- Our 80s Suzuki GS450 powered lawn mower build gets revived for some big improvements in today's video! We're making changes to the steering, gearing, and brakes to better handle the power from the 450cc twin cylinder and six speed transmission, and then rip it around the yard!
Thanks for Watching!

"if you work for OSHA look away" got me lol, I am OSHA certified but I support this lol
Lol im 15 and im OSHA certified
I'm an ndt certified inspector, i support this message.
The jankyness and redneckery of the lathe is brilliant
Brilliantly dangerous....spend a couple shekels and get the correct motor and ditch the phase converter.
Yee Yee!! 😂😂
You should live around here ... that's just the tippy top of the iceberg
@@jacksonms212 bro I live in a wooded town in the middle of Maine I'm the definition of redneckery lol
It's why I come to this channel lol
my favorite part is how certain Issac was that the lathe would work then cut to him being amazed that it did.
my favorite part is how many times we get taught how to install a sprocket correctly.
ive built zero go karts and really dont intend to but i know 10000% how the numbers have to be on the correct side
Yeah, OSHA is horrified, electricians are mad, and machinists are cringing in horror. Have no fear. It's just a Cars and Cameras video
"Is this where we get yelled at by the machinist??" LOL!!! I'm a machinist and it cracked me up!!!!
Dang, go Charles for carrying the show at the end there.
Issac cutting off that pipe for a brake drum is literally the epidomy of Cars & Cameras and I fing loved it.
You should support and center the open end of that pipe, or a cutter will jamb on it and go flying... never hold a piece with the jaws alone that sticks out more than 2 inches.
Steady rest
Everytime I see them do something with a lathe, I cringe a little. I wish one of them would spend a day with an old timer machinist and just learn as much as they can. I'd hate to see someone get injured on that thing. A lathe is one of the most dangerous tools you can own, and none of them seem to be thoroughly trained on how to operate one.
-machinist of 10 years
I wish I lived closer I would make all their precision parts plus teach them how.
But alas, it can't be.
Automotive machinist, heavy equipment machinist, foreign car shop machinist, aircraft machinist/welder and carpet mill machinery designer, fabricator, mechanic, welder and machinist.
Old as dirt, cranky ex-military type that loves to teach what he knows.
Been watching stuff spin in chucks since I was seven. Decided to retire and do the same damned thing at home.
LOL!
Maybe some day guys!
Cheers from South Carolina!

Ladies and gentlemen the world's first friction lawn mower. No more worrying about blades. Tire friction is the future of lawn care!!!
This is one of my favorite builds. Perfect balance of looks, performance, and handling! And for god's sake, will you PLEASE turn up your wire feed speed!!! Watching you guys MIG literally makes my brain itch.
Hi! No welding experience here, looking to get a mig to start working on my own mini bike, why the faster wire speed? Educate me please.
@@3v068 as a inexperienced welder, I would guess having such a slow feed speed, would slow down the weld which could create too much heat in specific spots?
However...these guys are professional " gap " welders, as I am....sometimes a slower speed helps....
Your Pal BigBadBubbaBurns
Amen! It doesn't sound like a box of buzzing bees
A mig should sound like frying bacon.
It is so good to see the 3 stooges have reformed for all new performances, so John is Moe Charles is Curley I guess that leaves you Ike as Larry or shemp?
Never a dull moment in the CARSANDCAMERAS GARAGE!😁😁😁
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
That is by far the best thing you have ever made.
We need a cars and cameras+red beards garadge collab, that would be the coolest thing ever!!!❤
The perfect balance of savagery and engineering... pure brilliance
This episode is very reminiscent of the backyard builds of the old school Cars and Cameras
When Ike's having fun you can't help but smile :)
The safety glasses hand-off while doing donuts was glorious. Well done boys
Staircase post drums.....freakin' brilliant!
Chucky, from what we did see of you ripping it down the taxi way, you made me proud. Good job tearing it up 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Rotary phase converters are actually fairly simple to make from what I've seen! They use a larger 3 phase motor that you Jumpstart with a smaller motor on single phase once the 3 phase motor spins up it generates the missing phases
Best...Line...Ever!!!
"I feel like Clark Griswold "...😂
Isaac the daredevil the man is a legend when it comes to driving!!
Great job cobbling the lathe back together guys…. Plug it into a power strip and you’ll have an ON/OFF switch. It’ll be fine!
7:40 ingenuity at its finest
Best part of the day is watching you guys play.😅😂😮
It's crazy how many likes yall get in an hour. I bet yall never expected to be loved by so many people
You guys working on the lathe was too funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
“I feel like Clark Griswold.” 🤣
Awesome idea useing that stair case pole for the brake drums that's get R done enginenewty right there keep it up guys 😁👍
Those squarebody trucks at the car show was so beautiful on how clean and factory they were especially the white one
This episode was a treat.
