- Welcome. Is your go kart tractor engine a vertical shaft 8hp or horizontal shaft? I have a couple of horizontal 8's I always wanted to use for a minibike, but they are a little bit bulky for that.
is this the Mr. Modified im subed to on YT? OvO
if so I watched your rally mower test run today xD
awesome tractor man
what I did is take the front half of a MTD frame and sit it inside of a craftsman frame and bolted it together (I don't have a welder)
that way I could bolt the MTD axle to the MTD frame
I mounted a 5 speed murray trans upside down where the engine cutout on the craftsman frame is so the shift rod and pulley are sticking out the bottom then I will mount the engine (vertical crank) where the muffler cutout is on the frame
I will have to block it up cause I want to use the deck pulley that way I will have a nearly 2:1 pulley ratio (trans is pulley swapped)
all I have done is the frame together (still needs work)
trans mounted and front axle mounted
ill just have to work on it till I get it if I do xD
sorry for the long response but I thought id give a run down of everything incase someone else sees it
