- This is it! First shakedown run of the Diesel Weasel Rat Rod Mini Mow Kart! This thing actually works! Took it for a rip up the street, testing the throttle, steering and brakes. I'm very pleased with the results!
Hey folks- I see a lot of you good people are digging this test drive video, but many haven't noticed that The Weasel is complete! Check out the big reveal video- lots of action, and a FLAMETHROWER exhaust! See it here- • The Great Diesel Wease...

I'm 72years old I'm Glad to see someone carrying on that kind of wild stuff.KEEP IT UP.
Wow, the weasel turned out great!!! Awesome job. Can't wait to see the final paint job.
Love the red rims and painted tires. When I seen the exhaust I thought it might be neat to have a small little "flapper" on the top. Great job. Nice machine!
Awesome, love it. The red rims and white lettering on the the tires are perfect.
dont even paint it bro look sick as is

Sprocket's Garage hi, lov ur video
it even cooler if you put a turbocharger on the lawnmower hot rod
It WILL be turbocharged!
its a diesel it needs a turbo lol
Paint the wheels red like it is and leave the body as is it looks dope
I basically did! Check out the reveal video!
love that square body at 7:28. oh yeah, the kart too!
Having been a diesel mechanic in my younger years and a newly minted go-kart builder, I'm inspired to go with diesel with my next build. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome! There's video of it finished, too!
after hearing my diesel chugging on my low speed mud mower for years, it's odd to hear a diesel engine on something that goes so fast. don't kid yourself! that thing is awesome!
FearlessFront (Todd Christopher) is it giving you ideas for a diesel build again?? you could rat rod the side by side..
A torque converter is helpful
man i like it the way it is, and with the painted wheels and white letter tires. the mismatched colors on the panels is what makes it charming! if all you did was finish painting the rims and the white letters id say its a winner for sure!
Tony Fleetwood Pretty much. Check out the reveal video!
When I saw that motorcycle running up behind you through the smoke, I thought for a second it was the cops! LOL!
GREAT PROJECT!!! Looks like a lot of fun to drive!!
That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Lots of down low wheel spin. I have a video of a flamethrower I built on my channel that uses diesel. It's just the greatest fuel in the world.
That is one bad ass machine. Great work Doc
Good healthy 'crack' to the motor sound. Nice.
Sweet ride! You did her right. I love the front guard.
Now that is one awesome GO kart. Probably the best home made one I've seen on UA-cam. Great job.
Thanks! But it gets even better than this! Check out my channel for the reveal video!
That thing is hilarious! Really cool great job!!!
super cool! sounds as good as it looks!
That is absolutely awesome I wish I could toy around in my garage cuz I don't have one and just build silly things like we did when we were younger keep up the good work
needs a turbo
Nakia Hearlson yes yes it does
Nimbus Nimbus it’s a diesel
Nimbus Nimbus almost all diesels have one
It will sound stupid with a tubo
Nakia Hearlson yup
Awesome job Doc!! I'm excited to see if this thing wins the build-off!!
I doubt it, but that's ok. I'm having a ball building this thing, and the contest just keeps me motivated.
Well it's all about fun really. Either way, good luck!
I love the way it looks!
Very Nice! Should look really great with a paint job! I am sure it will! Great job!
totally awesome wish i could have one with a custom Springer front end and bright red paint with chrome rims all decked out! & of course more power
That thing is awesome.. i love it. It's much faster than i thought it would be.
1. this thing is wicked!
2. I have the dash board kill lever on my cub except it kills the fuel pump
3. i want one
damn good job!
That thing doesnt need paint! It looks awesome just like it is!
nicely done,seems to go pretty good too. i like the red wheels as well
Awesome Job there Doc...You've outdone yourself with this build! 10 Thumbs up!
Did you borrow 4 other people for that? :D
I'm a Human Octopus! ;)
You nailed it again, Doc!!!
*NICE OLD SCHOOL JOB!* _WELL DONE!_
Nice work! My single cylinder Onan DJA 3KW generator stops via a compression release electric solenoid. Works perfect, original factory design circa 1970. Stopping yours with compression release should be no problem.
Now that's cool! Nice work.
Flat black with the red wheels and some red pin stripes on the hood.
Looking great buddy!
Really cool, love diesels in any size
Love this project. Getting ready to start my own project but going to use a snow machine engine (Alaska). Will also us my project for a lesson in welding.
Man that is cool! makes me want to go build one! awesome job!!
That things awesome.
Rollin coal on something small like that just wicked, a small Diesel engine toy would absolutely complete my garage.
I'd try half the stuff I've done modding my automotive diesels on a small one👌🏻
The too low (chassis)comment, haha nothings too low when going custom....
It took me a while but i understand the low life a little better now.
Good work doc! Love the builds!
that thing chooches pretty good! thumbs up man!
That thing is awesome! I need a Diesel Weasel!
Very freaking cool!! well done sir.
I've never been so in love with a lawnmower before
Love the look. Cool project man
very nice well done!
nice one to the collection.
Looks like a comfy ride awesome job
You should find a little turbo that would work good with that motor and get some more power and cool sound outta it!!! Awesome work buddy!!!
Awesome build
one of the greatest thing on youtube that is so sweet great job
love how it sounds awesome build
Really nice video. Nice ride
Just seen this in the princes auto flyer today , great work getting into the flyer!
looks good mate i hope my build here in Australia goes just as good i am building an off road mower with my son and his mower.
have a great day

