This is it! First shakedown run of the Diesel Weasel Rat Rod Mini Mow Kart! This thing actually works! Took it for a rip up the street, testing the throttle, steering and brakes. I'm very pleased with the results!
Hey folks- I see a lot of you good people are digging this test drive video, but many haven't noticed that The Weasel is complete! Check out the big reveal video- lots of action, and a FLAMETHROWER exhaust! See it here- • The Great Diesel Wease...

Love the red rims and painted tires. When I seen the exhaust I thought it might be neat to have a small little "flapper" on the top. Great job. Nice machine!

That thing is pretty cool Doc! It rolls coal like a beast! I wonder if you could get a lower engagement spring for the torque converter. It seems to engage a little high in the RPM range. Awesome build!

Thank you, I appreciate the props! I'm looking into tuning the CVT to engage at a lower RPM, just searching the interwebs for different springs and weights. Also looking into tuning the driven unit a bit, too.
