When briggs and stratton made the vtwin mufflers pop off with 2 bolts they were just screaming straight piped it.
That is so true, thanks for all the comments, keep them coming, feels like a delayed premiere...
Honestly! My Mudmower sounds wicked
Yea until it blows 🤷♂️it’s pointless and lose hp !
Opposed twin is another story sounds like Harley .
I took my 21 v twin and straight piped to two 6x 2-1/2 old school cylinder style mufflers u get at tractor supply or any big store .
Not the big round ones but the smaller diameter ones (look like a-silencer lol) sounded wicked deep and thumpy
Thanks for the shout out! Can't wait to see what the cub cadet turns into! Im sure you will come up with something that fits it well
The boy likes it, he was trying to talk me out of it, but he may have Lost interest. He said make a racer out of it because of the shape of the hood. Thanks again for watching!!
Nice to see hard work and patience rewarded.
So true, was fun to hear it fire up for the first time and a first ride was great... thanks for watching.
I think you are officially 'the mower whisperer'!
I love that!! Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.

Awesome bud! Keep it up man, you made me get back into the hobby lol!
I will do and welcome back. Thanks for watching!!
Man my dream is a v-twin lawn mower with a sidepipe that has only one muffler under the chassis and then straight pipe out the side then i would pulley FLIP not swap it and then basically i would be happy. Im still pretty young. But i had a lawnmower but the rod snapped after the 4th day of driving. I have to say it was F U N while it lasted. Ive been searching a lawnmower since.
Hope you find something and I love you exhaust idea. Thanks for watching!!
@@chud327 your my inspiration man
@@Mowersandstuff love hearing that
That’s some bad stuff and love the mower video 🤟🏼
Thanks so much!!! Also, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
I will try to be there
@@aidenbrock555 Thanks and that is all I ask!!
Just found your channel, had to subscribe. Always wanted to build a tractor. Your video was very inspirational.
Awesome! Thank you!l for subbing, hope you can build on some day and thanks for watching!!
Good find, that is cool!
Thanks so much, I agree!! I just spent the night in Tennessee about a week ago, what a pretty state from what I have seen. Also, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
Also checked out your channel and I saw a John Deere and an Express van... I had to subscribe.
Yes sir! I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time (years)! You have been an inspiration! My boys and I watch all your content! Thank you!
@@Tennesseemountainhomestead Thanks so much!!! please keep up the views with the boys!!
Absolutely!
Awesome video Thank you for the video
You are very welcome and thank you so much for watching!!
@chud327 nice video! Stoked to see this V twin run so good! Im hoping the one for blue sounds and runs like this one you have.
Runs great and sounds even better! Engine made this deal real sweet!! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much for the shout out!!!!!
You mean Shout Outs... No problem, thanks for the flywheel!!
Absolutely love these videos. Hopefully, I can get that good at repairing engines Cause right now I suck.😂
Thanks so much and the more you mess with the engines, the better you should get. thanks for watching.
SUBSCRIBED!! Great video! I'm about to retire and I have 5 grandsons, 1adventureous granddaughter and 12 mowers out back. If only I could figure out how to combine the two. 🤔 I think you gave me an idea!
I bet the grands gonna love that!! Thanks for the subscription and for watching!!
YES, WE WANT TO SEE MINI BIKE
I will keep that in mind and see if I can get some content going. I want to ride it again... thanks for watching.
I haven't read the comments but I seen the end of the video you talking about the mini bike I may be way behind but build that thing come on brother lol
It is on my someday list and thanks for watching!!
My first lt1000 with a vtwin had a rear gas tank like that.
I really like the rear gas tank!! I even drove it to the station for a fill up... later in this video.
Yes on ReStore in the mini bike😮
Yes, that is on my long term list .. thanks for watching!!
Luv ur vids bro keep up the good work
Will do!! Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
@@chud327 will do
You should build like lawnmower that pull for wood with or a trailer. And some how make a four wheel drive lawnmower
I have been thinking on how to do a 4x4 mower for years... and a trailer would be a fun build too. Let's just say they are both on the to do list. thanks for watching.
You are most welcome you are very clever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Sup Chud 👌
No too much, what about you? BTW, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
I love tractor / ag tires❤❤
It is an old old design, but if it ain't broke you don't have to fix it... thanks again.
Nice man
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!!
You should build a Craftman Dyt4000 as a mudmower build but make it able to go in super deep water. Snorkle,raised Exaust and seal the transmission and seal engine, be a good test
That would be a great video. Thanks for watching!!
awsome!
Thanks so much!!LBTW, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
Very nice❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the comments and thanks for watching!!
Lt1000s are a good platform for modifying. My racing tractor is an lt1000
I like them!! Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
@@chud327 I will right now!
I didn't know you went to Oconto WI. I live there. That's pretty cool.
