Not problem. You could go a go kart route with a honda clone deal, and a torque converter or a different clutch

Yeah... I was thinking about a honda clone... Cause I have one of those on my minibike... Or a gx200, jack shaft , then a trans... But I want to go "gokart" straight axle method... So I'm thinking of something

And or I was thinking going stupid with it... And just do a custom steering system and a big vtwin Briggs!

So hi you guys!... I have taken out the Briggs and taken out the h shift... And turned around the rear axle and bearings... And tomorrow am putting in a 212cc predator engine

That is a RUGG "Carpet Cutt" machine without a doubt.  (EDIT, yeah now I'm doubting a little looking at other pics, but RUGG made most of the micro tractors in the late 60's).

I built one for my first tractor but sold it when times got tough.  Never saw it run...    

I think the year is a 1968 or 1969.  It originally had a 5hp B&S Flatty.  Great little machine.  It's already a mini, so IMHO it's begging to be made into a little speed machine.    

Keep us posted on this cool little machine!

Ok I will! But I'm pretty sure that's it's a 1969 huffy caprice

Yep, looks like a Huffy Caprice! Sorry about the mislead.

Here's the link I found TRACTOR DATA DOT COM

And a pic of the original.



The similarity between all these micro tractors is (I think) more than just a coincidence. They must have been made by the same company. Like MTD made everything for everyone for years...

Yeah... I know what ya mean!
