Briggs Flathead / BRIGS 2 CYL 19 HP HELP
« on: February 03, 2011, 07:33:48 pm »
Ok guys, be nice, but is there a way to remove the dubl pully on the bottom of the motor, I assume remove the center bolt and with a little work it will slide off. Am I right?

I am wanting to replave motor pulley and trans pully.

I will post some photos in awile at work now.

A long shot here, Does any one have a briggs 5 horse flat head motor, side shaft. no need for a preformance motor, a stock on will do. thanks for the help guys.

the rebuild is slow, The honda motor will not work at all, I removed the steering box from under the hood and will have it in the cab, and still the Honda will not fit  :mad: :mad: :mad: its bad because it runs to DANG well to resell, but want a Flathead brigs to bolt right in, once a motor is found it will be a quick rebuild. I dont plan on redoing the paint or any out side appearance but make it road worthy. will post some more photos soon

thanks Doug, greyhound may ship a motor with all the fluids drained, but 10hp may be too big too, I am going to revisit the idea of changing the steering to fit the Honda but am reluctance to do so.

Grandpa's Mini Model A

Story goes,
After Grandpa was done building Sherman tanks for the War, his kids wanted a model A for a hot rod, he could not afford much! As his kids (my mom, aunt and uncle) were 8,9, 11, One day he got the idea to build a mini A. That's the short story.

This was to be passed down to my uncle and then to me. In its day this was fast, my grandpa built the entire A, using many of his home made parts and ingenuity. He came up with a fun go cart for his kids.

It is now in my hands, needs to be fully restored, I plan to redo the hole car and update as necessary.

the motor is a Clifford 3 horse, this is the 2nd motor, and its junk! I plan on using a 5+ horse motor, .

it does have a full windshield and chrome nerf bar bumpers, not in the photos.
This is how my uncle gave it to me.

posting photos soon, need to resize them

I am new to building mowers and carts, I was wondering how you transfer the power to the rear wheels, I am wanting to build a similar cart/tractor with a 19hp bottom shaft but have clue on how to. photos and parts used would help. thanks James
