Gears & chains in motion on That's A Mower, Eh / Kinetic Choo Choo, former Honda 3813 Mower

10 years on, the bare lawn tractor chassis had sprouted the needed chains & cogs to put leg power to the PTO, in place of the motor. 8 chains tops, but 6 for ordinary service. Deets to follow. 10 left hand pedals on 5 bottom brackets..V-drive propeller uses 4 more.. 18 speeds x 6 x 3 x 5 at the transaxle + another 18x6x3 at the single wheel drive... ditto reverse... The wheels are (front) 36", (rear) 40" from old trampoline hoops.
Here's the evolution by fits & starts.. www.flickr.com/photos/27047646@N00/sets/72157594587108763...
