With Harley pulling the mower at 20 MPH it won't take long to get the barnyard cut.

I hope that hat has a chin guard. A lot of hats have been mowed up like that. Looks like fun but you won't get that longggg seat time like I get on my loboy.

Would it be possible to see some close ups of the engine on the Cub? It looks for be slightly modified. What size engine is in there?

It is a 142 hp 3.0 v6 from a Chrysler minivan.

WOW! It looks like it belongs in there! By chance, I hate to ask for more pictures, but would it be possible to see more? Perhaps, the whole process. If it is too much of a hassle, could you PM me and I we can maybe send pics over the email? Thank you by the way for the pic. How does she sound?

All I can say is that is wicked awesome! WOW! I love the flappers at idle. Too cool! It was an awesome job on the overall project. It looks professional from what I can see on the video/picture. Do you use it for any work or is it just for the awesome factor? Thank you for posting the video. I am amazed!

Harley was built by one of our members .. Rick Prentice. He is an awesome fabricator. He also built the Backhoe Cub .. just cause

That's amazing. If I were to fab something like that up, I'd try to make it look as close to stock as possible and take it to pulls. The ultimate Sleeper Cub! I guarantee it'd turn every head.

Mike, take note that Bob said "Nomex" not "Spandex".

With all that horsepower going to waste, why not hang a 72 inch woods mower under Harley?
