Re: vertical shaft conversion?
The old EZGO used an axle with the secondary clutch right on the pinion of the diff. I always wondered if you could tilt the axle up nearly vertical, then mount the engine in the normal spot. If you tilt the axle and engine forward some the engine should not have to be too high. But I don't know if that or some other axle would lube right doing that. It is ideal then you have direct drive. This does ignore the fact that IIRC that was a 2 stroke with no reverse gear in the axle.
Another way might be to just use the right angle gearbox to a jackshaft with the clutch on it. That way you have some latitude in where you mount the engine....only the jackshaft has to be the proper distance/offset to the rear, and stock rear would have reverse. |

Re: vertical shaft conversion?
I have never even seen a right angle gear box. my dad is a lawn mower engine tinker extrodonier, he has seen them and said he could make it work just doesnt want to mess my cart up. if yall saw some of the stuff he comes up with and builds out of junk you wouldnt believe it. i will try to get a pic of his latest creation. a old garden tractor some old steel plate hydrolic pump and created a small dozer, reverse back hoe contraption. its unreal. it never really looks good just works and then hes done with it, use it once or twice start something new. he once took two diffrent lawnmowers, good ones i may add cut them in half and put both together and they worked. why? because a buddy of his said it couldnt be done.

Re: vertical shaft conversion?
I. Was just working an old snapper rear engine rider. They use an interesting wheel to convert the rotation
