Thanks! They’re for looks mainly, and they’re light. If it’s weighted right the front wheels aren’t on the ground enough to steer it. Thanks for watching!
You can use a hydro. It won’t work as well as a gear drive. I know a guy that won a championship with a hydro. It was in an 850lb 12hp class. So It can be done but a gear drive would work better. A hydro would be really cool for a small kid that can’t push the clutch pedal so they could run it all by themselves. If you can’t find a gear drive, you could still build the hydro, then swap the rear axle to a gear drive in the future and wouldn’t really be out anything. Thanks for watching!
yes you can, for lower power id recommend a hydro over a manual, turn up the system pressure and shim the linkage and you'll be able to pull just fine.
This might sound like a dumb question but is the driveshaft connected to the flywheel side or the actual output shaft because I seen a video about clutch hubs and it said something about the flywheel side?
www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=31880 Gasoline eats the “rubber” seal in the cap. You’ll pick the remains out of the tank after 6 months. Other than that they’ve been great! Doesn’t really need that seal anyways.
I believe it’s an 18hp cam. That’s what I was told it was anyways. Doesn’t look any different than a stock 12hp cam. We’re not really allowed to make any internal or external modifications to the engine for this class.
@@karnesmotorsports i build single cyl kohler k series engines for pulling purposes, and i can tell you thats definitely a reground cam, good luck with it, be very careful with using that flywheel, it worries me, ive seen them explode at 4800 rpm , you need a heavier one for a governered stock class for your advantage
Looking good ! Great to see it and to hear it run !
Thanks! The video didn’t convey the look of absolute shock on my face when it rolled over a few times and fired right up! Lol.
It coughed on the first crank ! knew it was close.
Awesome video keep them coming #MUDMOWERS4life from Talladega Alabama Roll tide Roll
Sounds good! Do the rib front tires help with steering?

Question. I found a Cub Cadet 127 (hydro) is it possible to build using it?

Fly wheel side. The drive hub bolts to the fly wheel, clutch driver bolts to that.
@@karnesmotorsports thankyou big time
What brand name is that fuel tank and where did you get it?
