Beau-Kat Posted December 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 1, 2015 So, I did some engine work on a friend's Yamaha and wasn't going to charge him. But he insisted on something. So, he brought me a Tractor Supply Adult Pedal Car that he no longer used. Cool little thing in great condition. But, I live near the mountains and my 4 acre yard has lots of long hills. So, too much work to pedal this thing. So... I remembered I have this old driveway edger with a 3.5hp horizontal shaft Briggs engine and I have this welding machine, old sprockets and chains, etc.,..... Gonna get interesting around here soon.

Beau-Kat Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted December 3, 2015 LOL!! Lots of good responses/suggestions/concerns/warnings/comedy. Don't stop now. Keep 'em coming. Most likely will take some time to cobble (excuse me, I meant to say, "to meticulously engineer") it all together. I think the Briggs will be enough. After letting it rip a bit (and posing some photos/videos for inquiring minds), I'm planning to govern it way down for my boys to ride. It will probably take them a year more of growing before they can really operate it. And yes, it has brakes! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau-Kat Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted December 4, 2015 :rotfl: :rotfl: Uh, that would be from my old commercial fishing days in the '70s. Never failed me though. Might have to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
