is it possible to use a lawnmower engine as the engine for a winch??? Since it spins the blades on the bottom i think its set up differently than a normal engine. Has anyone ever used a lawnmower engine as their winch engine?? |

This is the VERY ESSENCE of wakeskating....right here!!!
This is what I love about wakeskating. Rhetto Resourcefulness! Go Cart engines, lawnmover engines, etc... that is why wakeskating is so rad.
I will be the first to admit that I've looked at both my lawnmover and my scooter the same way. I even stole a shopping cart from Kroger to use as a frame.

Bonis69, its 6.5hp. I think it would have to be built differently because the place you'd but the axel is on the bottom not the side. _________________ Some people make birdhouses, some people knit sweaters. I star in high-quality pornographic films. To each his own... |

we found another engine to use so we didnt have to deal with the problems of the vertical shaft. We found a 5.5 hp with horizontal shaft. Were gonna go with that instead. _________________ Some people make birdhouses, some people knit sweaters. I star in high-quality pornographic films. To each his own... |
