Hot Wheels lawnmower build

[jdinvt]

Being the age of 55, living out in the country with nothing to do, these builds that EVERYONE, older folk, lol, are snagging these up to put a gas motor in, so I jumped in, did some research and came up with a plan........ IM GOING TO BUILD MUESLF ONE, so her are my beginnings........
Free power wheels jeep, racing lowered lawnmower, swapped pully, 23hp engine swap, govenor still hooked up but not for for long. Going to try this build and surprisingly enough, the wheelbase on BOTH look exactly the same, as far as width, that looks great too. Let me know your ideas and help as this will be my first build. Thanks, everyone.

Go for it!

Use the darker gray Powerwheels body and ditch the rest of the plastic underneath. Don't make it a quasi-mower, make it a kart! so that means a rear engine, chain driven/belt driven animal. Just an idea because I don't know what you have envisioned

Forgot pics, lol

You are a stellar man for taking them and then remembering to post!

This guy has tech knowledge and talent! Take note, Denny....

 

[jdinvt]

Yes, I'm ditching EVERYTHING from the jeep, only useing the body.

....only useing the body.

Are you going to ride it or is this for some children? There are grown men who ride these, most notably as a free roller and down a steep hill for sh*ts and giggles.

Oh, I plan on riding it for sure, no kids, all moved out. Now, time for this 55yro man to start having fun again, I miss **** like this so much. Had the same sxs for the past 10yrs now and won't give that thing up either, dealer is still wondering how the hell its still running with 7k miles in it, lol

She's apart and ready to go. I think I'm going to use the bottom and try to make a tube frame that bends with the plastic botrom.

 

[Denny]

Well, you broke it now. Nice job!

Did you mean blend? I would agree because the bottom acts like, or is the fenders of the thing. As long as it is no longer a load bearing chassis, it'll be fine.
