I have plans to build a mini jeep or hot rod kart. I have seen a few but most are made with sheetmetal and/or wood. I was thinkin of tryin to make one outta fiberglass in an attempt to keep the wheight down. Plus ive never done fiberglass work before so id like to try it. I have a lil autobody...

Sorry bout that.

Toystory said "I keep looking over at the UTLTV and thinking, Comet 40, Peerless 700, live axle... *drool*". Go for it man! Thats an awsome idea!

I saw an idea on youtube by fearlessfront to that effect (the extention). He thought of conecting a universal joint to the output going strait out to a bearing with a sprocketon the other side of the bearing. The bearing would have its own mount on the frame. This would releave the pulling...

Toystory said... ", I'm awfully tempted to try a combination of a CVT with a manual gearbox." Thats a kick a$$ idea! I know im gettin off subject a lil but anybody ever tryd using a chain drive on a vertical shaft? I saw a racin mower build that used a jackshaft to make lowering the rear using...

is it worth it? Im a crappy judge of speed but i would guess its the same as the diffrence between first and top gear on any other type tractor. I would say it would be worth it if speed is top prioraty. Like gearing it to to start off at the most the motor can handle and using the speed pully...

In lawn tractor racing the Peerless 700 seems to be the most popular trans. Its and independant gear box that transfures the vetical belt drive to a horazontal chain drive creating the need for a kart axle. This is popular for a reason, it works really well. BUT, like most tractor trans setups...

Like i said, there are flaws in this idea. Lol thats why i never attempted it. I decided against two axles when useing a smaller pully would work better with less work and whieght. Plus i prefure to have an open diff for better steering function, transaxle life, tire life, and not leaving tracks...

I thought about doing something to that effect. The idea was to run a chain from one axle to a live axle, then weld the other axle on the transaxle to its housing. Stoping one side from spinning makes the other spin faster. There are some flaws with this idea like longjevity if the spinning axle...

WOW! Homerun dude! I was toyin with the idea of deere colors for the kids kart when i saw the john deere colors in rattle cans at my heaven on earth, tractor supply. i have since decided it will eather be deere yellow and black, or blaze orange and black, since i want it to be bright and visable...

Try the variable speed pully set up found in many mtd tractors. All three of my tractors have this setup. The transaxle is just forward, reverse, and neutral. They use a fancy double pully that adjust between two belts. So as the pully moves forward the rear belt is pulled to the center of the...

Peerless 820, 30" wide. 1" keyd axle, 5/8" stepped input, $140. Smallenginesurplus.com

So- to recap. "No more tractors!!!" followed by, "I want to keep it". She's a good wife... Nothing beats a good tractor except an understanding wife! My wife likes runnin my tractor too. Her only complaint; its too slow. :drool5:

And its smiles like these that make all the seemingly endless hours of fixxin stuff worth it.

I got this for $10 bucks and gave it to my landlord when he said he wanted to build on for his kids. Now he has 5 karts, 3 atvs, 2 scooters, and an impresive motor collection. Thinkin of gettin it back off him. Lol

These are the landlords to. He said somethin bout usin the 50cc scooter for a kart sometime. The offroad scooter is for his 7 y/o. Anybody know who made it or anything?

I paid $150 for this atv brand new in the crate! The engine didnt pass an emitions test so it was sold with no motor on ebay for $150, $200 shipping. Luckly i live 75 miles from the company so we drove up to get it for $50. Wile there i bought a 90cc engine for $175 still in a box and got extra...

My landlords yerf dog project. Hes putting a 10hp generator motor on it and atv front hubs so he can put front brakes on it. Here in West Virginia there are steep hills and steeper hills so front brakes are a must if you wanna go anywere but the road and pasture.
