riding mower to hot rod go kart build....

[mercedes_6.9]

My latest project is to take a Craftsman riding mower I've had for about a month and customize it to go faster and look waaay cooler. For those of you who have read any of my posts, you know that everything I make ends up part rat rod. This one will be no exception, but this time I'm going to order some decent stuff for it like a go kart steering wheel, maybe some shocks, some off road lights, and of course a hot motor to top it all off. I am dying to find a Briggs flathead twin {16-18 hp} for my tractor. It had a 12 hp Tecumseh for stock. The motor is off as is the deck and all other unnecesary stuff. Pictures when I get a new engine on it, and that shouldn't be very far away.

If you want a REAL hotrod, dont waste your time with a briggs twin...get a sled engine. Ive been wanting to do that for a while now. IMO That would be about the most badass tractor/go kart you can get. Big expansion chambers stickin out each side...ahh i can only dream
