It would be sweet to own that. Grass mowing aside, I can see it moving lots of snow very quickly! ;)

looks like it's a pusher to get dry lake bed racers going.  notice the front bumper?  and all the race cars in the background?  might be midget's instead?  cool find tho!!

Can't figure out what to get him for Christmas?? Here's something I know he doesn't have!!!
This started out life as a 1977 Honda CB750.It is a project that I started years ago.And like any good project , I ran out of oomph.
Will consider trade for... snowmobiles , dirt or street bike , pontoon ,enclosed trailer , pck-up , or something else that you are trying desperatly to get ride of to make room for a very rare custom old school chopper.

I couldn't find it again, but I once saw a Youtube of a CB750 powered lawn tractor ripping up and down a long dirt driveway.  The best I could find today was a Yamaha.  And this IS a Honda SOHC4 forum, so I couldn't bring myself to  link it.

Here is the 40 second clip...

Here is the 4min clip..

I love that thing.. Its odd tho, he has the motor sitting sideways so not sure how he is getting power to the rear axle, also not much in the way of cooling.

redneck garden tractor method: chain to jackshaft, belts from jackshaft to tractor's stock drive pulley. still not much in the way of cooling - unless there's a radiator hiding in there somewhere.....




the dwarf car guys replace the sprocket with a flange that the driveshaft bolts to.

I knew there had to be a way, just was not sure how. Also I did not see any cooling going on there however it could be there is an electric fan in the front some place not visible. I hope there is one, cause that motor is taking a beating.. ;)

One of the guys I used to race with had a mower(?) with a 340 snowmobile engine in it.  Way overpowered the stock stearing.
