It looks like a swamp buggy, but sounds like a riding lawnmower.... 🙂😮... definitely needs more power and save the 460 for the Mazda... you make the coolest things, great job. 👍
👍👍👍
This is either the least truck or the most go-kart ever. Awesome!
Hahaha , thanks for watching.
🤣made me laugh, well said
I like your silly projects. I also like that you don’t play bad music over the video.
You’re doing 👍
Thanks 👍
Hernando,Fl. I have been building and running swamp buggies down here since 1961. Your rig would fit right in here. Nicely done👍
Thanks, I was in Florida for work this week , just west Daytona Beach
Love it Chris!
I am inspired and continue working on my Grandson's Predator powered Willys Jeep.
Today it's disassembling the brakes and getting ready to order parts. Monday is beginning to rework the rusted out body tub.
Thanks for the response to my questions in the recent past. They really helped.
😊
Awesome ,sounds like a fun project.
Love those big tires! Hello from Lakeland, Florida!
😁👍 thanks
It's remarkable what can be done with a small motor like that and a dab of ingenuity! Fantastic build! From Greeneville TN by way of Grundy VA
Thank you very much!
That is honestly the coolest thing I've ever seen run on a go cart engine, my bucket list build sheet is getting pretty tall but something like this go cart style just made it to the top of the list
Awesome, I'm pretty happy with it and since I got the 18 horsepower Duromax in it, it's a lot less sluggish. 👍
That is a real beast.
Your videos are great.
Thank you for posting.
From Tennessee
Thanks for watching!
Love these videos! Keep on keeping on and i'm sure you made Grandpa proud!
I think he would be happy seeing the truck useful again.
I love this project. It really is amazing how useful these little Predator engines are.
Commenting from Edmonton Alberta Canada
Thanks for watching!
Very cool stuff you are doing. Definitely inspired to find my own use for these engines, from south east Saskatchewan Canada
They will do some pretty cool stuff, Thanks for checking in.
Your projects always put a smile on my face. Awesome stuff and cheers!
Thanks
TE FELICITO POR TU PROYECTO EXELENTE SALUDO DESDE NEW YORK
Hey I really appreciate it ,Thanks
I just love how creative and genuine your channel is. Thanks for making videos!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Thanks Chris love these crazy experiments
Glad you like them!
Thanks to Key farms inspiration, I just started a similar project. A 94 ford ranger 5 spd. Had s worn out v6, but getting a 420cc. In the end I do plan on tagging and driving around town. Also, I compete in stereo competition, so it will have 150 dB of boom in the back.
That sounds awesome
Excellent progress! The transportation survivalist scores again!
LOL 🤣 , thanks
That's awesome! =) Watching from Ottawa, Canada!
My great uncles and grandfather all always used to go to Canada fishing Thanks for checking in.
Just a little more power and you got yourself a unit there! South Western Mississippi
Absolutely, I knew Mississippi would love this!!!
Sure like the open wheeledness of it.
Sloan, Nevada
Cool, thanks
Between this and the mg it's hard not to crack a smile lol my uncle and his neighbors all souped up their lawn tractors with chrome exhaust pipes etc... these remind me of home lol. currently in New Jersey but i was born and raised in the Carolina's.
Cool , glad you found the channel. There have been many different projects over the years , nothing too serious or refined, just a bunch of fun cool stuff. Thanks for watching.
That’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
Cool, thanks
Eat your heart out Henry Ford! Watching from Arkansas!
As far as the power plant, I'd say try all three! Next video can be the duromax, then the 670. The monster truck series can end with getting grandpa's old engine up and running.
Because it is a monster truck, will we see it eventually do "Monster Truck" stuff?🤔🤨... you know ......a $200 donor vehicle, a helmet and seatbelts, and go for it!
Great video Chris,
Thanks for sharing!
I like the way you think
I love builds that are completely unique to an individual and took some thinking. What a cool video! Watching from Gadsden Al !
Thanks, I'm only a couple hours from Gadsden
Really cool project! Keep it coming, Keyfarm! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Indiana!
Come take a ride! Thanks for watching!
I wish I had watched your channel a long time ago. I had old cars that needed an engine .
Toyota Corolla 1983 Fiat 500 1980 I got rid of it because I thought I couldn't find a replacement engine for those cars
Well at least you found it now and I hope you enjoy the content, Thanks.
Miller from gallatin TN 30mins out from Nashville Tennessee man keep on going
Hey thanks for watching, I'm only about 2 hours from Nashville.
