:werd: I broke the front end of our John Deere doing wheelies when I was 14, I had to mow alot of other peoples lawns to fix our lawn mower...It would pull the tires NO PROBLEM however it ran out of power fast and came crashing down.

:stupid:

My old 91 craftsmen 12 hp garden tractor, used to do wheelies all the time!!!!!!, the sad part is I broke it when I had to pull my car out of a "puddle" :-( now I have a walk along mower, every now and then it rips up the grass! and a few times at work we got the craftsmen to do wheelies. it was when 1. we had about 200 pounds of cynder blocks on the back and 2. when my freind was on back of the trailer and we went mudding, some of you know Im a pretty big kid, well my freind isnt but we went up a little 2 foot hill and all of the sudden I just stopped and leaned back, I got it to about 85 degrees in the air!! multiple times..cause we got stuck!! :-o 8-)

bent a pushrod today will have it fixed tomorrow hopefully, lol and when i pulled the wheels off the ground, i mean it pulls em off (easily more than 1 foot). if it wasnt for the hitch/wheelie bar in the back it would flip over on me. and for the record, it pulled the wheels stock too, but nothing to brag about tho, lol

ill go to Teps tomorrow after work, and get pushrods and stuff. hopefully i get footage tomorrow!! sorry to leave yall hanging today :(

My old Snapper mower with the industrial 11hp Briggs would pull the fronts a few feet in the air with full throttle 2nd gear launches. I used to get yelled at a lot for that....

LOL i wont argue with ya there

my friend and his dad work at a small engine/mower shop in northfield
so he's gonna hook me up. hehehehehe

best wheelie i had before it broke was 2+ feet high and i could ride the wheelies out for close to 20'

But, at least its a cheaper hobby then my car and it too is fun as hell!! :burnout:
future mods- reversing the pulleys around for more top end!! i wanna try to hit like 30mph at least

hahah you should be able to adjust your clutch/brake by turning an adjuster nut.

yoo in know why those snappers lift the wheels so good stock- Rear mounted engine + no weight on front end =of course!! lol

just wait till i get my parts, lol!!
