Few pics of my project

i have to ask, why did you go with a shaft drive for this creation?

i would have thought a chain drive rear wheel would have been easier?

i have to confess, it's homely............... but i like it.

nise looking rig, should be lots of fun.

Rock on

Haha, I know.
I havent had time for it lately.
I worked on it today, all I got done was fender struts, and I took my flat fender and rounded it a bit. Looks tons better.



and For the shaft drive...
The frame I grabbed was shafty to begin with, And I went that direction. I wish I would have converted to chain, might have worked out better

So, what exacly is that engine from? Is it from a lawnmower? Because I've got like four of those in the barn! And what about a tranny? I'm very interested in this build.

Im not sure exactly what this one came from exactly. I know they are on big generators. tillers, presure washers and stuff similar to that.

For my tranny I used a CVT clutch system. Like what snowmobiles, rhinos, some fourwheelers use.

Started putting in my new frame. Its coming along good so far.
Only got this one side tacked in so far.

I like it a lot!

Isn't it going to be hard to go anywhere with the fender under the tire?

[tbishop11]

I thought it was a water ski? It has a snowmobile style clutch perhaps a super snowmobile? Just kidding, I really think that it's going to be cool.

Thats coming along nicely,
i like the way youve used the shaft drive.

Are you going to cover those pulleys with a guard?

i had a mini bike when i was a kid, and it had
an exposed pulley, when i came off it the spinning
pulley landed on my foot, 20 stitches later it wasnt a very pretty.

Yea, There will be a cover on it. I dont like the idea of those things touching me either.

open drive shaft ftw.

Be sure to make a build thread when you do yours!

most deff gonna have an poen drive shaft! BUT if you do an open drive you have to do something to keep the unit from spinning!

I already have that planned out, Im going to have a plate bolt to the four holes then weld that to the frame. Then I was thinking of some kind of dust cover or something for the opening in the shaft.

My little brother finished the seat!
