My go kart build updated

This is my go kart/racing build from a riding mower. I will be changing the pulleys to a 1: to 1.6 ratio and will be adding an 18hp motor after I rebuild it. The 12.5 are ready to go and I will use it to work out all the kinks. The seat looks crazy now but give it time.

    I have a quick question. Not sure if you’ll know or not, but I was wondering about the gear box’s on these riding mowers. I have an old murray riding mower that has a 3 speed + reverse gearbox thats all on the diff (it kinda IS the diff). I was wondering if it would be able to handle a higher rate of speed, or just blow to pieces? I ask because it looks like you plan on keeping the one on this mover on and using it.

    was does everyone think riding lawnmowers are great for go karts! the bearings in the transmission or rear differential are slip bearings and are not intended for this kind of use. they get worn down really quickly then start causing problems. Its best to what you can off the lawnmower, like the engine and wheels especially, even the frame if you wanted, but some parts won’t work unless you only plan on driving the thing at lawn mowing speed which wouldn’t be very fun!
