We put a narrowed Ford 9" under a electric golf cart so we could deliver heavy parts in the industrial park I use to work at. You could put a ton on the back of it and away you go.
Look into a center section out of a Honda SUV or even a Subaru center section would work.

Nope no atv pulls around here . Just lawnmower drags and truck and tractor pulls . And yes I seen some vw mowers at bowling green ohio. We go there every yr and camp. I took mine last yr and cruised around hammered drunk was a blast. Madmike i might take your advise and put a heavier rearend in it my buddy told me to when I built it I should have then . I was goin for low budget using stuff layin around I might try another cub for now . Id like to build a 2276 for it someday we will see. Thanks for the info guys
