Welcome to part 2 of slamming the Murray riding lawn mower! In this video, we adjust our steering, clutch, and shift linkages to compensate for “the slam”.

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.

🤞😎

    Another Home Run!!...I've looked at TONS of YT mower mod sites and NEVER have i seen a build with as much clear instruction and innovation!...already waiting on the next one!
  • I am new to your channel. You do some pretty awesome work! Nice.. I build custom cars. So much fabrication goes into each car for sure lol. I have been wanting to build a custom low mower for a minute.. you have given me some great ideas!! Thank you. And, hello from California 😊

    People don't appreciate how much effort is done to get to the finished product!

    Got a free mower before winter. Just about to pull it out and try to lower it a bit. THANK YOU FOR THIS SERIES. So many great ideas executed wonderfully.

    I am enjoying your can-do attitude, your excellent editing, and your straight-ahead approach to solving the inevitable dilemmas. I am doing a similar project, but with a purpose-built frame. Used a jackshaft to get the power up to the pulley on top; seating behind the transaxle rather than over it. Kinda slingshottish. Anyway, you inspire me. Good gumption vibes. Onward!

    Just found your videos, This is the best built video I've seen in forever! One good thing about just now finding you is i don't have to wait for the next video 😂 I'm binge watching the series , Awesome job!
  • @Dailyfiver
    this is an amazing series thank you! Welds are a lot stronger than I thought! haha
  • @1924ab
    Man, that’s a good looking ford you have!
  • @user-vq1rl5bj8l
    This is awesome bud, I gotta do one now, so cool. But or the steering linkage, im gonna try to thread the rods and then thread the inside of a pipe. It would be adjustable and stronger than 2 butt welds per side.

    Just watching the series. I want to see where this is going. Even a simple comment helps you with the algorithm.
  • Awesome project, and literally the only place I'm going to knock you is "flat strap". I've been with a structural steel company for the past 15 years. In the industry, that's "flat bar". It's bar stock; round bar, square bar, or flat bar. I'm not trying to be a Karen, what you're doing is friggin' awesome, and I'm going to be a new subscriber. I'm just wanted to say something before the keyboard welders started attacking.
  • @jimbo44556
    I was curious how you were going to do the steering! And damn is it low. Can't wait to see it moving!
  • @zethspurlock
    I'm digging the build man I'm wondering if u will have to seal the trans axle and put a fill hole in the top to get it to survive.
  • @andyharley2525
    Square corner holes create stress risers. Next time when cutting a structural member, it would be best practice to use a step drill at each end of the opening the cut out between the tangent points of the round holes. 😉
  • @WNCworks
    You'll probably want to put the big pulley on the engine... It's gonna be slow. Good video.

    Lol. 2/8" don't you mean a 1/4" I like this guy, he builds by the seat of his pants does something and figures out how to make it work. Sounds like something I'd do.