That is very cool, I am sure we will be back to visit my daughter some day. Keep an eye out, last time I posted on my Facebook about the trip. Maybe next time me can get lunch at Micky Lu's Bar B Que... If you have a mud mower, I would gladly test it in the snow for you.. thanks for watching.
I wish I had a chud 327 sticker for my mower
I need to see if I can order more .. thanks for watching!!
I had a friend years ago that built drag mowers, his nickname was rattle trap
Sounds cool!! Btw, subscribed to your channel.
@@chud327 thanks
What a cool build! With time and work ethic, i hope to do things like this too! I've gotta learn what im doing first lol - also - how do you get the speedometer on your phone?
The best way to learn is to do it... I found the app in the apple store for free. It is called "Speedometer" thanks for watching!
Hi Chud. It's Raymond on my dad's account. Thanks for the shoutout!!
I am wondering what kind of fuel you use in your mowers. If you don't use premium, I've found it's a good idea to because it helps keep your carburetors clean.
I use regular 87 octane, but have thought about doing premium... I may start that, it is not like they burn much anyways. Thanks for the tag!! and thanks for watching.
Awsome gas throttle setup and it idols great.
I love that idle!!
I was wondering what kind of pulley setup do you have for mud mowers I dont really want to go too terribly fast
I have a 6 inch in front and a 5 inch on Silver Bullet and it did 29 and has tons of low in power. You could even start with a 6 inch in the front and see what happens... Good luck and BTW, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
@@chud327 exactly what i need around my property thanks
On those mowers you can run a 5 inch front pulley max without mods. I also think it needs a gas pedal, and I see a missing front axle bolt at 32:40. Pretty sick build! I need to make a custom exhaust soon...
Which part is missing the bolt? I don't see it
@@crazinesskid6254 the top left front axle bolt
I think the guy that had it before me forgot to put the bolt back when he took the front bumper off... I will try to get it put back and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the help and for watching.
I plan to check that out soon. I measured, but have not bought one yet. thanks again for watching.
I got a older john deere 111 that im making into a mud mower, engine runs strong but the carb is junk, i was thinking about putting a atv style carb on it, would you have any suggestions or advice on it?
Give it a shot, if you can make it work, will probably run better than ever. I hope to do more like that in the future. Thanks for watching!!
I am wondering why you don't weld up the differentials to make your mowers positive traction?
I hope to lock some soon. thanks again!!
Could you do a video on replacing the ignition tbh I’m going in to this blind just wanted to make my first project I also wanna learn how to install a battery
I will try to add that to a video next time I put a battery in. thanks for watching.
I guess you'll have to go to Wisconsin to buy belt , (you know with inflation in all)
I am just glad they did fuss about the first coming from Florida, but that would have been silly...
Sweet mower! What do you think of those front tires? Im thinking about ordering a set for my mower just wanted to hear opinions on them first haha
I love the little front tires and really like that they fit on the stock 6 inch wheels. I also have a set that fit on 8 inch wheels that are exactly the same tire just bigger. If you have any for 8 inch wheels, I actually like those better. Let me know what you decide and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 will do! Thank you
I have LT2000 that I drive through woods
That is very cool to hear and thanks for watching.
I had no idea you were in Callahan, I have family that lives up there. I am in Jacksonville, just down the street from you. So many CZcamsrs here in Jax/Callahan.
Yes, Callahanian all my life. There may be many, but I have a hard time find people to collaborate with... maybe I should look harder. Thanks so much for watching. Also, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!!
@@chud327 I will keep an eye out for you on here.
@@michaelkennedy2528 you never know, our paths may cross some day... What part of town are you?
@@chud327 I live in mandarin, have family in North Jax and friends all over North Florida. I have a few ideas that would be cool to make for the channel, not sure you have done it yet. Will get with you through email or something to see what your thoughts are on them.
@@michaelkennedy2528 perfect, you can leave a comment, Chud Channel on Facebook or even michaelfencik1@gmail.com, would give my number too, but phone might blow up... plus I usually keep the ringer off.
LT Johnson and the new mower looks the same a bit similar what do you think of the both
I love the way the new one sounds, but that VTwin is too heavy to do good wheelies. I like Lt Johnson better.... I actually sold the new to me lt1000 last Friday, but it will probably still make guest appearances. Thanks for watching.
Hey chi’s 327. What about a turbine powered race mower
That would be cool and thanks for watching!!
Hey chud it’s been a while since I’ve commented but I’m still a huge fan have been for a while. I love the projects and I can’t wait to see the next build. Also red s10 update?
I was just talking to a guy last Saturday about an engine. Hope to have some action soon. thanks for the huge fan part and thanks for watching.
