or if theres a website that shows you how to.
the tractor has a 5 speed transmission
another thing is that i want to remove transmission so it will go faster but the how will the motor move the car??
thats where i get stuck
Switch the front and back pulleys around and it will fly because this changes the gear ratio. Go to http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=47
This is where I saw this and you can ask the experts here what else to do. They are cutting off the end of the the website for some reason the end of it reads showthread.php?t=47
Pull off the deck & take the governor off the engine
What a cool project! Strip it down, boost the engine and buy a helmet. Awesome!
Certainly removing any unneccesary weight is a start, as well as re working the gearing. I’ll assume a lawn tractor, no matter how many shifts it offers it may not make Go Cart expected speeds as is,,,
The Q reminded me of long ago, and hills, and baby carriage wheels on 1 x 12 pine planks. Thanks. Great project idea.
