I love that you include your kids! Your passion for all things mechanical will certainly pass on to them!
Two things everybody wants on their go-kart, Electric Start and Reverse.
My god man ,yes!!
This things neat 😁
my weed eater powered go cart starts by rolling the whole cart foward, instead of a pull string (the string broke)
Put a smaller pulley on the rear end it will be much faster
Both of my gocary /dune buggy have that
Also need some suspension
I grew up like this lawn mower to go cart conversion. As yound kids we put a electric motor and drove it around plugged in. Had a rupp mini bike go karts tri sport dirt bikes mopeds. I have a supercharged mustang and turbo sti over 30 years later. It also gave me a whole carreer working on semis semi trailers and the ability to rebuild engines. It's nice to see you training the next generation.
I think it’s great that you take the time and money to spend doing projects like this with your son. It is something that you both will remember the rest of your life. I wish I had more of these times with my Dad. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your son they grow up to fast.
Reminds me of how I grow up with my dad making all kinds of crazy stuff for us. Love the background shots of the yard also. I grew up in a junk yard also. Keep your kid interested in what you do and it will keep him out of trouble. Love the video.
What a great Father and son project! Brings back memories of building one myself! Our 11 year old wanted a cart that would carry two, so we fabricobbled an channel steel perimeter frame. We used what was around! Ended up using a Vega rear axle, and an older VW front. Added hydraulic brakes for good measure. Covered the underside with sheet metal, and powered it with a 340cc Snowmobile engine and clutch, along with the gear case. Good thing we lived out in the country with lots of places to run. It was a whole lot of fun!
Much later in life, I used the hydrostatic transaxle from a derelict mower. This was fine, but those things are apparently designed to only turn so fast, even if the input speed is really increased. The solution there was to use a chain and sprocket arrangement, using an idler and chain drives to the new axle. A couple of pillow blocks from TSX and some 3/4" shaft brought it all together.
Sounds almost as sketchy as the shoppingcart gokart me and my dad made last year. We fabrifuckedup a homemade frame, put a shoppingcart on top of that and put a 2-stroke engine that was so small it literally did 2 mph. Then we swapped on a 240cc Honda GX motor this winter. It was really fun drifting it in the snow because we accidentally added a shit ton of angle to it. I have a yt video of it if you want to check it out. I'm plannignon getting a lawntractor like in the video, slamming it and adding angle to it so me and my friends can drive around together!
Hell yeah thats gonna be fun! Those memories will last forever! My first go-kart was made with dumpster parts and limited funds an I loved it!
I just scored a freebie lawn tractor, & was about to buy a go cart. Instead, I might just try your build ideas. 😃🤙😎
Thanks for showing how to re-arrange stock mower components into a fun kart project!
Just getting into small engine builds. I haven't welded really, since high school. I'll be 50 this year. I'm super happy to be able to enjoy quality time with my granddaughter and her brother or sister whom will be joining us soon.
You have some of the best detailed videos I've found so far.
THANKS FOR SHARING!
PLEASE KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING. 👍
Does it still work ?
I really enjoyed your content. Also, I love that you’re training the next generation of men. We need more hands on kids that can tackle fabrication. Well done sir.
I like this idea, very ingenious and creative. The ability to use on-hand parts is great. Good to see the father and son working together.
Nicely done Gentlemen ! You two are pioneers finding gold all the time . Thank you for Sharing your wealth with us . It is very much appreciated .
Really like this design man. I've had an old craftsman riding mower been wanting to make a rat rod cart for awhile. Struggling with ideas on how to do it but something like this is sweet. Didn't know if it was possible to turn the trans upwards like that. Super cool
What a cool idea! I have an old Cub without a deck that would be a good doner for a project like this. Great experience for John, He won't forget memories like this. Way to go dad, you hit this one out of the park.
Takes me back to living on the farm, always had an old rider to mess with. Nice to see this is something that still exists.