I was just wondering why you always run the straight pipes. Is that something you need to do on a mud mowers. It just seems really loud to me. Thank you! Happy New Year my friend 🎉
It just sounds so good to me. Weird that I take the exhaust off then wears ear plugs ... Thanks for watching!!
I caught that!
Do you find that your axle seals leak when running higher speeds?
Not really, the one that I have that is leaking is older and not all that fast... Thanks for watching!!
what size is the front tires you put on?
you need to find a deck with it
Maybe the next one will have a deck and thanks so much for watching.
Carrollton where? I'm 30 mjles.frkm Carrollton Ga -USA...I have 2 LT1000's, one named Cain, and one Abel. Abel is a stock mower, waxed pretty, 17hp, present from my pastor. Cain is a legendary bastard, deck removed,
dozer blade from an old water heater and bedframe angle iron, angled and liftable with the deck arm, atv tires 22" and similar up front, 75 lbs of barbell weights bolted to the rear plate, 18.5hp briggs, and the 22" tires full of water and isopropyl for winters here.
The cheap chinese LED's in front aren't impressive, but with 110' tree canopy and a bazillion leaves, i can push them into 8' high rotpiles that are 6" by fall, push gravel, dirt, and mulch all year.
Wish i had your 6" pulleys; i never need my lower 3 gears!
sounds like a nice couple of brothers you have, would love to see them. I am about 20 minutes into Florida from Georgia, I am near Jacksonville. Thanks for watching.
Where do you find your lawn mowers?
Most are from marketplace or from friends. Good luck and thanks for watching!!
The gas pedal and cable is mounted correctly on a 24hp intek. But the governor takes much of the fun out of things 😂. I like your method of bypassing that nasty governor. My question is , is it OK to disable the governor and leave that steel deal spin its ass off with no arm ?
I don't know, but that is how I do it. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 thanks for the quick response. I will bypass that governor today after work. Thanks for all the cool videos. Very inspiring
where do you get that tractor tires ?
Most I have found used on Marketplace, just search often and you might find some too. thanks for watching and good luck.
If you don’t mind saying, how much does your tire changer cost? Because it looks really handy
I bought it probably 20 years ago from ebay and it was $51. They shouldn't be much higher these days. Super handy, wish I could use them on all mower tires, I need to make one for 5/8 inch axles... BTW, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
I beat pullys off just like that.
Been there and done that probably for most of us mower guys. thanks again for the comments.
Mud1000!
Good suggestion and thanks for watching!!
How do you make them go faster without swapping the engine
You do not have to touch the engine, just change the pulley size. Smaller size in the back or bigger ones n the front will speed them up. Thanks for watching!!
Do a mini bike video
I am thinking the same thing, lets see what happens... thanks for watching.
With the shape my mud mower is currently in it probably will be like $200 lol
It would take long to spend $200 on one .. thanks so much for watching!!
Do you have any master chiefs in your fleet? That would be appropriate with àll the Navy and Coast Guardsmen in Florida.
I do not yet, but will be trying to decide on a name soon. thanks for watching.
I got the same mower LT 1000 that burns oil really bad blows smoke bad any idea what it is? I Don’t use it anymore would be nice to fix it
Probably really worn out, it probably wants you to slap on a different engine and ride on... thanks so much for watching and good luck with it.
One of mime overheated from former owner not cleaning grass from fins and exhaust and the exhaust valve seat came loose, killing it. I just heated the cylinder head, slipped in the seat, PEENEDthe aluminum around it, reground the valve in, and it has KILLER power, easy start and my 2 rules:
1) Only run motors at speeds necessary
2) never run dirty oil.
It may outlive you.
You should lock the diff
I hope to lock some soon.Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
Yeah, I'll check it out. I enjoy your videos. Locking the diff is usually one of the first things I do when building a mower. I like building those lt1000 mowers. V twin with a locked 820 and its an animal
I love vtwins but the extra weight does make them handle differently.
Yeah, You can tell a difference. Next video is at 9:00PM, Zombie says be there.
@@chud327 can't get out of line with zombie you know what he'll do.
That broken WD40 can 😅 I know we've all been there.
All of us, multiple of times too!! Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
@@chud327 most definitely will sir. It's only 6:10 on the west coast 🤙
I also have some plates comin your way soon 👍
I have a like new starter off a 24hp vtwin if you need it?
I will keep that in mind, so far this one is perfect. BTW, the video for later is the river meet up video again. The first time there was a technical issue where only half uploaded and much if not all the zombie footage was missing. Hope you will be around for the chat!! BTW2 you tag is about to show up...
@chud327 thanks again for the shout outs , and awsome to see zombie!
the bad starter was a vanguard unit.
yeah, It may fit some vanguards too. thanks so much for watching.
All you need now is driving lessons
I should look into it. Thanks for watching!!
