In a few years he might laugh but now isn't the time.

I'd like to see a pic of this atv now that we're all confused and had our laugh.

I think he's already got a jackshaft... the rod and all he needs to do is turn the engine 180 and slide (if it does) a gear over from one side to the same as the existing gear to the rear chain is. He'll have a reduction shaft...

We need more info...

...I've got a homelite here that I'm rigging for a FD... Milled off the flywheel starter components/fan blades to the level of the magnet and I STILL gotta look twice at it EVERY time to be sure which way rotation is...

yeah, ok, i was being mean

yep. i think you got the nail on the head there rust.

rod with bearings sounds like a jackshaft to me too.

i was too busy laughing though

i still like the front wheel drive rear steer concept mind you...

Here's how I reversed my Predator's rotation.
I put a 3" dia clutch on the jackshaft, and it's bell doubles as the drive roller

Works way better than I imagined, 38mph!
