I've been working on this for my 6 year old Granddaughter. Started on it right before Christmas, and am finally about done. I'm waiting on a new pan gasket for the motor. It is a 4hp Tecumseh push mower engine. Then I can put it on and get it finished. It is geared to only go as fast as a stock riding mower. The clutch pedal must be depressed to engage the belt. When the pedal is released the return springs put the brake on. I have a kart seat for on it, that will be mounted on top of the motor. I'm thinking about putting a small wing on top of the handle.

HEY GOAT, I CANT SEEM TO PICTURE WHERE THE ENGINE GOES. WHERE IS THE LOCATION FOR THE ENGINE?

If you want to see something funny, you ought to see me running it! :woo: I had to try it out, before I tore it down to paint it. It pulled me around pretty good, believe it or not!
Grubby, the motor goes in the stock location, but I turned it around, so all the hot stuff is under and behind the seat. I wouldn't want her to burn herself!
-
SO YOU SIT ON TOP OF THE ENGINE? :confused:
