those mowers are good for race mowers cause their small and already pretty low to the ground... just a suggestion

spent a ll time on this today, getting some of the broke stuff off, the rear axle doesnt have a keyway, it has holes in it for you to bolt the rims to lol its weird, but the gear box is in really good shape, and all the metal is good, no deep rust, the hood is shot so ima have to fabricate one for it. the steering wheel is stuck on there really good, letting it soak in some pb blaster for a lil while and try and get it off. i think my 18 twi kohler will fit in it good tho so thats a plus

well, this isnt getting a twin, if all goes well tomorrow with the 18 kohler oppy, its going in the lifted one, and this will get the 16 hp single that is in the lifted,still need axle, sprockets, and some stuff broke loose(steering lol),the sprocket on the gearbox is a 6 tooth, if i run a 1-1 ratio from the engine to the ragb, what size should i run on the axle to get good speed?

planning on running 18" or 20" tires on the rear, and the front tires off a snapper rer, give it a mean stance, going to have a small wheelie bar, with a hitch because ima make a mini trailor to put behind it to hold a cooler for car shows
PAINT IT CAMO! And add ate tires along with a pulley swap
Like... I did with War Machine Mk1?....
idk, kinda, but wasn't MK1 a full size lt? this is a mini, so its light as all get out
Yeah, it was a full size. I was thinking the paint scheme though lol

You have a great little platform to start with, and if its that small, even a tiny little engine with the right gearbox behind it will get up and move...
