Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawnmower go kart, riding lawnmower, transaxle

Question
hi my name is chase
i am building a kart from scratch and i am using an old riding lawnmower for parts
everything works on it and i started building a frame for the kart when i ran into a problem.
i need the lawnmower transmission that i am using to extend out about another 8 inches on each side.
is there a way i acn make axle extenders of some sort?

Answer
 Hello Chase:

 You can Manufacture you Axle Extensions with a Couple of Carrier Bearings and Some Steel Round Stock. Making the Connections for the Transaxle and the Wheels will be the Hardest Part of this Endeavor. Hope this Helps. I am Here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
