If the 12 HP has an rpm of 2200 and the wheel is 6' all the way around.you will get 6' x 2200 with a 1 to 1 ratio pulley system. But you also want some power. I would do a 5 to 1 back ratio pulley being the bigger pulley The would give power / faster starts and a top speed of about 30 to 40 MPH You can always change the pulley ratio to change top speed. You will burn up a lawn mower trans axle at this speed.<a href="http://www.familylawmadeeasy.com/family-law-attorney.htm"> TSW</a> Do a belt drive instead.with a tightener pulley to get it going.