I think John is very happy with this project. May need some wheelie bars once he's in high gear. Great job!
Agreed I was debating a rear skid basket like they do on sand rails.
You are a good man to know. I have many questions. I am new to this. I have a Craftsman 19 hp. Twin cyl. Stuck rear. And a Husqvarna missing engine parts. I installed the Craftsman engine on the Husqvarna. Yeah I should have just swapped rear axle x. But hey. I also swapped the wiring. The sear safety wies don't reach. But I'll continue the two.
Plus a roll bar couldn't hurt huh.juss sayn
Great to see father & son working on a project together 👍🏻
been building one from a old lawnflite 604 mower that you for the excellent ideas this will save me some work cheers Neil and John for a excellent video
It's great that you have John so involved and I like your salvage attitude.
This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for on my upcoming project!
I have my own Lawn Mower Shop, this is a great idea for all of the scrap mowers I have. Inexpensive. Awesome work.
There's nothing in this world like doing fun projects with your son. And as a bonus you learn things . Great video!
Very nice! I like that you get John so involved and he seems to really enjoy doing some of the work. And of course we all like to drive the machines we make. Good luck and keep making these videos.
I think this project's pretty awesome I hope the kid likes it and I hope he has a lot of fun with it
I modified an old black and decker wildcat 9"grinder to direct drive the spicer hydrostatic drive on a lawn tractor with no engine with a 2kw petrol generator where the engine used to be, 1st gear pulls 6' wheelies, 5th gear take off will flip it upside down, it will burn rubber in reverse, BUT the only control you have is an On Off switch to stop the grinder. Scary but so much fun!
I like it. Best yet. You are doing a great job including your son . He is learning and enjoying while working with his dad. It will mean more to him, than a go kart built for him.
Diggin' it !! I'm looking at a local Troy-Bilt and you've inspired me to make it a cart !
Love your "on the fly" design methods. Very entertaining!
I really enjoy your vids.im retired and I use your vids to help me with my projects.thank you.
I like the way you involve your son in your shop...he's a good kid learning work and engineering early.
I would have NEVER thought of a build like this, ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!
just picked up 3 mowers with bad motors decided to try putting a harbor freight motor on one and make a go kart so thank you for making this video cant wait to start mine
Lucky boy. Nothing beats having a vehicle to buzz around in as a kid. Good job by his dad.
Low budget, clever design and your kid is really involved. What a great project!
Really glad your letting him learn his own way he will never forget that really proud he is so interested in building his own cart to ride on
Thanks for the links for the clutch I was not aware that they made a belt style go cart clutch
Kinda looks like how they build the old school beetle buggy’s. That’s bad ass fellas. This is how memories are made man. Good job.
It seems more fun off road than the drag strip ! Great job 👏
Just watched this on FB now I gotta watch it on here. Great video
You too? Lol
Interesting video, I enjoy working on mowers, and tractors. I have an older Murry 12.5 horsepower Briggs, it was wore out, I put on a Kohler Pro 25 horsepower V twin. I didn't change the pulleys so it's still slow, but it cuts tall grass and weeds without any problems.
Great info and good to see a father and son working together
Love it! Going to try this with a carcass I got last year!
This is awesome. I have a wrecked JD mower that will have a new purpose now!! Cheers, mate!
Man you got some awesome builds I in joy watching them and help give ideas for a Feature project I been saving parts for
Like the flat bed truck in the background. And the mower at the 👍🏼 awesome
love to see all your ideas on things to build. i built a murray wide body that i have now stripped. i am useing the transaxle as a transfercase to build a 4x4 golf cart.
I'd love to see a 4x4 version, using 2 of those MTD rear ends, and make a spindle set up or cv axle etc. Wish I had more room or I'd be doing more like this type builds. Keep it up and God bless u and fam
Agreed a build like that has been a goal of mine for years now.
That’s amazing time with your son. Well done sir.
