| Hey all. I’m a complete newbie to go-karts. My son wanted to build one. I had an old 2.5 hp engine, but then he said what about the engine in grandpa’s old lawn tractor? So I said that sounded good. Did some searching about turning a lawn tractor into a go-kart and ended up here. I will need a lot of help. I am somewhat mechanical but I do not know how to weld, will have to learn. I also know nothing about gear ratios, steering mechanisms etc. Like I said I’m new to this and hope I found the right place to be. Thanks in advance for any advice. | |

| Thanks all. For you Jurzeeites, I'm in the Piney region of South Jersey where there is nothing but swamps and oceans and maybe even Jimmy Hoffa! It does look like I have found the place I need to be. I'll get the details on the mower I will be re-purposing and post in the appropriate forum. This will be a blast. | |
