After watching the entire series of updates from Fearless front on youtube, with my son, it was inevitable that one would be gracing us with an appearance in the shed soon!! So here it is, an MTD Lawnflite, its a non runner but thats how we like`m .       So, plans are as follows 1. Get the thing running, possibly use it a to mo the lawn a couple of times this summer. 2. Once bored of the current performance, bring out the MIG welder and start learning how to weld on this, the perfect project. This will incorporate a new suspension front and rear(almost go kart like) with smaller wider Tyre's. As for welding, I will probably call on Damien4884(just down the road) for some pointers/tuition ;D 3. Eventually swapping the motor over for a 600cc or something, really gonna be hard to pull off but gotta start somewhere. So, watch this space folks, will take some time but will get there in the end. Here's what started it off |

Turn that bonnet scoop round....
When you say 600cc are we talking bike engine?i am assuming its a belt drive to the box.i am guessing the belt will just get burnt out.i guess you could use a go cart clutch and a m'bike chain......
Having had a 12 hp engine these have plenty of tug and low down torque

Yeah, would have to mod the drive train quite a bit for the 600, would have to use sprocket and chain drive from go kart as well as new axle and bearings! Just wanna get it running so I can play around with the thing. Is it true that there is a governing mechanism built into these motors, to limit over reving?

Both of the ones my dad has had aren't particularly fast but torque is amazing - hence the silly wheelies you can pull on it!
