Making a Go Kart From a Riding Lawn Mower

A riding lawnmower may be a piece of equipment that was not being used. The deck eventually rotted and the mower stopped functioning. Towing wagons are what the riding lawn mower can do, but it's not very good at it. The engine, tires, and other necessary accessories for a great Pedal Karts are the only things that can be trusted on the riding lawnmower.

The riding lawnmower is difficult to operate. It requires some knowledge, the clutch pushes here, and adjustments there. The riding lawn mower cannot be used as a makeshift go-kart. There were other plans for this rusting hulk. It is not clear how to turn the riding lawnmower into an awesome go-kart.

Disassembly of The Riding Mower

It is important to disassemble the riding mower to determine which parts will work best.

You will find that rear wheels require modification. The hubs of the wheels are usually built into rear wheels and require a keyed shaft for them to turn. It is possible to adapt the wheels to fit on a standard go-kart axle by welding a 1" coupler to the wheel hub. This prevents the wheel's sliding off the axle shaft by securing the coupler with a cross bolt.