Not bad I live in Gallatin TN work in Lebanon TN
👍
Pretty sweet from the ozarks in Missouri
Cool, I was in Missouri Monday for the eclipse.
Pretty cool! Also from the Ozarks, MO
That's pretty dang cool. I'm from Missouri
Cool ,I was in Poplar Bluff Missouri on Monday to watch the eclipse.
@ChrisfromKeyfarm yeah I know I was the one who said I wished I knew you were there so I could come say hi. I live in a small town about 15 or 20 minutes away from the bluff
Ok, I remember reading that. Thanks
What, have, you done, son? Lol, very cool.
Thanks, Chris, from Key farm.
Central California watching
Thanks, I always look forward to your comment! Thanks for the support
Redondo Beach California awesome work
Thanks
Pretty neat! A lot of work to make those wheels work. Very interesting to see that little engine move that beast.
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Looking good chris..
😁 Thanks
Sweet built, watching from my couch.
LOL, thanks
Amazing video think it’s time to get one for the channel
👍😁 Go for it
Cullman Alabama here! Great job on the truck!
That's cool I'm only 18 minutes from the Cullman 310 exit. Thanks for watching.

👍
Seen the Mazda on tractor tires video but grandpas rusted wrecker turned into a go kart . All about gearing. Sub’d
Thanks 👍
I love it ! Keep up the Great content, we truly enjoy it up here in Ohio
I certainly appreciate the support . I was born in your neighboring state of Indiana.
Great job Chris
We are North of Kansas City Missouri
You're the third person from Missouri and it's cool , I was there Monday
We are in the North West part of Missouri.
@timrobinson6404 cool, I drove through there Monday on my way to Missouri.
Good build. 17 mph is faster than I drive my gator and not near as cool !!!!! You done Grandpaw's truck good. God Bless. NW ga.
Thanks 👍
I love your videos! I am currently repowering my old 69 chevy c 10 strip down ! I'm going with the predator engines ! I'm watching you from sand mountain over here in Jackson County !
Keep up the good work , I'm learning a lot from you !
Man, that's awesome, glad I could help. Yesterday I put a bigger engine on the monster truck ( Duromax 440cc) I kept the same gear ratio, it has a lot more power.
I'll send pics when I get it done ! I would love to go with bigger engine but for now I'll be happy with the 212 !
👍
Nice ride... Nemo, Texas
Thanks 👍
Nice job! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
That's cool Keith this is Michael Madison 6.5 HP tow truck, can we see it floating I know it will with those big tire, you are a great Engineer, love your channel
Oh Man, your rig is awesome and has always been a favorite of mine. I can't believe it, Michael Madison commenting on my video, now that's cool , thanks, I appreciate it!
This is so entertaining. Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Awesome job
Thanks!
I love the monster truck build! I am writing this from Memphis, Tennessee, the gunshots are singing in the distance
Thanks, I appreciate you watching.
Poplar bluff MO. Cool project like the winch on the back
I was in Poplar Bluff for the eclipse That's pretty cool .Yes, this winch is very powerful! Thanks for watching
Just want you to know that youtube just randomly fed me this video, so it's getting out there! That's awesome! Let me guess... Carolinas? North? I'm from Cali and y'all are awesome out there! Subbed!
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Keyfarm is located in the great state of Alabama , a great place to live.
This looks like some fun!!
I've installed a bigger engine since this video, it is 👍
That is awesome good job man !
Thanks, I appreciate it.
One of your best builds, 4x4 would be great
I think it's pretty cool I really like it but it definitely needs to be four-wheel drive eventually. Thanks for watching
This is EPIC!!! Could you make a video on the gearing setup? I'd LOVE to do something like this!! And awesome score on the two tires originally, what a steal!
Thanks, this video shows most of what you need there is another video farther back on the channel that could also help

Great job it looks pretty cool should be fun to scoot around in
It is! , thanks for watching
Man, this is truly God's true purpose for the internet. Brother, you're a Duke of the domain. Thanks for continuing to share with us! Unique, creative, not copying others, real world stuff, handy, I learn something .. and Im entertained. Well done.
Awesome, thank you.
what a rig wow ! that power steering setup you built is really a great idea right off the input like that,
it really moves well with just the 6.5 they have a good powerband for sure, good work building it so far,
i wonder what itll do with a 670 vtwin... an a nice set of pipes an down under the back of the truck
It should be really cool.
awesome from Crawley West Virginia
Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
would love to see you to a collab with Red Beard and get one of his supercharged 670s in that truck. Amazing build my friend! keep up the good work!