How do I fix my mud mower if I start it and then I let go of the clutch and it’s a neutral and the belt spins around with the pulley how do I fix it?
You mean the trans will not go in gear? Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
That as well but when I keep it in neutral, and I just let off the clutch, the belt keeps going around and it’s a very fast mower probably goes like 30 and I can just hear it going and going and going and I’m wondering if I can get rid of that so then it doesn’t do that and when I try and put it into gear without starting it in gear, it grinds
I still don't know what you're trying to say about the belt going, but with the grinding, it's obviously still partially engaged, so you either have too short a belt or your tensioner pulley linkage is sticking from rust. Pop the belt off a pulley to loosen, and make sure all the likages are working freely and not bent. I recommend using dry lube as it doesn't attract dirt and wearing things out.
My mower only runs on choke please help 😅 kohler 19.5 magnum v twin
Sounds like the main jet is stopped up or you have a major vacuum leak. I say take it apart and clean it and see what happens. Thanks for watching! Good luck!!
Where r u it looks like it's still nice out there here in northwest Michigan we got Abt 7 inches of snow
Nevermind I just watched more of the vid
Nice, I was in Michigan about a week ago hoping to see some snow, but instead I was in shorts and a t shirt... Thanks for watching and I am all the way down in Florida.
Thanks for watching more!!
I used mu old water heater body, some bed frame rails, odd & end scrap metal hooked to the old deck lift arm, and I push mulch, snow, leaf mountains, dirt and gravel with it.
Helps tho, with the 22" ATV tires in back and knobbys up front.
NOT a mower any more!
@@chud327yeah by Friday it will b back up it the 40 Michigan is just bipolar but rn my whole road is ice so it's fun to drift the mowers around on it
I need some tires
Yes, they make a world of difference. Thanks for watching.
THey are ALL the difference!
Have you ever took you're mud mowers at a gas station before
yes, a few times... thanks for watching.
@@chud327 what did people say to you
How is it going
So good, how about you? thanks for watching.
Oh I'm pretty good I meant how is that new mower going sorry about that
#TRUEFAN
Thanks so much and I so love hear that!!! Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
So what is the top speed?
I think it was about 18, but planning to do a more extreme pulley swap next. I was not impressed with the top speed. Thanks for watching!!
@@chud327 So I decided to put a 5 inch pulley on my mower, because I don't want to go super fast, but still have fun. I should have the parts by Friday and have it done by Sunday. As of right now it goes about 6 mph.
@@crazinesskid6254 that was my same thought, but I was kinda aiming for the 20’s. 18 is a lot better than 6. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks so much!! BTW - too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
So you went from a 9" pulley to a 5" pulley and the belt was 95" and you went to a 90". So if you take the inches you took away from the pulley and take them away from the belt the math should be: 9-5=4 and 95-90=5 with the inch shorter.
So when i pulley swap mine with a 3" rear, i should probably use a 88" belt.
Because 9-6=3 and 95-6=89 and you had to use an inch shorter.
Close to right, but I ended up needing a 90 inch. Will have to test the theory more in the future.. Thanks for watching. BTW, I have another video coming out in a little over an hour, hope you will check it out.
@@chud327 Definitely will watch it! I love watching your videos as I can't really do much with my mower right now and I'm obsessed with them lol.
@@crazinesskid6254 see you there!!
@@chud327 do you have an Ohio plate yet? Might send one if it's not too expensive
It seems to be an obssive hobby for all who enter...but I'm 70 with a Harley down...more later.
I think I'm first!
Looks like you are first, too bad I messed up the premiere. Maybe another video tonight where we can have a second chance in an hour or so. Hope you will be there to chat!! Thanks so much for watching.
@@chud327 I don't see why not...
The name of the new mower should be rusty
Great suggestion and thanks for watching.
My last name is bender. It is german. Would you please call is Spc Bender?
Will keep that in mind, might do another let people make donations to pick or name. I have not decided yet.. thanks for watching.
Fix the mini bike
I hope to work on it when I get a little caught up on some projects. thanks for the request and for waching.
If you build that mini bike, you will have to call out Isaac, Charles and John, and race them at Mini Mayhem!
That would be very cool! Thanks for watching!!
reminds me of my lt1000, just like lt johhnson but not as nice, and has a v twin
Very cool and thanks you for watching!!
@chud327 So you only did 2 things to make it faster? 1.cut the muffler off. 2. changed the pulley from a 9" - 5"?
I have 2 LT1000 a 16hp and a17.5 hp intec.
Would really like to get a set of them tires but have no clue where I can even find them? are they 4 wheeler tires?
Pulley swapping is the easiest way to get good speed, I get most of my tires from marketplace.. thanks for watching!!
Work on the mini bike!!!!!
I hope to start on it soon, thanks for the request and thanks for watching!!
