Beau-Kat Posted December 1, 2015 #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. Ha!
etcswjoe Posted December 1, 2015 #2 Posted December 1, 2015 Cool, let me know when you get it going sounds like fun.

Freebird Posted December 1, 2015 #6 Posted December 1, 2015 I see one of those "hold my beer and watch this" moments in the future.
KIC Posted December 1, 2015 #7 Posted December 1, 2015 don't forget brakes He don't need no stinkin' brakes. Brakes are for 2nd Genners...

ragtop69gs Posted December 3, 2015 #10 Posted December 3, 2015 There's lots of crashed V-Maxes out there you could snag an engine from! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
Beau-Kat Posted December 3, 2015 Author #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!
saddlebum Posted December 3, 2015 #12 Posted December 3, 2015 And yes, it has brakes! :rotfl: :rotfl:
Beau-Kat Posted December 4, 2015 Author #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.
