We are in the process of building a land speed record lawnmower, using a Cub Cadet transaxle and a V-twin Kohler. Right now on a 300′ pulling track and dragging a 10,000 lb weight transfer sled we are having ground speed (track speed) of 30 mph with a 50 mph gear, I think with a little regearing we should easily get there and we don’t use pulleys, that’s a pityful way to do it, we just use stock gearing now that’s a lawnmower to do it with stock gearing.

I have raced mowers for three years and that is going 50mph on a 1/12th mile track with a 8hp briggs n’straton engine and a stock mower rear end. To get speed all you need to do is get the right pullies like a 7:3 ratio will push you to 55-60 no problem (thats a 7inch front to a 3inch rear). a 7:2 or 8:1 would probable get you to 80-90mph. for some real fun contact me a kennethg089@yahoo.com and leave me a message and i will try to answer any questions you have FREE OF CHARGE. this is to see how fast we can ge a MOSTLY STOCK LAWN MOWER. if you want to put stupid shit on it like a booster bottle or nos or a gocart tramsmission then it is up to you.

If your using a bike or snowmobile engine, then its not a lawn mower. I think to break the record you would have to use a lawn mower engine (like something that actually came in a mower to mow your lawn with). Just my 2 cents worth.