Wow you take those dam things down to nothing. And build up from there I’m totally loving your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wondering if those controllers in parallel would handle the current, of course overrating enough... whatever that'd be. Great build, very inspirational. Neat!
Way to go father and son working on something together he will always remember that God bless you too.
I like how you simplify how you explain everything
Love the build. Thanks for the information
Can’t wait to see it finished looks hella nice guys good job
Great video. When I first saw the intro I thought it was a Rupp GO JO. Nice build!
Wow what a sweet ride when you touch that gas it wants to go can't wait to see you beef it up even more good riding John
Fun. Great build... Try changing the pulley size, it can get more speed.
Love gave me a lot of new ideas for a homemade four-wheeler for my daughter
Nice simple build!!! Great!!
Thanks for the video.
john kicked ass at the end john u rock
That is a cool little build. Keep up the fun stuff.
I like the fact that your son is helping you
Good to see you include your son ,great hobby to learn
nice build, my son is 4 now and i have scrapped out a bunch of mowers and kept the good parts. i also have some brand new engines, so i just subscribed !!
I've got 2 of those and a few other types.
Thanks for the ideas.
Really Cool!! What a great start.. Looks like fun!
Good to see the kids involved
So cool John.Dad makes great fun things.All the best to you all
Great job. I got a lot of information for my grandson’s go kart. Thanks
Great video. Very knowledgeable about front end and trans. Nice. Thank you
So cool how you work with your son. I'm doing the same.
Love your channel guys.!
Cool way to reconfigure the whole setup
Great teaching son to be creative and resourceful!
Thanks for posting!
Think we as dads should make wheelbarrow go karts and have the kids race. Then at night have the adult wheelbarrow go kart race. Would be fun and junk to kart is the best way. So there could be crazy builds to old school.
Looks like you are still having fun!!!
The ol FNR trans that everyone avoids when building a mower is now the star of the show!
Very cool,and plentiful because nobody wants them (until now) 😁
Yup That was what I figured. Got offered another 2 machine this week with them for free.
Kinda looks like an old Honda Odyssey, it's a super cool build. The low end torque seems to be handy on the trail.
Howdy!! gonna do this very thing! Thanks for the tips!
Really interesting use for an old lawn mower
Really like the Ramp/Table. More info would be great. Thanks.
your son is so lucky to have you as a father!
Love the build guys!
I love the concept. I want to build some for the neighborhood kids with their help of course.
Thank you for sharing your build.
Very cool build. First thing id do is open the block and pull all the governor bits out. Then add header and carb.
This video has given me a lot of interesting ideas with an old mower I have.
Thanks for the video. This looks like a cool build.
You are the man. Great build.
Direct steering means mad bump steer. Especially if you get the speed picked up. Watch your thumbs when the steering wheel takes off. I put bmx handle bars on my sons. ( 4" cut off both sides)
This gave him more control and I was able to use a hand break setup. Short cable down to a offset pivot and longer rod to the rear. Useing the mechanical advantage to apply the breaks. I also used a Smaller pulley on the transaxle to speed it up some. Now have switched to sprocket and chain drive. Belt drive doesn't like boys and mud bogs. Lol
This video has inspired me to start a project. Thank you.
Stay around we got several upgrades planned.
That’s a beautiful machine! Nice!
I have Taking this build on and this video has bin very helpful great job guys keep up the good work
Glad we could help :)
Nice job ! And nice driving young man!
Iv been searching this topic for years, “riding lawnmower to gocart “. ! You da man 😎👍 I shall be a lot closer to visualizing my goal in 32 min. New subscriber here 🤗. Can’t wait to see what else you creat.
We have about 4 key upgrades planned for the next 2 or 3 months. Glad your here to see it :)
Nicely done!
Using a deck spindle for a punch is brilliant. Wish I had thought of that!
I'm going to make one I got all the parts laying around but I'm thinking I'm going with a chain drive. Love the video
Awesome build!
