Wow! That is quite a bike! Looks like it may have started life as a classic Taco mini. You may want to research that before hacking it more!

Welcome to the addiction! Have fun!

looking at your bike, the first big bump you hit will bend the frame and destroy the bike! The engine hooked to the jackshaft with a tight chain may be an issue!
