Cars are great but you can't beat having fun on your smaller equipment.

 

 

Kickass 2 seater Go-Kart
Here is the kart so for. Sick right ?
 
 
 
 This bumper is like a tank ram
 

 

 

This was the start to the role cage a basic frame

 

 

 

Now this is the furthest it has come so far and you can see the role cage is now looking sick. and that seat was desigined and created by me mike. Also as you can see the tires are flat they need to be fixed later.

 




This here is custom Go-Kart this was the first thing we ever built with our welder.



This lawn mower started off as scrap over at the Town Highway Department but I retrieved it because it looked like a descent frame. Then I said to my friend Tom who works on this stuff with me. A friend of mine needs a ride on lawn mower. So he said we could probable throw one together for him. So we started work on it. But as we stripped this new frame apart we found out why it was being scraped someone had snapped the metal by the front near the front axel. So right about now most people would say ok that’s it were done. Not me! Aside from just unbending the cracked frame and welding it I actually had to remove the whole front axel because the part that allows the axel to pivot in the center was bent. So I cut that out replaced it with an unbent one and bam I rebuilt the whole front end. (IN ONE DAY!!) Seeing how we have a ton of extra beat up Craftsman's just like this we where able to get any part we needed easily. The engine that we used was actually laying out in the back lot rusting away but that’s not a problem at all. We took the engine ripped it apart cleaned every nook and cranny of it and made it like new.

As you can see in these pics two other old frames were sacrificed





Now the story behind this lawn mower is a little strange. This lawn mower was built to run on propane the engine came off of an old propane buffer we thought it would be pretty neat but we never got around to finishing it so now it just lays there.



Here is my father’s motorcycle. It’s a good ride and he really enjoys it.



This is tom’s dirt bike and if you look closely there are some slight modifications



This here is an old and VERY HEAVY!!! Real mower. It’s been re painted green to look kind of like its original self.



Now you want to talk big this is where to start this is a regular ride on mower from years ago. Yes it’s big and yes it’s got some power under that hood. Tom used it once to pull a big old stump out of the ground. No problem what so ever



Now that middle red lawn mower is my personal mower. And yes I know that half of these lawn mowers you see have no decks but that’s because we do other things we these lawn mowers. Like go offroading with them. But trust me it sounds stupid but its actually a lot harder then it looks. Now for some of you people who might not know a lawn mowers axel is called a transaxle because the axel Is not a sold axel it actually makes the tires spin in opposite directions when off the ground. But when both wheels are on the ground they spin in the same direction because a gear locks into place forcing the other well to spin the same way. So my main point is this makes offroading a lot more difficult because if one wheel lifts off the ground then you ant goanna move. So balance is a key factor in this situation.



This little quad here belongs to tom but I have it right now because we were doing some work on it and I do borrow it once and awhile.



Now this kind of beat up old lawn mower is Toms and mine but we let his brother Ted ride it since we used our own lawn mowers. All the ones you see around all belong to us Ted just wanted to be involved.



This snapper is our reguler mower for cutting the lawn but just recently the orginal engine died but once again no problem we grabed and old engine we had fit it on their and on we went.



This old snapper was given to me by my friend Ben who recently moved away. also this is diffrent than the one above.



This also was given to us from Ben a small Aruans 8hp lawn mower



This very tiny Aruans lawn mower was give to Tom by his friend Jon P. a guy he used to work for.



This is called a sical-bar and this belongs to Toms father but we have done some work to it over the years.



This is one of toms very first rideon's that was not used for cutting grass but other things like offroading and towing pretty much everything.



Here is a large veiw of our back lot.
