Quick update on progress. I have cut a old belt to size and will buy one tomorrow. I also started the motor up for the first time and it runs very good. Haven't had much time to work on it lately. Hopefully I can finish it before my son outgrows it.

I'd rock that thing even if I was waaay too big for it  |
Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine. |

LOL yeah I will be taking a extended road test once it's done. Did a little more last night.  Made the steering drag link out of some 3/8" rod. I'm going to use the mower steering joints for now until I can get some better ones.  Started on the exhaust. It is a pipe for a Snapper that I cut and welded. Total cost=$5. The pipe is going to run across the frame, down the right side, and exit in front of the RR tire with a chrome tip.  I have almost 2" of space between the pipe and plastic body. A simple heat shield should protect the plastic well enough. |

Got some more done last night.  Bought another Snapper exhaust and cut and welded to fit. This section will be mounted to the frame with a spring of some kind to keep it from cracking from engine vibration. Still need some more pipe and a muffler.   The 5/8 inch axle on the MTD spindle was too small for my 8 inch front rims. I cut off the axle and tacked on a 3/4 inch bolt to use as a axle.  Both spindles done. Comments welcome!! |

Good progress.
What trouble are you having with the uploader?

I was able to upload two of the new pics but when I went for the third a box popped up asking where to save a file. It was a 1 inch by 4 inch box and after it popped up everything I clicked on brought up that same box. It's like all the links on the page turned into files that I could save. I had to get back to work so I couldn't mess with it anymore. I'm using Vista and Google Chrome. I haven't had any problems before so I don't think it's my PC.

I figured out the uploader. Apparently it isn't fully compatible with Google Chrome. It works fine using IE.

That would do it. The uploader is a good 3-4 years old now, way before Chrome's time. |

Yeah takes awhile to get used to it. I usually have to upload one picture at a time.

I don't see why you guys have so much trouble with it. I'll usually zip a whole folder of like 30+ pictures and upload the zip file

I think my problem is, whenever I upload something I have to make it really small file size because it hangs up or something half ways through. I have this problem on youtube, google video and myspace. I've never uploaded anything bigger than say 5-6 Mb.

Strange, I've uploaded a 200MB file to the uploader before; and I just finished uploading several 1-2GB video files to YouTube.
On another note, we need to stop whoring NikoBellic's thread

Nah don't worry about it. I like the attention I had to break up my photos into 6mb zip files or the uploader wouldn't take them. I had close to 25 pics and it took 4 zips to get them on. |

Got a little more done last night. All that is left is to set up the brakes, make a support for the steering column, mount the front tires, and finish welding the frame. Hopefully I can ride this thing before christmas.  found some heim joints for the steering on a old go-kart frame  made some supports for the transaxle  clutch set-up  clutch applied  clutch released  made the tie rod from some 3/8" rod  my Chi Buddy |

Wow this place has really died down. I'm putting my project on hold until after the holidays. I wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