Feel free to post your build progress on the SG FB page! Link in video description.
Bad Ass! Thanks for the ride!
Have you seen the Reveal video yet? Check my channel, I think you'll like it.
Those little one-cylinder diesels sound like they're gonna' self-destruct at any minute!! I had a Robin/Subaru generator on my Semi with one in it.
rod builder Wait till I turbo this pig. meanwhile - you gotta watch the reveal video!
wow .. gorgeous cart man :) awesome build
jesse swan vid f
Nice job. Looks like you did your homework on all the engineering.
That thing is pretty cool Doc! It rolls coal like a beast! I wonder if you could get a lower engagement spring for the torque converter. It seems to engage a little high in the RPM range. Awesome build!
Thank you, I appreciate the props! I'm looking into tuning the CVT to engage at a lower RPM, just searching the interwebs for different springs and weights. Also looking into tuning the driven unit a bit, too.
Also- You NEED to see the reveal video. You'll dig the exhaust flamethrower for sure! ua-cam.com/video/yCspilJPN_k/v-deo.html
lowbuckfabrication why are you even here
love the red wheels. and the smoke!
Your neighbors must love you haha
Awesome build!
That's nothing! Watch the reveal video. Talk about lighting the streets up on a Saturday night! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
That thing is awesome!
4:45 Very true. One of my bikes is kick start only, and has a comp release lever.
Pulling that lever in while the engine is running, kills the engine right now.
Aesthetic vehicle. You deserve to be proud.
Neill Wylie Thank you- This wasn't finished, though! Check my channel for the Great Diesel Weasel Reveal Action video too see the finished beast!
I will do. Thanks for the heads up on the other video.
Looks good and like a lotta fun. What's not to love , right?
If you haven't seen the Reveal video, you're missing a ton of fun!
red wheels set off the white letters and teeth... well done Doc👍👍👍
Nicely done.
nice ride man!
I'm currently working on finishing up my diesel powered rat rod/street rod tractor right now.
I remember seeing this thing in hotrod magazine. Its pretty sweet!
One of the best moments of my life! Have you seen the "finished" video? I'm very happy with the flamethrower exhaust...lol
@@DocSprocket I'm watching it right now
This thing is awesome! Look into putting a small turbo on it in the future with a big ol smoke stack
Live those wheels. And the white lettering
That's sick! Very nice
Sounds awesome and I only truly hope that low & slow turns out half as good is this!
I got faith in ya.
Sprocket's Garage thank you sir that is an honor that you of all people have faith in me!
bubbles would love to have that. Get's 68 miles per gallon ''Trailer park boys''
Make sure you check out my channel
Holy crap this is the coolest thing you've built yet👍
Dave Ackerman- Thanks. And... yeah. I sure as heck hope so. You're supposed to get better at things, not worse. lol Actually, I really didn't know how this was going to go. I've done some basic go kart stuff, and some tractor mods. This was new territory for me- with a few familiar elements. I'm working hard to get the finishing touches done on this.
Looks like fun great job.
Check out the finished product! ua-cam.com/video/yCspilJPN_k/v-deo.html
nice chevy truck @ 7:45. I'd be proud of it.
That thing is awesome !!!!
So cool!😎😲 nice job!
Never seen your codeos before. Holy shit that thing is awesome!!! I need one!!!!!
That's just freakin' awesome!
How wide are the 2 exhaust bolts? I have an old predator exhaust straight pipe & I’m wondering if she would bolt up for if & when I do a diesel swap.
man that engine sounds awesome!
I like the white letter tires pretty cool.
this thing is so Fricken cool man
love the drag pipe sure u woke up the neighbors
I like the kill lever. Probably a lot better for the engine than cutting off the intake.
I like it a lot. I would love to build something like this. more so than one of those 1000cc engine karts
awesome job !!!
Dude! This thing looks great! Gives Carsandcameras a run for their money!
Still want to see that Honda GX360 twin in a project similar to this.
I absolutely love the weasel
so friggin dope dude
I love the banquet chair seat lol
great work on the mower and vigao. I admire your workmanships and attitude. better then haft the vigaos on UA-cam! keep it up!!! PS, subbed 👍
Devin Dunlap Thank you very much for your kind words and support!
I like it a lot , thumbs up .
DOC !!!!!! That is way too cool