Wound for Sound Charles makes another appearance!
The seldom quoted sentence that comes just before, "Here, hold my beer..." "See, all you gotta do is ___________."
I am an electrician, those converters are about 60% what they say output current is rated for. Definitely need to build one with an old motor rotary style.
Also an electrician and completely agree, or really for as light duty as that lathe is going to be used for they could probably find a 220 single-phase motor that would be fine in place of the 3-phase it's got in it.
agreed, it will be the inrush and "stall" currents during cutting that will be killing your converter box!!
They should just get a VFD, they're not that expensive, and you can program current limits so it won't burn out the drive. Single to 3 phase VFD's are a little harder to find, but they're definitely out there. Pretty sure you can get them at Grainger.
@@andrewt9204 they don't need variable speed though, that lathe is setup for the motor to run constant speed since it runs through a gearbox, they do them like that so you can get exact repeatable rpm's for thread cutting and tool feeding, you would lose a lot of the usefulness of owning a lathe that way
@@Greg1096I was gonna say, im not an electrician yet (in school to be one) and Im a bit unsure of why theyd use a 3 phase lathe in a shop like they have. The one my buddy has in his shop is a single phase and it does everything we need just fine
Please enter this thing into the burnout comp at a Cletus & Cars event🤘🏽
Dude the doughnut glasses hand off. Was epic Charles!!!!
With the number of subscribers, views, and patreon members you guys have you can afford an appropriate 220v single phase motor for that lathe. I would have went that route before buying a phase converter in the first place.
Exactly what I was thinking, would take about 5 minutes with a grainger book to get exactly what they need, would be well worth the money to avoid the headache of messing with phase converters
Ike woke up this morning, & chose violence. That yard got absolutely shredded.
That's stupidly insane... I LOVE IT!
A little advice from a machinist, buy a set of transfer punches, they are an absolute blessing when you need to have your holes in the correct spot.
“Put it in reverse Terry” WAY funnier than it was intended to be
Gotta say, those front brakes are pretty slick. Well done!
The new Land-borghini Zero Turn Sport Mower !
A tip from a fellow backyard machinist: Don't be afraid to do a hacksaw part, or even use an angle grinder for parting - machine parting isn't all it's cracked up to be.
love the small jokes and comments yall have when doin the work. feels like were right there with ya watching in amazement
"Jibbly bits" and a Clark Griswold reference. My new favorite episode of C&C.
Love the other end of steering shaft
And there is a perfect example of why lights and outlets are supposed to be wired on separate breakers, with 14-2 for 110v lights and 12-2 for 110v outlets. Time to run some different conduit and wire to the lights. Reminds me of old houses where the furnace or boiler is wired into the basement lights. So when the breaker is turned off to do the work, you've got to have good work lights, flashlights, and headlamps to get the job done.
Snagging those glasses during donut was baller af
The brake set up is by far the best part of the video😂🤙🏼 awesome man
Sick lathe upgrade!
This Old Man from Washington NC always looking forward to your Wednesday Video 👍. No disappointment in the quality and laughs 🤣. Charles great show at the airport. Really enjoyed meeting you and your Wife. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
I am so hyped that you guys are machining parts now;
If ya'll ever need something CNC'd or 3D printed, give me a shout 😊 I would love to help
I was constantly checking to see if the post had come up last night. Worth the wait with another awesome episode of 'the mower'.
Love reading comments.
Please organize a few more race days on your backyard tracks with the Lads, as they're the vids I always go back to.
Luv the GS450 mower. One of your coolest builds! 👌👌
Nothing is as permanent as a temporary fix that works.
I see Isaac and John were thinking just like I was a tillotson 212cc electrical start. A muffler for a 70 ft ventilated to the outside with an anti bird catch on it to keep birds from a nest and if you can get enough R. P. M. You can run it govered. That way you don't overload a ceriert at least that would be reliable in your venting all the and you have a low voltage high power output device. By the way this is my second time watching this video.. peace out to have an excellent 👍👍👍👍
From a checkered floor to 1million subscribers is insane, you guys are killing it 🔥🤘🏻
Whole lotta DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME in this one
Love it 😂
i bought this old minibike, i dont know what it is and i need some info if you can help id love to find some info any way i could get photos to yall?
@@shaunzamenick5157 nope
When yall gonna make a jet engine from a car or truck turbo ..and take it to the strip ?
All I heard was hold my beer and watch this
Love the long discussion before…. I probably need to just cut off as much as I can, huh? 🤣🤣
On your phase converter, always get one that is double what the machine’s amp rating is. It’ll keep you from burning them up.
