Yes, you can put in a 55t lathe motor into a stock wk. You will likely have to solder the wires to the motor. The motor will need a gear put on it. Set the mesh of the gears like they describe in the wk manual and you will be good to go!

Blakeski when your WK was 10.5 did you have to modify the drive shafts or steering? I really like how it looked with the red rods.
