I know that no one likes mower carts

I was just curious I have a murray with no deck and a hydro stakic rear. I forget what size motor but its a twin and i dont wanna fix it cause I have an old trusty mower. since its got a hydro rear could I straight mount the output shaft to the input on the rear? I know both would have to be supported and that it wont be fast and " mower rear ends dont hold up" I was gonna run bevel gears to a jackshaft with a clutch but I thought this would work for something to goof around and pull my lawn trailer that i made post pics of that at some point. Just an old go cart frame with that set up on the back

The hydro rears overheat at high speed.

I know

once again i know that its far from the ideal setup just looking for input and maybe if anyone knows if you could hook the motor and transaxel up straight. hydros need no clutch right

Like I said, it will burn up in minutes above 10mph. You can hook it up without a clutch setup and just drive with the shifter. How do you think I mow the lawn? If I'm in a real good mood I might give it a little clutch to make the forward-reverse shift smoother.

Is that why you have those deep furrows in your lawn, kenny?

That's a mole problem. It just spins those old turf savers without much harm to the grass, which sucks *** when I'm trying to mow a really steep, shady(thin grass and lots of loose dirt) hill.
