Anybody do any chassis tuning on the John Deere L-series lawn tractors? Mine has this wicked understeer, especially if I'm in an off-camber corner and it's a little wet.



I'd also like to see about adding NOS or a blower or turbo. Mine's only 17 HP, and I'd like to race my neighbor and his is like 20 HP.

Can you increase the compression by shaving metal off the heads?



Not experience in lawn tractor racing. You think is you weight distribution making you understeer?

Are you saying I've got a big ***?

your corner entry is too fast, try entering slower and powering out

our Case tractor with the rototiller on the back had slicks on the front, doesn't work too well on grass OR loose dirt.





stiffer rear sway bar might help you.

It does not have a rotary in it. That's your problem.
