Thanks to those who viewed. This video is for sure not my best one ever made, and is kind of filled with junk, but you can only get better, right?
Bought an old Craftsman mower. Add two bored country boys, and Amazon, and this is the result.
We upgraded the old 9” transaxle pulley to a 2” pulley, and the belt lost 5”.
After ONLY purchasing the 2” pulley new from Amazon, and the rest was what was laying around, a 43 ish” belt, here’s the result. That's the length of the belt stretched out, NOT the entire length of material.
The downside, it burns up the belt, so we’ll need to go down to a 41” or so belt in order for proper clutching and braking, without the belt being burnt up.
The battery does not hold a charge when jumping for the uninformed...
