- I just sold the best Mudmower/ offroad mower I've ever built. This thing was a TROOPER! Light, quick, nimble, capable. Never let me down, never made me do the "tow of shame". ALWAYS drove out. I'm on to larger and greater projects. Is this the end of Fugazi? God I hope not, but its new life was off to a bad start...
Quick specs: Murray Select with a "widebody" hood. 16hp Briggs vanguard V-twin, governor turned up, pullstart from a 10hp diesel, dual full length exhaust. 6 to 5.5 pulley setup, Doc Locker modded Peerless 820 6 speed. 4x12 ags up front, 22x11-8 ITP Swamp Lites out back. Hydraulic disc brake from a racing go kart and lots of custom work.
So sorry about your friend doc. Just found your channel this week when looking up ways to wire my Murray project and absolutely fell in love with fugazi I was bummed to hear you lost that fire. I hope Chris puts another amazing human in your path to bring that fire back. Cheers from the garden state!
Hey. Just wanted to say that we miss you on here and hope things are going welk and that we see you back online here some time soon.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm working on an idea or two. You'll see me again, I'm sure.
I would of been so aggravated seeing that to one of my projects. Not having any one to ride with I why I tend to never do any work to any of my many projects I don't see the point in myself doing it. Sorry for your loss of Chris. I was actually wondering why I havnt seen much from ya in a while
I’m sorry for your loss. There comes a time we all move on to different things. I unfortunately moved on to the more expensive hobby lol. Mowers were definitely cheaper than build a truck frame off that’s for sure. I always liked watching your videos man so no matter what you do keep making them. God Bless.
It’s so sad I’ve fallen in the same way because I loved Cris and we always talked and you and him years ago got me into it ❤️
And I'm sorry to hear about ur buddie
I'm sorry about your best friend, Doc. He got you into the mud/trail mower scene and you inspired me to build my tractor. You taught me everything I know now about building and repairing them with your videos. The knowledge you pass along with your videos will keep Chris' memory alive for years to come.
Thank you for every video you've made.
He didn't actually get me into this stuff, but he definitely helped keep me motivated. Thank you.
@@DocSprocket I can't wait to see what you do with Swamp Donkey and hope you get time to make more videos.
Saw the FB post first and literally went "what? nooooo" out loud. Cant believe you sold it. That build inspired me.
It makes me happy that I inspired you.
Awesome lawn tractor. The exhaust sounds great. I noticed that you made lots of lawn tractor and go-kart rebuild video. Hipa happend to suplies DIYers with high quality after-market small engine parts and I'm wondering are you up for a collaboration? Maybe we would work together to help more people in the community by sharing more tips on small engine repair and rebuild and I'm more than happy to help you with the parts you need.
Probably the coolest lawnmower you had, can't believe you got rid of it!! 😥
Thank you. Coolest mower award goes to Diesel Weasel (in my opinion), but this was definitely my best offroad/mudmower. I've actually got a bit of seller's remorse, especially after seeing him backflip it.
@DocSprocket Now time for a line up of all our rigs and the condition they are in
Very sad it is a cool tractor. I am still very interested in the new drive train for swamp donkey
Your videos got me motivated to start a mud mower project Ontario proud hope to one day see the donkey get some mud
back in college bought my dream truck with pell grant money 1976 ford highboy suspension lift kit body lift kit aluminum slot wheels over size tires repainted it midnight blue most beautiful truck entire parking lot but cops would'nt leave me alone ended up selling it to a friend he gave it to his son 1st day the kid drove it rolled it all smashed to hell still sitting in that gravel pit upside down they said i could have it back but don't want it now hurts too much
Man I remember when I brought that machine out to ya.... and swapped hoods with ya lol
Yep, and I sure do appreciate it.
Great video Doc! And awesome tractor! I'm glad I had the chance to romp with you and fugazi when I had the chance!!
There's still chances, I still have Swamp Donkey!
I hear ya Doc, not having a riding buddy can reduce the enjoyment significantly. I'm already starting to contemplate my endgame with all the rigs I have. Good luck and hope to see what you have in store for the Swamp Donkey. Have a good day my friend.
I could be wrong ,, I don't think it was lack of skill ,, it was Fugazi saying get off me ..
That was probably it. The tractor threw me off so fast lol
Glad to see you posted a video. Sorry you sold your rig. Like you said hope it went to a good home.
Holy, welcome back man.
Thank you!
AWESOME! That sound is amazing!
It is SO sexy in person!
Unfortunately life events can change things and our desires.
I'm getting ready to sell my 4th gen firebird I've owned for 19 yrs, it just sits and needs more work than I want to put in, bittersweet.
Its back up for sale already on facebook 😂
Saw that...
@@DocSprocket its a awesome machine. I was looking at it and was like i seen this tractor before
He probably thought he couldn’t handle it
Noooo 😢
And then he flips it over backwards the same day 🤦🏻♂️
