Project I have been working on in my spare time.

admin

Here is something I have been playing around with in my spare time which seems to be getting smaller and smaller. It started out as a two seater bar stool, but I changed the design a little so my kids can ride along here it is.We call it the beer wagon.Will   Supports Autism Awareness                            My ToysBobCat 225 PLusMillermatic 130Miller Spectrum 300 CutmateEverlast Power Tig 185 Micro April is Autism Month .

Reply:it looks pretty cool... do you have any close-ups of the steering linkage? i've always wondered how they were able to be maneuvered. i'm sure it's simple, but i just can't visualize it.later,Andy

Reply:That looks great!are you using a 6.5? clutch or TAV?. Just make sure bed is high enough so you can pass the chain underneath it. never seen one like those before sure it will be a nice project.My Babies: HF Drill pressHF Pipe Bender3   4.5" Black and Decker angle grindersLincoln Electric PROMIG 175that´s it!
Reply:I was thinking of going with a 6.5 electric start motor with a tav clutch setup. And use an idler pulley if I had clearence issues with the bed.Will   Supports Autism Awareness                            My ToysBobCat 225 PLusMillermatic 130Miller Spectrum 300 CutmateEverlast Power Tig 185 Micro April is Autism Month .

Reply:Originally Posted by ski_dwn_itIt might just be me, but when you try to stop, or stop suddenly and you are sitting up that high - you are definately going to be going for a RIDE.  Cool ride to have setting there, but you would not get me on it and I like crazy rides.
Reply:Now you need to figure out on how to mount an old Beetle drivetrain on it like we did to a EZ-GO golf cart!
