I bought this go kart from the scrap yard for $20 bucks. I am going to use the motor jack shaft and torque converter on the MTD bike.

The original motor plate would not suit my needs so I removed it.

I need to move the motor over to the left so that the rear pulley clears the frame also to line up the sprockets so I am going to use two pieces of flat bar to mount the motor plate to.

I tacked the motor plates in and swapped the sprocket on the jack shaft from the left side to the right side of the bike.

I cut the flange off of the stock muffler and welded it to this old pipe I scored a couple of days ago.

I will shorten it later so that the silencer ends up under the seat.

I cut the foot pegs off of a bike I got out of a scrap pile and welded them to a piece of old bed frame angle iron.
