Hey buddy I’m interested in the motor. I was told the Vanguard was not reliable. How is the Kohler? Can you pm me? I’m building an FXT.

HOW CAN I REACH YOU? I WANT SPECS AND PARTS FOR THE BUILD.

it sounds like a monster truck

Nice, beast

That is a damn nice tractor

I like your video is the best in the world 🌎🌎

Hey man, do you have a business or website. I would love to get some info about these builds.

Whats an engine like that run $ wise

I'm Craig, I have a 12.5 Briggs and Stratton engine, I need help out with Rewiring

Mint 👌

I bet you can put this in a small car like an Austin 7, Fiat Topolino, or a Hillman Imp, and it’ll shove the car along nicely.

How did you manage to achieve 120Hp with just carburetors

With no forced induction those numbers are way off bro. Especially on alcohol. Maybe 50 max. With 10 pounds of boost maybe 80. I do love the crackly cam sound in that huge tuba of an exhaust pipe.

The only thing that came out of a lawnmower from that thing it the back fender and the very front peice 😭

Hi, Thats a great looking mower, such nice workmanship. Just ignore those crap comments.

Oh cmon on how are you not gonna rev it for us

pushrod?

Where do I buy the parts for this liek the cam and stuff my engine is not a vanguard but it is a Briggs vtwin

Sounds a bit like a two Stroke at idle with that Cam 👍love it

You got any for sale I can buy??

Lol you guys don't know what fast is...lol

Wtf is that. Sounds like a damn 358 modified racecar. Jesus that’s bad

No vids of it in action?

Any nitro in it.... sound bit more than alky tho :)

What’s the top speed?

I can't wait I have to run I think it's called outlaw .or some other class I have just put my 750 sohc bored to 915 with webber carbs got the lawn mower.now it's fig out live axel and wheels tires am glad I just have to shift it with a air shifter got it all drawn up now it putting it together.lol never done a lawn mower going to be a challenge yours sounds real fast are you in like a open class ?

I have an opposed twin engine I would love to see built would y’all build it for me?

120 HP?..... Come on now. 🙄🤣

At tht point it’s a go cart lol still badass

Is there a company that builds these

That made on a kart chassis

❓ Where do you Race❓ Are there any video's❓

Bro you should really look into the 20 hp imposed twin magnum from the 80s. Those thing already are pretty snappy. Beautiful tractor. Intended use...killing Honda civics.

How does the rear axle work, how you get the seat to sit so low?

Wheres the video gettin down on it?

that is insane that this engine could literraly power a car xddddd

Love hearing that cam still breaking up even at part throttle lol! Got some serious duration and overlap in that fuckin thing! Really Sweet!

That's awesome brother!!! Love the Cam and the nice pop to the compression Richard. Can't believe people are asking for proof of numbers, just from the sound of that Kohler with probably a roller cam setup and custom heads and everything else, yes Sir looks speak "Proof" along with the harmony of the exhaust. I've seen these Kohlers on the Dynos pulling a sick 12+K for minutes it seems non stop and YES I've witnessed 121 fuckin HP out of these engines and they hold together! Don't believe me? Check out Midwest Cubs I believe is the engine builders for pulling tractors! Plenty of various videos on CZcams to prove it is more than possible to produce a buck 20 and more and still holding together. They truly blew my mind with seeing and hearing the RPMs, I never would have imagined a V twin doing and not just doing it for a split second in time but holding it! With no real cooling system or ducted fans! Running on methanol you can get away with that for a little while over gasoline, but it's definitely amazing how jealous and anger issues appear whenever there is a complete lack of knowledge, to put it nicely! Stupid fucks! How about this? Before you go and shove your foot down your throats and shovel a pile of bull shit in the comment's, if this happens to piss you off some? Before you look like a complete asshole to the rest of the world, do a little research on your own!!!! There I said it! Richard, beautiful build! Like I said, jealousy and misinformation is what brings about such negative comments like the one I see on the bottom, Rt where it belongs. I've been a machinist / engineer / built plenty of drag cars in my youth, built hundreds of engines from stock to totally decked out custom shit and spent almost my entire younger years as a manager of a very successful small engine shop, now I only get my hands dirty at home on my smaller engined hobbies. I was checking out these race tractors and pulling tractors and their power plants with my own projects in mind just to get more information on how the "world of custom small engine aftermarket parts has become" Growing up a custom race small engine was a pile of shit Flathead Briggs 5hp engine with maybe a billet aluminum rod a 3hp flywheel for size and weight reduction and a block of billet aluminum for a cylinder head for slightly higher compression. A straight pipe usually home grown, a carb off a bigger small engine, and if you were rich enough, a custom made camshaft! That's It! That's all that we had! A sick 5HP Briggs could maybe break 17-19hp on a good day with alcohol fuels but yeah that's all there was in the late 80s early 90s. Shit.......Today the base engines are double the race engines or more HP outputs these days and are multiple cylinders if you want. Sanctioned races were only allowed 5hp Briggs blocks in them back then. So yeah it's come quite a long ways since those days! At the moment I'm trying to get as much information on anyone building any Vanguards out there. I'm building a 21Hp base vanguard Rt now for a Turbo setup. Brand New engine to begin with, ARC Rods, flywheel, cam I'm still feeling out, there's a considerable amount of different companies out there now making camshafts mainly all for a NA engine not a forced induction though, so I'll have to call and talk to some people behind the computer's grinding them out. I'm not racing, it's going in my golf cart for fun that's all with a set of gears and custom 4 link type rear end using the same type snowmobile Salisbury clutch VVT setup. Thanks for posting the video, wish they were more informative for people like me who just love seeing and hearing these things running! BUT we'll take whatever comes out ways. Thanks again Richard and hope you still have that Toy! Sounds like a deadly machine lol but real fun to drive!

Building a 35 cube Vanguard Rt now, what's your cam profile your running in the kohler I know it's they make reversed port cams for different applications as well plus taking advantage of the larger ports as well on the exhaust side. But just curious of who makes the cam or the rough profile of it. I know it's usually a trade secret, Hmu if you don't want to post it and I'll give ya my personal info. Compression sounds pretty high as well. But on alcohol that's not a issue really, otherwise absolutely sick sounding response and idle is bad ass nasty! I love it man, nice job on the whole deal! I don't tractor race anymore but building a V twin small block for a Golf cart. Old guys like suspension, you'll see one day lol.

Do you know the rim & tire specs?

I'm in love 😍. Wow dude.

Mantap bang... saya juga lagi proses bikin go kart..🙏😁😁

What kind of clutch are you using

love the build but i would move the pipe so the right carb isnt intaking exhaust fumes and warm air

Any proof that it makes that much?

its a go cart at that point idc

That's badass right there

at what point is it no longer a mower?

Watched it twice. Nice work.

Question do you guys make pulling motors? For garden tractors
