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

A quick YouTube video

Lookin good man! REALY cool and different idea.

I had mounted the school seat desk, and I had used simplicity seat mounts and they had just bolted right on

Super cool build. Thinkin outside the box and also something to show off at school i see.

Ya pretty much, especially when they don't think I can do it.. And I had fount out that another kid In the class is making a spider kind of trike and so now were having a build off in the class and I am hoping that our teacher will let us race

I had got my 801 peerless with mtd axels mocked up and will have to make different mounts.

Next I had welded the bike frame to industrial grade angle iron so that it could be bulted to the mtd frame
.
Now it is kinda sitting on its own weight lol. O and I had changed the kind of motor I will be using. I am using a 1973 7hp flat head Briggs.



And I'll have a video update soon.

It's coming along, and is this a on road of off road trike?

Cool, same simplicity seat mounts I'm using for my project.

Iv thought about it being an off roader i might have to think of that agian

Starting to turn out pretty nice, I thought of building something like this for my kids just on a much smaller scale. I cant wait to see how it turns out when done.

Its getting there, looks really good, get it street legal

i am thinking about changing the name again. but i cant think of any. but the name has to fall in the lines of a military name and trike or somthing. plz help

Had completely mounted the trans




And here is the bid of what I did and what more I still have to do

i used autocad 360 to do this. its a simple sketch of the trike and how i intend to make the clutch and the rest of the drive-train

All good, but if that's viewed from below and up, you want to move the clutch to the other side of the belt. To the non-torque side.

Well I didn't think of that. Thanks looks like I'm going to flip it

Starting to come together.

well a trip to farm and fleet and $140 later, and you can buy all the stuff that you will need for a jack shaft from a pulley drive to a chain   i will be posting and update soon!  its kind important lol. anyway i will do a separate video of all the parts i brought in to school and what i had blown $140 on. o and thanks to everybody who really likes this build and or fallowing it on my channel it means a lot guys. thanks

if that is a pic from the top, then the clutch is correct.

sorry guys lol its from the bottom i should of labeled it i think thunder is right

As long as the clutch isn't on the tight side of the belt when engaged, then it'll be good.

another update  and thanks guys for the support.

I had finished the jackshaft! And it is all straight and plumb. Now I just have to make the shift linkage and clutch.