Those big channels don't care anything about working with this little channel. They probably know that I exist but I haven't heard from any of them except for Red Beard's brother he watches. 🤣
Dude, I discovered your channel yesterday, your content and your projects are really cool. Here in Brazil, we call these vehicles with stationary engines "girico", here we normally use stationary diesel engines or micro tractors. Big hug comrade... (forgive any translation errors)
Cool, thanks for watching I love hearing from people on other continents. 👍😁
Good Job!
Thanks!
Nice. Yeah, definitely need more power there man. Maybe a roll bar for safety too? Cool stuff man.
Yes on both ,👍 thanks for watching
All I can say is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cape Breton Canada. Love the madness. Heck Yeah!!
Thanks 👍
I love your crazy project! I watching you from Hungary! :)
Awesome! Thank you!
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm 🔧🍻🙂
👍
Greetings from Maine ,four wheel drive with low low low granny gears would be cool !
Absolutely!!!
this guy gets to have all the fun
👍😁
That's perfect.... gonna get better from here! Spokane Valley, Washington
👍 thanks
Epic Build, 460 Ford for the win. 💪🏼😎 Illinois
That would be so cool, Thanks for watching
Man I love it!! You could benefit from a gear reduction torque converter and a little more restrictive exhaust like a loop.
I have a couple torque converters I'm not really a fan I've had nothing but problems out of them even when they're set up right .
I love it 😂 I would definitely love to see it 4x4 with a slightly larger small engine.
I you were my neighbor I would definitely volunteer to lend you a hand from time to time. 😅
You should see the looks I get when I test drive these contraptions.😜
Great project
Thanks
Your builds are always cool.
I know you have the other motors, bbuutttt.......a turbo charged small diesel would be super cool.
That would be nice 😁
Man this thing is cool !!!!!
Thanks
Watching from Kenya
Wow, thanks 👍
Great video, I would like to see you do sometime with a big boat thanks .
That'd be cool. Thanks for watching.
That's awesome!!! Take it to the pond and see if it floats. Probably put a Paddy Wagon body on that beast
We definitely have to see if it floats
I had an rc monster truck with monster Kong tires on it. I put gasket sealer on the breather holes and took it to the creek. It drove greatbon top of the water and threw up 2ft rooster tails
Awesome
Good job bro keep it up it is cool
Thanks, I appreciate it.
You might have a record holding go kart here. I would look into that 😎
That would be awesome
That is holy crap impressive
I wonder is it a stick shift transmission because it looks like you still have the transmission in there and how do you got it to where that engine is running the transmission very very curious
Thanks for watching, this should answer your question.

Nice job i knew you could top that tractor build
Cool , thanks 👍.
That is epically cool
Thanks, that's what I was going for. 😁
Watching from Athens Alabama
Lol I was at hometown in Athens on 31 a few minutes ago
Giving away cold drinks with one of my robots
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm How funny
I was there again today setting up a new store on Nick Davis and I was also at the sportsplex
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm You're all over Athens. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.
Hello from Mississippi
The neighboring state checking in thanks
Keep it lawnmower I say put the 440 on it and perhaps play with gearing to transmission.
Love the videos, these are things that all guys have wanted to do.
👍 thanks for watching
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm thanks for the videos
👍 my pleasure
I think it’s great what you’re doing. I’m from Locust Fork Alabama. I do have a 71 Chevy 4x4 that the body has fallen off HaHa but you have given me an idea I have a gator 4x6 if I ran a centrifugal clutch to its transmission. I’m doing away with the belt drive. What size sprocket should I run on the transmission for just a good puller not concerned with speed. Thanks in advance and keep them coming.
I would start with a large sprocket like 84 teeth like I have on the monster truck
Nice
Greatings from the Nederlands (EU) 🇳🇱
Cool, thanks for watching
that is so cool
Thanks 👍
Beef up the 670 internals, cam, carb 1 not 2, pocket port heads +stiffer valve springs, supercharger=Porsche 911 smog pump (from the 90's) intercooler=motorcycle radiator, fuel press. reg. with boost ref. for blow through set up. Tighten that, set that in place, spin that the other way and BAM! Show them how its done my dude!
👍
Yes hello I'm from Missouri you need 4x4 and a lower gear but none the less very neat
Thanks , I agree and appreciate you watching
Sound like you have it geared right for the road gear... just enough to let the clutch fully engage on the flats in high gear, so you don't burn it up 👍
Not sure that's quite low enough on 1st gear though. As the ol' timers would say "it wouldn't pull a greasy string out of cat's hind end". Might wanna find an old granny gear trans, or double drive it for a lower first.
