  • Finished the Craftsman LT1000 pulley swap Ratio is 4:3 Front has a 4 inch pulley and rear has a 3 inch pulley Originally was 3:8 its a 6 speed transmission with a 694CC 18HP Briggs & Stratton Opposed twin not the motor i wanted to have but its the best running one as of right now, the mower goes about 25mph+ in 6th gear it could be faster but im not trying to get killed on it it's just a replacement for my dirt bike that has a bad engine it can still mow grass if i put the deck on it, Also belt size is a 88 inch from Tractor Supply

    I’m doing this to the same exact mower with a buddy, Ik this video was awhile ago but where’d you get a 4 inch pulley that worked and did you have to do much work to the pulley itself?

    Whats the fastest did that mower ho after you did that pulley swap? Also if you havent done so already consider putting a throttle pedal instead of the idle lever it would give you more control and add to the fun

      @@hotrodgavin6543 im keeping the governor control cause you remove governor crontrol you risk blowing out the motor or at least shortening the life of the motor. Is 4" on the motor thats the biggest wothout having to modify the original drive set up like having to reposition the clutch etc

    did you have to weld anything when doing the pulley swap? and if so, do you know of any alternatives?
    also i wanna make mine go a little faster than yours, should i go with a smaller pulley in the rear or bigger in the front

      The exhaust valve being off can indeed cause the compression release to not work, or a weak battery doesn't have enough power to really overcome the first crank to engage the compression release.

    DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AS IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE WORKING ON MODIFYING THEIR MOWERS Bypass the safely switch by cutting white wires under the mower and the two black wires , remember the ground wire is to be connected to frame while other two black are connected and taped together
