The hood is actually the hood of the garden tractor i got the tires off of...LOL i sectioned out about a foot down the middle and welded it back up, not an easy task when all you have is a 200a stick welder or a .035 flux core 125a wirefeed welder.... Very delicate welding there....LOL not to mwntion making the vent holes line up again... In the pre-paint pic you can still see the murray sticker on the side of the hood...LOL
As for the chain, its much shorter than one might think, theres 2 chains, a 428 from the engine to the intermediate shaft at the front of the bucket, and a 50 chain from there to the axle...
As for the bolting up of a 200, its not quite the same mounts, as the 100 and smaller to my knowledge had a smaller mounting pattern than the 125+....wouldnt be hard by any means to make it work though...LOL although someday i want to get a 500cc two stroke and build a shifter cart around that engine... Nothing like getting on the pipe on a big bore smoker....hehehe
