Yeah we used the backplate as a template but we made a custom gearbox/engine mount and then tossed it. Which was a lot of work but helped in the end when it came to fixing the center to center issue cause the framework was already there to be modified. Only took about 2 hours. That mule sounds...

Oh and forgot about this little note. Ordered the correct comet belt only to discover that the CVT we bought off Amazon was NOT 7" between the drives. Infact it was a whole 3/8s shorter than the product specs said which means the smallest Comet 30 series belt was too big. So that was a night of...

So just wanted to give this a proper epilogue and ending. Finally quit being burned out and got to work on this thing last week. It has all of the art on it, I drove it for 40-ish minutes today and no signs of belts exploding so problem (so far) seems to be solved. Found out with one person...

So we've all been decomping and not even wanting to look at the artcar and I'll be honest, I didn't realize the thread had moved to the second page so I'm just now seeing these comments. Sorry about the delay! We have a 6" drive on the cvt. The rear tires are 18". Here in the next week we're...

Gotcha and will do! Welp, off to google and youtube!

https://beltpalace.com/comet216168a.html That's the one! Not sure which series it is though from the description. Also, I checked and it is a 60 tooth sprocket that we're moving to. Denny I checked and atm, the very first photo at the top of the page is the best shot I have of our CVT setup...

I'm heading up there tomorrow Denny, I will see what I can do about getting you a weight range but if I had to guess about 200 -250 lbs? 2 people can lift it off the ground with some difficulty, 3 could move it reasonably easy. Here's a better pic front and back. Comet belt has been ordered...

I think around the 7-800 is the most. The art itself is probably between 3-400 lbs (probably closer to 300 and I'm just being careful by over estimating, think I'll try to get it weighed out tomorrow), then add 2- 200lb folks, and then 2 coffee crafts which are 40lbs a piece filled so that's...

I'll give it a shot! That said one last thing I was thinking about last night was I definitely undersold the amount of weight on this thing. With 2 people, plus art, plus 80lbs from coffee we'll be transporting, it's probably closer to 7-800 lbs of extra weight. I'll go ahead and just order the...

Good call about the belts and good to know about prepping them! We were on last minute before finishing so we just got whatever Comet knockoffs Amazon could get to us in a day. Gonna make that the first purchase plus going through the break in process! As to all of the rest of the good info in...

Hi there folks! Newbie here and because the situation is so odd I'm not sure there's a concrete answer for it so all best guesses and advice welcome! I've been using this site liberally for help building this so I'm just starting here asking around. So we built a artcar for Burning Man this year...
