Kevin,
Sounds like fun, you should do a search for "3 cylinder " or "home made " on this forum and see what pops up. There are a couple projects like that on here.
yer should be i started on the frame today i will upload some pics soon
Here are some pics of todays work
Good start...I'm excited to see what you end up with !
Please keep us posted with the progress :-)

You're not wasting any time on this project! So far so good.
"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"
It's a great start. I think I'd make it a straight track machine and build in some floats in the center of the tracks to help with stability. Good luck on the build.
That engine looks heavy!
Weight distribution will be important when you float it.
I would mount it ahead of the rear axle for sure.
Are you using the transmission/transaxle that's on the engine now? If so, looks like you could shift it towards the middle and power the center axle and chain to the outter axles thus evening out the weight distribution.

hi guys were the motor is sitting is going to be the front and i will be sitting back from the middle the reason i want the motor at the front is for climbing hills but i guess if it was in the middle it would be even as far as desending hills and floating.
The motor is a front wheel drive daihatsu charade.
