Alright this is going to sound weird but hear me out.
I bought an old Toro riding mower yesterday. My goal is to turn it into a Go-kart/utility vehicle. Its a rear engine setup which makes it extremely easy to do. My dad and I did this when I was in junior high with an old rear engine International. Basically take anything off of it that has to do with mowing. Put a v-belt clutch on the motor and a smaller pulley on the transmission, add a gas pedal and tada!!! Go-kart, with reverse!!!
Anyways I still have the clutch from the old international, it was a 1inch shaft. Well the Toro motor is 7/8inch shaft and so is every other motor I have available. Is it possible to sleeve the 7/8inch shaft motor to make it 1inch? I guess I would need a 1/16inch thick sleeve to do that?? Or would it be easier to find a 1inch shaft motor??? 7/8inch shaft v-belt clutches are quite expensive so if I can avoid having to buy one the better.
thanks guys.