You're right... people underestimate what you can do with 6hp.
The 18: horsepower Duromax is on it now and it's much better , still the same gear ratio
Awesome
Thanks
Sweet build, ever thought of putting a diesel pull start engine?
I have but the small diesels that I've looked into don't have any more torque than the gas engines
Hey! I Love the video. Watching from north of 59 in Saskatchewan Canada. Is there a way to do the same thing on a truck with an automatic transmission? Might be a silly question.
I have never seen it done with an automatic transmission Don't know if it would have enough power to shift
It's amazing what gear reduction can do!
It really is!
I've got 3 Michelin 54s (I think) off an Oshkosh and have been looking for a 4th for over 4 years. From good old central Texas.
What are you going to put them on? Thanks for watching.
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm don't know. I got 2 with a monster trailer axle for $100 and the 3rd at an auction for free because no one bid on them and the owner just wanted it gone so on my trailer it went. I tried selling them to a local army surplus store but they never call me back.
Id probably make a giant trike , I'm thinking about next year modifying my homemade minibike to run these tractor tires.
awesome
Glad you like it!
What size is the sprocket that is on the trains? Cool ride
84 tooth , thanks
do you use the same clutch on all the swaps you have done I seem to remember you found some kind of extra heavy duty centrifugal clutch12 tooth I think
I normally use a heavy duty noram style clutch on the 1" shaft engines , any ole cheap clutch for the 3/4" engine
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm Thank you I will stay with the 212 preditor engine at least for now thanks ,,, Big fan
Wonder if it work better with a go kart CVT? South west, Alabama
I have a CVT on my golf cart and I don't really like them but a good high quality one might work pretty well.
that's amazing ------ this is exactly the kind of stuff I dream up ---- what do you think about this kind of setup using 2 motors (front/rear) with HD go cart CVTs? and lose the weight of the trans/transfer case ------ maybe on a smaller lighter frame ---- was thinking having 2 front diffs so ALL wheel steer so the motor setups will be identical - and mounting the motors directly to the axles ...... what do you think? my thought was a suzuki or toyota frame ---- for actual use I think 31 to 35 inch tires --- would a top of the line go cart CVT be strong enough ----- I think a comfortable cruising speed should be 25-35 --- no body but a light but strong cage and harnesses ---- i think the fun model would be the suzuki and the work model maybe toyota or bigger ----- you should do a test and see how much hay you can haul on that thing ------ put smaller tires on it for torque and see how much hay you can tow on a trailer and a platmorm on that back of that thing ---- or how about a buggy out of a samurai chassis with the stock trans/fercase but one of those 200cc chinese diesels powering it or couple 2 together but it can run on either or both so you never get stranded on a motor failure ---- that have 530:1 ish gears available --- or try it with 2 motors and leave the body on. ---- it would be cool to see a light version with 1 motor, 530 gears, smallish tires and see what you could climb with 200cc
I have thought about many different setups but with limited time I really have to decide which one I want to put my efforts towards. 👍 Thanks for watching
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm i get it --- it costs nothing to dream --- i forgot --- my idea would have no reverse --- i saw some dude on YT somewhere in the world made a small reverse box. Do you have an idea of how to put a small motor directly on a diff with 2 speeds and a reverse ?
i just found you --- i'm a huge fan and think what you are doing is important --- the beauty of having a 100$ motor that you can replace in an hour is obvious . One of my hobbies is dreaming up wild ideas that I will never be able to do myself. I have designed a system to integrate a half dozen ish hybrid technologies and I think that in the future, especially for work vehicles that modular hybrid systems and get easily added and subtracted. I think the future is storing energy in various ways and using it in various ways including recycling heat. I think you would be the perfect guy to work with to try to develop low budget proofs of concept. I'd be willing to invest time, maybe money.
another idea --- if you had a pod with a build in motor that could spin 360 deg. then you wouldn't need a reverse ---- get a cheap 4WS chassis somehow and put 1 or 2 pods in the center that can also hydraulicly drop for more traction ---- also maybe some travel ----- the 4wheel 2 motor minibike is also a fav. I say nix the front motor, put more power in rear and make the outer wheels a bit smaller and more better tread ---- what do y ou think about putting 2 clutches , one between the center wheel and each side wheel---- i know it's complex, but how would it function as far as steering ----- i'm pretty sure i am your biggest fan ...