Those phase shifters like they are using even when sized I per the rated amps still tend to shit the bed pretty regularly in my experience, been doing industrial electric for longer than I would care to admit and every time one of the factories I service tries to cheap out with one of these I've never seen it be reliable, IMO rotary phase converter is the only way to go unless you want to have 3-phase service installed
Just when I thought you guys couldn’t get more sketchy you proved me wrong 😂😂😂 I’m shocked that Ike didn’t break it 😬
This is by far my favorite build of yours so far.
If you put the steering bracket on the front back the way it was you could keep all of the drift angle by replacing the linkage rod from the steering wheel to the shaft with a chain and sprocket setup, that way by going from a small sprocket on the steering wheel to a larger one on the shaft you lower the gear ratio of the steering both giving you slower/easier steering but retaining all the movement of the link rods in the front
I think we need to talk about how that post from the stairs was the perfect fit to build your brake drums.... That was incredible.
Hello, Your service is top notch, I always love it. Perfect balance between looks, performance and handling! , looks great. I'm also looking at your stuff, I'm building an electric car.
I'm not bugged they put a 120V motor on the lathe, it actually makes a lot of sense and should work just fine (please make a good mounting setup for the motor, add a tensioner pulley to the belt on their replacement motor, and add a switch). First things first if you do get a lightswitch, they work just fine for this sort of stuff. They're made to handle this sort of load and if you're worried about it then get a 20 amp switch just to be safe. Second things second, when you're cutting like you were, I suggest getting an acid brush and a small cup then brushing on a little bit of gear oil to add some lubrication when cutting or machining.
Great job getting the drums built for the brakes.
That ratchet strap on the motor was in perfect tune 😂
Counter clockwise them jiggly bits! 😂
This is just how my 1910 12’ Seneca falls lathe works. It had a big 220 motor originally but my dad put a 110 on it when we put it in the basement. Works awesome.
You guys really blew the budget on your event banner!
🤣😂🤣
I’m a machinist and I love the lathe jankary 😂
I was almost a little disappointed that the lathe didn’t get a Tillotson 😂
Ike you did a good job on that little drum. I worked in the machine shop in HS and really enjoyed it and learned stuff that just stuck with me, never forgot. That was over 20 years ago!
Going from Inheritance Machining's channel to this video was quite a shock :D
Love what you do guys, keep it up!
bad assery. This one is the best
Awesome video! LOVE YOU UNCLE ISAAC!
Good looking drum 21:23
I received my shirt today and sticker absolutely love it thanks yall
you definitely need a rotary phase converter
They just need to get a 220v motor and convert it over to single phase, that's what I did with my bridgeport mill a couple years ago, they aren't going to be using the lathe heavily or doing any parts large enough to overload it
love watchin yall, yall do the stuff me and my friends want to do
Awesome Build! Can't wait to see more of the cummins kart
Thanks for the hard work and passion John. Good stuff all you guys
Such an awesome mower cart guys!
Good improvising with your lathe too.
Always enjoy your video’s.
Ive been watching you guys for years...this is so awesome. good to see so many subs. 😎
That thing bad ass I'd love to have one lol
Turn your brake drum pipe around in the lathe so you are parting off next to the lathe chuck. No vibration or chatter that way.
Tillison 212 Laith would be insane
Stage 3 predator powered lathe needs to happen!
This build is awsome! That thing is quick!
I think this is my favorite project! And I have watched you guys since the beginning!!!!!
The main problem with using a 110v motor instead of a 220v is that the 110v is double the amperage for the same size hp motor. The lathe motor is also three phaze. Which is what the phaze converter is for. A rotary phaze converter is the best option when you don't have three phaze in the building, but they are expensive! What you should get is a tried and true static phaze converter. You can test the motor to see if the motor is bad or if its the phaze converter. You just need a multimeter. Search how to test the resistance of the windings on a three phaze motor.
For as light use as that lathe is going to be they could just find an appropriate size 220v motor and replace the 3-phase that's in it, since it's running through a gearbox the motor only has to run at a constant speed and they aren't going to be doing any huge parts to overload it, I did something similar for my bridge port mill to avoid having to buy a phase converter and it's been running that way for almost a decade now.
32:05 First year of the Square Body
Always the kings of sketchy!!! That machine looks awesome!!!
knowledge is power
Bigger sprocket on the front gives it more power bottom end and smaller sprocket on the back gives it more top end so if you want more speed it's always best to change both 👍💚💛❤️
It’s time to take this thing to the dirt oval
Love the mower
The pipe for the brake drum..... 🤯
Nice
