We did that once... build a good sturdy roll cage... trust me it hurts when that cage folds.

When it comes to power, some is good, more is better, too much is just right!

I did that conversion when I was about 17 with a Rupp twin cylinder (440cc) using the clutch and torque converter with a solid live shaft since we had plenty of flat dirt farm fields in Michigan.

It was flat out nasty....

Hardest part was the axle and hub assembly and keeping it all together....Also had to put screws into the bead of the rear tires since it would spin on the rim when it had solid footing.

Of course that was before cell phones and digital pics....

The only thing you need to watch is if they don't have a fan they tend to run hot in the summer. Here is a picture of a Rupp 440 Nitro that I mounted on a tractor. It would go 60 MPH and hang wheelies in 3rd gear. I think you would have a good time with that go kart.

Ill see if I can dig up some pics of my old golf cart that me and my buddy came up with one drunken night. Was quite fun with that kz900 engine on it. Never did max it out but we did get clocked at just over 60 in third gear. Was flat out nuts

Is that an old Dynamark? I had a tractor that looks similar to those fenders before I was into Cub Cadets.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
