    3 wheeler engine

    New to 6 wheeler world. I want to know if I can install a 3 wheeler engine (200cc) in hustler 900. Will it be big enough to do the job?

    Welcome to the forum. I would not use a 200cc 3-wheeler engine personally. It probably could be done, and would move it around, but I don't think it would perform all that well. Also, I am unsure if all the fabrication would be worth it if it didn't just bolt in. The 900's were 2-strokers. They basically used a sled engine. You could find a cheap doner sled and keep it a go fast machine. The other good option is a horizontal shaft lawnmower engine. They pretty much bolt in, but you will need a new drive clutch and spring for your driven.
    l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

    Drew is absolutely right. A 3 wheeler or motorcycle engine is not a good idea to use in a 6 wheeler........take his advice and find the original engine for it, a Kohler 440cc twin 2 stroke or get a Briggs Vanguard 4 stroke. It'll be much easier to just bolt it in and go.
