it!

    I would love to see (veiw) this done with an early 1980's SEARS/ROPER GT with a 6-speed manual transmission! Usung a jack shaft would be required for the belt drive though...
