[24] Budgets GT1000

#Buildoff2024

So my other build got Cancelled due to an accident and I scrapped it BUT I saved some of the parts to build this one, it's an LT1000 but now it's basically a light GT, and for lack of a better name imma call it the GT1000. Kinda cheated a little but TRUST me there is a lot of work left to do on this rig. Here we are so far. Huge PIC DUMP!!!


















Approved MightyRaze 5/5/24

[adm]Welcome back to the Build-Off[/adm]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you have more than 50% left.

I haven't explained anything I'm doing to it yet, But that single intek isn't staying, I wanna build a high rpm high compression flattie or a oppy haven't found an oppy but I have like five ol flatties and an welder to build a sick exhaust and a long intake runner but whatever i build is getting one of those Donaldson ztr air breather things modified for a snorkel where the current gas tank is and I wanna get the belt as slip resistant as possible so i can do some deep mudding with it. Also I do have a turbo... Or maybe 2 waiting on an oppy lol.

The holey pulley mod is great if you want to prevent belt slip. My wheel horse has it and grips great with the stock clutch spring.

Went shopping lol

Looks like a craftsman with a dynamark/husky hood.

Why does it say "turbo twin cylinder" on the side?

Probably because it had a"turbo cool" Briggs engine.  Just a marketing ploy.

Pfffff. You gotta be kidding me. Now, a for real turbo'd oppy would be quite a sight.

This oppy unfortunately isnt gonna be turboed it's goin to be a experiment to see how high I can rev one before total destruction, But as soon as I find a pressure lubed oppy with a filter I have everything to turbo one I'm going also build my turbo header with this motor and all the piping, but the biggest hurdle is where to put the turbo with the dynamark hood swap, the engine will have to be mounted backwards the way it sits now, but this parts mower has a good mst206 and a good 19.5 oppy but the rest of the tractor is trash.

WHAT! YOU CAN'T JUST BLOW UP A GOOD ENGINE LIKE THAT! That's reprehensible!

Can you fit the engine turned 90*?  @redlinemotorsportts  did that on his MTD Build, I always thought that was awesome.

Like @RichieRichOverdrive says, they are pretty forgivable.  Experience has showed me that when they get revved too high, the valve float will just bring it back down like fuel shutoff governed newer cars.  That begins just over 5K.  At least with the engines I have.

The ninety degree idea is a pretty neat idea, I picked up some more parts for free a whole side shaft oppy and craftsman gt it's pretty much scrap but I can salvage the parts to convert a free vertical oppy for another project. Anyway I don't wanna just blow up the engine I'm going to fine tune it and figure out how high it can revv and it's limits so I can setup my turbo engine properly, also with haspin so close I hope and can iron out this rig enough to take it. I'm going to badlands this weekend if anybody is going to be nearby.
