Or.....how I'm going to end up in the ER....
I picked up this frame for $20, along with a collection of tires, only 2 of which fit. My buddy and i dug through our junk and managed to get a lot of parts for it. HF had a 6.5hp engine on sale for $99 and the clutch and chain came from eBay. A piece of chain has been welded into a steering wheel. The mock up is just about done, and the real build should start this coming weekend.

Test run! It's been disassembled since, painted and is almost ready for final assembly.

It's actually just some chain my friend welded together. Its nowhere near symmetrical and a bit uncomfortable.
