That I can believe.

To be honest: This Wolf-Cart was a piece of Junk. Not sure, how much they sold. But since they belong to MTD, they ended production of the Cart. The Tec engine was bad and had Problems cause of overheating.

I've never actually done this but I would think it would work if you have a powerful enough motor, though I would question how safe it would be. Probably not the best solution for kids.

Hi Kelly, This machine will go about twice as fast as a normal lawn tractor. It was an 18 hp Kohler and I swaped in a 6 hp . Three spd trani. Clutch, brakes and gas pedal. Padded roll bar and seat belt. Reasonably safe, probably safer than most of the production models. Partly because of the reduced speed( 15mph) but also tip sensor and kill switch. And because it never got used unsupervised. That last one is the one that counts.:biggrin: Dusty

As a kid we took the motor off my mother's tired old Maytag wringer washer, powered by a Maytag 2-cycle "kick" start engine and built a go-kart around it. Never did do very good, but them I found the Maytag motor was only rated at 1/2 hp.

There are not many around that remember the original Maytag washing machine actual had a small gasoline engine powering it... It was later produced only with an electric motor...

Those gasoline engines were not much good for anything else... we also tried. :smile:KennyV
