My Workhorse
Here's some pics of my Workhorse, it's paid for now so I can post pics of it. It has a Briggs 18 horse, K&N filter, 27X12 Holeshot tires, after market wheels, electric dump bed. I pull a 6X12 trailer for yard work. I bought this from Richie another BGW member that lives close by, he did most of the work to it, I just changed wheels/tires, seat covers, and some wiring.

Re: My Workhorse
I made a pair of heavy angle iron Rocker panels that I'm going to mount a cage/roof mount on, also using the front fender windshield mounts I will come around the front with a bumper and brush guard. I have alot of plans for this and this cart will not get sold cause this is the type of cart I've been working toward getting from the beginning. I am dissapointed in the performance of the Briggs 18 V Twin, I thought it would have more getup and go, it has the power to pull the trailer but it will not even attempt to spin a tire not even the 23's it had on it. I'm not a Briggs performance guy but I am studying up on them. It has a quiet muffler but the intake noise is unbelieveable, I can't figure that out?????

Re: My Workhorse
I have 4 more Briggs V twins, 3-16's and a 14, I read the only difference between the 16 and 18 is the carb??? so with that I'm going to build one of the 16 horse engines not as a race engine but as a higher output and see what happens.

Re: My Workhorse
Thank you Flintrock, so I guess I need to build the 18 for performance and just use the others for mild conversions?
