(McCulloch) Not sure about a kit type drive for it. I know some Dimension Edge kits were without clutches. You might contact Tom Bartlett about his ZipCycle design https://motoredbikes.com/threads/string-trimmer-powered-bikes-and-sidecar.6045/ https://motoredbikes.com/threads/john-deere-zipcycle.8158/#post-93506 https://motoredbikes.com/media/albums/variations-on-the-zipcycle-theme.96/
