Nice throttle respons.. What a Awesome Idle can it runs a bit Slower at Idle It Sounds so much Better.... What Kind of farm do you live on and how many animals on the farm Best regards J.
Awesome sounding Kohler brother! Even a beautiful color paint too! What's that like a old Chrysler color? Looks similar to Plumb Cazy purple? For a NA engine with dual flat slides and a decent sized cam, she has some decent HP and torque!? Really isn't grandpa's lawnmower engine anymore LOL!
Something I find crazy is I got a pulling lawn mower with a built kohler v twin on it and it has a 28lbs flywheel plus all the extra from the clutch and adapters and it revs every bit as fast as this thing if not faster and it’s on alky as well
im assuming you had smaller carbs on it, this engine had to big of a carbs on it. we build a another kohler with smaller carbs and the throttle response was way better,
It’s sick I just hate that standard steering setup for racing mowers. It’s so ugly and protruding. I went with a rack and pinion and ran the steering linkage on the bottom of the frame. I know you might have rules to follow on your build tho if your actually entering a race with it
You gotta talk to me about this engine build. I have 3 Kohler commands one running, the other 2 were blown and can be rebored. Mwsc says that their parts aren’t meant for racing, or vertical engine builds only tractor pulling. Please respond to this comment so I can ask you more about how this performed.
hey so the pistons and rods they sell are good for racing. camshaft is a different thing tho. youll need a racing camshaft, due to the fact for pulling they use a bit different platform of camshaft. go to arc racing and get the billet flywheel there its what i run and it works well. then im running the billet rods and pistons from MWSC. i run a stock crank and if you want to get fancy like i did, have the crank balanced with the rods and pistons. i still have a camshaft and a set of well flowed oringed heads for sale im willing to sell. i have some other stuff to. my name on facebook is jasper jansen in canada if you want to private message me.
this is a kohler command engine. most of the sound is in the exhaust. i build another race mower with a kohler engine, and the engine sounds a bit different due to a different exhaust design. ill be posting a new video this week
it wasnt very economical but it had so much power it didnt really matter to much. chassi couldnt handle the power, we have since build a new chassi and it handles the power much better
I work on little motors every day but I never really think about one revving up unless it's a little 2 stroker... I am gonna go stare at my 22hp John Deere for a while, it's not living up to it's potential.
@little farmer 101 Did you do anything to the bottom end? I have been tinkering with the idea of a rider in a go-cart-ish configuration with a JD deck that drops off easy for a couple weeks now and this added the idea of race tires to the design
@@GuysPlayingWithTools my enginehas the balanced crank, billter rods, pistons, roller cam and rockers, titanium valves and flowed heads, and billet flywheel. but a stock kohler with some minor mods and a billet flywheel will run 5 6000rpm and make for a fun engine

parts can all be found at midwest super cub, this engine has billet rods and pistons, roller rockers, and billet special ground cam. stock crankshaft. flowed heads.,
i dont have a video but do have a quite a few pictures of my new mower i build that i could upload. then make a video after of the mower explaining certain things.
Hi so i have a question so the next lawn mower i build im planning on using a kohler v twin im not gonna go crazy with the mods probably just a mikuni carburetor and billet rods but i was wondering if the stock cast iron flywheel would still hold up with the governor delete or do i have to get a billet flywheel
i do not know if they will hold. i also havent seen one fly apart yet. thing is tho if it does are you ready to eat pieces of flywheel lol. my opinion if your gunna do billet rods do a billet flywheel. the stock kohler rods can take some abuse so maybe invest in a flywheel first.
we still use the frame rails of a mower, all mowers like these are all home made basically. but yes basically its a go kart with a highly modified engine between your legs lol
@@jasperjansen100 ohh okay. i figured it was a go kart frame with the seat being lower and the side bars. i keep seeing all these builds with the higher seat height but i like the lower seat height more and cant find any videos on how to build one like that
@@muddybasilisk7526 plenty of work done. But a start is to flow the heads and put a different cam in and then make a straight pipe header.

Harley has also been quiet since this dropped!
Need's a slower idle man that would make it sound even more bad ass!!
Don't think that thing would run with a longer delay
@@MrDino-hp7fy Good point..
@FukTheGovernment465 possible with a heavy billet flywheel and adjustment. Otherwise lower idle lol.
I gotta built 18hp briggs twin with headers. I just start it and let it sit in the drive while I grab a chair and drink beer. It sounds that good.
Dang that thing sounds good 👌🏽 good job on that dud
Just picked up a 21horse Kawasaki v twin for 150 bucks, no problems with it at all hell of a deal, imma build a crazy go cart lol

thank you. we just build a new and improved motor for the new chassi. will upload a video of it soon.
In one of your videos that little kid sure knows how to ride. I bet you that little kid would do pretty good on the track and only 5 years old.

check out some of my other videos, there is two videos of my new build, the red international. still have to get some time to upload a racing video.
@@jasperjansen100 ill makesure to check them out to
That's sick can you make a totorial on how to make the horizontal thing spin sideways
It’s a vertical shaft mtr not a horizontal shaft ..
Can you show the set up of pulleys? Please
Nice chop... sounds fabulous
Looks awesome!
That’s badass what you got all done to it
I need to see more of these
hey thats my old engine lol
sweet ride bro
Pretty amazing machinery
Every kid's true dream
Nice throttle respons.. What a Awesome Idle can it runs a bit Slower at Idle It Sounds so much Better....

Nice
It's Kolher 18hp.......
The sound is very very very good
Definitely isnt 18hp anymore probably pushing 25

Reminds me of Crash Team Racing.

Sir do you have any alcohol in your system? Yes sir a full tank of it!

Are you using what type of motor are you using I want Mike over then I'm going to be building the sound like that and love the sound of that nice
this is a kohler command engine. most of the sound is in the exhaust. i build another race mower with a kohler engine, and the engine sounds a bit different due to a different exhaust design. ill be posting a new video this week
💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥🔥
Im looking to build something similar, what'd you all do to it?
So im kinda new to this whole engine and mower thing how do you swap it to achohol?
How many parts did you have to replace to make it sound like that? Also, you a kohler guy?
everything but the crank pretty much lol.
Where can I find aftermarket parts for my 12 horse Briggs
Does the exhaust not cause power loss in front of the carbs when moving?
it wasnt very economical but it had so much power it didnt really matter to much. chassi couldnt handle the power, we have since build a new chassi and it handles the power much better
Why does this sounds like it would cost me 90k from dodge but it’s probably no more than 10
Brother please tell me you got a video of the build. I need inspiration 😂😂
check out my other video it goes over my new build which is mucchhhh better then this lol its rocking a even more powerfull engine then this.
@jasperjansen100 what stuff did you do to the motor? I could tell u got stock flywheel but I assume you know it could blow if revving to high
@@RevHeadz95 it has a billet flywheel on there. engine had billet internals flowed heads roller rockers and cam.

What fuel are you using ?
Were you at Capitol City Speedway last weekend?
the mower has been sold i have build a couple new ones since, this one is still hanging around in ontario tho
That actually made me laugh
Not talking crap I just think it's funny bc the cam chop and fast acceleration

centrifugal clutch chain from engine to right angle gear box then from right angle gearbox to the rear axle

Yea tahts about as low as shes gonna go if its really that twacked out
Is this alcohol converted or can I just pour some into mine and it’ll run just fine
i converted it to run alcohol. it need almost double the amount of alcohol as it would need fuel to run.
