I planning on build my first mower this year but due to work and the birth of my second child I haven’t got it ready so I’m aiming for next season. I have a couple question what is are some good pulley size to with if I was building a stock mod? Also can i use the factory motor pulley? The next is does anyone have a trick to get the rear rims off they are rusted and I can’t seem to get them off. Lastly what is the best way to lock the diff ?

Depending on the rear end u are using a 7 to 8 inch driver pulley on the engine to a 4 to 5 inch driven pulley on the trans is usually a good place to start. A set of oxy acetylene torches is probably ur best friend for removing rusted wheels and pulleys. B careful how much Heat u use on things like the engine crankshaft and transmission because it is possible to use too much and melt the aluminum housings. It is even possible to set the tires on fire while heating the wheel hubs. B patient and use lots of penetrating oil (after it has cooled)as well. Twice a day for a week wouldnt b unheard of, it makes a huge difference. Need to know what rear end u have to suggest some ways to lock it. Look for a tag somwhere. There is also an option of buying a machine that is already prepped. Somtimes its even cheaper. Lol. Good luck.

IMO, ya welding the spiders is quik and easy. Ive done three now and had no truble at all. U wudnt want to go much smaller than four inches on the trans pulley due to surface area and stressing the belt by causing to much bend in it. That makes heat and cracks and wears out the belt faster
