Truckster layout Cushman? If I am thinking of the right vehicles- You have or had a flat twin Onan under the seat area? Or a Briggs large single located again under bench seat? Live axle at back with leaf spring suspension, short drive shaft, 3 speed transmission bolted to flat twin engine? Single cylinder model I think had Comet belt drive auto trans and chain drive to solid mount axle. You indicate 'frame' only- perhaps a large MTD transaxle from a 15 to 25 hp tractor bolted to frame and flat twin Briggs engine under seat area. If single cylinder frame- Hydrostatic Peerless transaxles are around, horizontal or vertical single 12 to 16 hp Briggs or Tecumseh in seat area. A drive train I know- brothers 'Ranch King' mower has a vertical 16hp OHV Briggs with a belt drive to select shift on the go transaxle. Low profile engine would probably fit under seat area, transaxle shift lever could be operated by cable. Another possible drive train from a snowmobile might be usable- Rotax single or twin to Comet belt drive transmission with jackshaft then belt or chain to Peerless axle, or old sears suburban 3/2 speed transaxle. This drive train seen on hot rod puller garden tractor. Check the salvage yards/ back rooms of small engine shops for engines and transmissions available, bring your tape measure. ATV back axles/engines might be considered also- suspension and brakes could be handy to have, track width wider than some garden tractors, wheels and tires may be more available. RN
