I did this in under 20 mins. Maybe some of you guys have cool modded riding mowers..? Please share! '99 GSX GT35R '03 CBR 600RR

Am actually using a 18hp Briggs and Stratton. High flow fuel filter. And that's it. I'd like to upgrade the deck wheels from the hard plastic ones to the air filled independent suspension ones. Welding if necessary. '99 GSX GT35R '03 CBR 600RR

If I plan to do a build it will be one that can still be used for cutting. "Old Blue" 91 Talon TSi AWD "Super Enthusiast" 91 Talon TSi AWD Checkout DSMFAQ.com!

POR15 and likely weld up some new brackets to mount some heavier duty air filled tires. If there was only a way I could an AWD swap. '99 GSX GT35R '03 CBR 600RR
