my trike kart engine is aliveeee!

actually the only home made thing is the engine mounts that need to be redone so be anti vibe mounts and the top roll cage part, the rest is what i'm pretty shure is a montgomery ward t555 trike, it is sooo awesome, i can't wait to get is goin
oh well atleast its running now. i wanna see vids when you get it setup. might wanna think bout a harness for that thing
yeah, prolly gonna do a 5 point raing harness, there will be peices coming up the side of the seat to hold u in there..... and keep the fat chicks out, and to answer future quadestions, i know that the seat is ghetto, its gonna get lotsa foam and a nice seat cover on it at one point
if u step on the back and pull lightly on the frame it comes rite up, it has a lil bit of weight to it in the front tho
it is a montgomery ward t555 frame, i found some stuff on it, this one has had the frame all f'd up and the axle is now a live axle, and it has wider forks than the stock ones, heres the old ad for it
3 WHeeLeR WoRLD Montgomery Ward T555
i am suprised by how rare these things are, plenty of pics and vids coming, soon will be time to pull the engine and seat and stuff and paint the frame, and fab some anti vibe motor mounts, just needs a lil more motor work
what size it the motor I have a old 440 snow mobile motor ready to go into my 88 easy go golf cart
its a kohler k29?, k309 or maybe a lil bigger, they all look the same so its hard to tell, and they'r hard to find stuff on
this is gonna sound like 1 huge negative comment but im not meaning it to be that way if if was you i would have put way more supports and guessets in that frame
1- that engine is gonna twist and be to heavy for the frame
2 its gonna need a stronger roll bar because if it flips i think it will crush that roll cage pretty easily
3- its gonna be REALLY tippy because the engine will make it top heavy and the really narrow axle isnt gonna help either, i just think your got way to big of an engine for it
but all in all, a great home built project and i envy you for the time and effort

its all trial and error, i plan on getting some wheel spacers for the back, if the frame cracks.. well its cracked, we'll just re weld and paint it, and i think the engine will do well, the motor mounts in the vid were just temoroary so we could get it funning and everything all set up, the roll cage is actually really strong, it should do fine
