3 wheeler engine

[3jonesboys]

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.

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.

Thanks for the advice. I have a 3 wheeler engine motor thought I might get to use it. Oh well. U guys gave good advice which was my gut feeling.I'm from Louisiana we rednecks can usually make anything work. However like was said if it isn't the proper size it wont work.
