THIS BUILD IS FINISHED: mtd trike..... The Drill Sargent ™

I am using a mtd frame, what I have all ready done to it is, gutted the hole thing and I had split the frame so that it slides back in the back part of the frame so that the motor ( an 8hp for now ) and in time that motor will be a 40 cude, the trans is one from a mtd with a variator so it only has for word and revers, I will be using a ragerlar lawn mower belt clutch. I will be welding a chopper bicycle to the front in turn turning it into a trike.I will be using a 8" pulley on the trans and a 3" on the motor. I will use the rageular brakes that are on the trans, um I will have update videos on my YouTube.com/trevorlc100 . then I am hoping to make this in school at our welding shop. I'm not going to put the variator back in I'm only gunna have for words and revers, I had the idea and its gust for having fun on. I might paint it military green and black and the name is Te Drill Sargent.

we're gone need pics

heres the frame that i will be using, but i still have to get the chopper



b" />ike.

Your sign almost put me into a seizure- and I'm not even epileptic! LOL

Welcome to the build-off. I very strongly urge you to consider better brakes than factory- first, for your own safety, second- you'll have to demonstrate your brakes work to qualify as a finisher for voting.

like i said up above, i will also be posting updates on this project on youtube and the finishing video on here for the final voting, and the video will not only be a demonstration i will also drive it and try to get a top speed run, but thank you for qualifying this build

This build should be interesting, and if finished, maybe a little bit dangerous.... good luck!

I'm not really looking for speed on this build, but just something to do and have fun on

Cool blend, Good Luck!

heres the mock up of the frame, i will be getting to work on it more real soon

Nifty idea. Good luck.

Here's the chopper frame finally!

Then here's a rough mock up of what the build should look like

Mock up looks good, the video won't work, says it's private only.

now try it, my channel is being real dumb and i cant see why

I had bolted the frame and the sub frame together and had mounted the running boards

i cant help but notice your gascan is a bit ferfriggsakesed... i hate those new cans. i drilled a hole in mine, fished a valve stem through it, so i just undo the cap and it freeflows

"running birds"? autocorrect? lol looking good.

i had finally got the frame and everything else at my school, and now i will be uploading pics when i will have his class next. and im hoping that he will let me do a video update.

Can any body tell me what kind of trans this it

I had looked it over and I could not find any markings no tags no nothing all I know is that its a 5 speed. Here's my vid of it.

800 series (like a 801 or along the lines)

Started cutting the chopper frame. Actually its all cut but I ha e to take a picture of it later. Then I had cut the mtd frame flush with a plasma cutter.

I had got new lights for this, I had wanted to get these along time ago.... And I think they will look cool on the front forks.
