How much more speed?
 

Can I get out of my Original if I add the chrome hood ornament?! :beerchug:

I was working on the clutch/brake adjustment today, and noticed I have holes in the front of the hood, but nothing there. Hmmm, I ordered a few parts from a vendor, and there was a scruffy hood ornament for sale for $50. Gulp. I passed.

Now, if someone wants to donate one --- I will not abuse it, much.

Oddly enough, the original with a 7 hp engine (underrated) had a top speed in 1961 of 8.5 mph and my 2008 zero turn with 23 hp engine has a top speed of 8.5 mph. Of course these are stock speeds with no mods.

I'm going to try to find one of those massive ones from the 30s off a Packard, or Lincoln, or Peerless. Something gaudy, and offensive. That's the plan.

How much more speed ?
 

Made the 105 .005 sec. faster !

Better get one, gotta get that extra speed man! :biggrin2:

I imagine you should be able to get about 5 mph more outta it!

How about one of these? I have thought about putting it on one of my tractors, but don’t really want to drill any holes.
