Thanks very much for your reply, I will probably come up with lots more
questions over time! I might make the entire frame out of the lawnmower
frame without any machine-shop tools or welders... !

Hi Harry,

Yes - you can simply use the self-drive mechanism (pulley wheel) on the
output shaft of the lawnmower engine, instead of having to bolt something
where the blade is. Obviously, you will need to remove the blade itself.
You may have to change the size of pulley wheels in order to increase the
speed.

Best of Luck,
-steve
