Are band brake drums suppose to be slightly flared out? And mine has a slight dip or sag in the middle part that grips the brake band

Does that have a lever for reverse? Nice chrome steering wheel

Get the dune cat. Brakes are cheap and easy to install. Add a torque converter if needed. Later when your kid is to big the resale market and price always go up. In Texas that kart is an easy $1,000.

I finally found a picture of the original bearing flange locations

Bring a trailer auctions had 2 different dune cats for sale with lots of pictures. The flanges were installed differently on each one. Unless someone finds one in a old barn and take pictures I guess I’ll have to removed zip ties and bolt, unbolt, bolt, unbolt and bolt till I get it right. Lol...

The axles do move side to side a bit. Never did before. Confusing. Hopefully some one will have pictures to save me hours of frustration. The flange mounts closet to the tire hub are angled above 10 degrees inward that only adds to my confusion

I thought the same so I didn’t take pictures before I disassembled the axle. I do remember cleaning crust strip off the center of the bearings. The bearings closest to the hub were ‘stuck’ so I left them in place while I removed old paint and rust. When I reinstalling the axle this location of...

I need good pictures of the original bearing (flange) location on the axle. I don’t know if my bearings was installed properly when i bought it. Thanks

Are the axles supposed to slide out of the differential? Didn’t see any “locking devices”. Mine slid out after I unbolted the bearing flanges. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Thanks for keeping an eye out. Just to far to drive the gas cost is about $200. This type of shell was mass produced for amusement parks all over the US. Hopefully I’ll find something closer.

Welcome to the guru go kart forum! Lots of good short cuts for repairs and tips for preventing future problems with using superior parts for your needs. Hopefully your son gets the ‘bug’ to fix the kart (on his own) when it brakes down instead waiting (and losing interest) for YOU to fix it. I...

Years ago I had a Frankenstein mini bike. For storage I use a 20”long piece of 4”PC pipe. Glued a cap on the bottom and lightly sanded the inside of the top cap so it went on easy (never popped off). The PC plastic will bend with a heat gun to fit better up against the frame. Had it mounted...

Can 8” golf cart hub caps fit on Mudhead 208R 8” rims. Can a 3/4” spindle fit as well or do I need to change bearings to work? If the Mudhead original bearings are metric do they even make bearings with metric outer measurements and ‘standard’ inner measurements that would fit? One last...

I’m about 2 years too late. I moved from Michigan too Texas. I’m sure shipping would push pass my budget on the shell. I have seen them for less than a hundred bucks in other states near buy but the gas to travel is about $300. I’m looking to spend no more than $250 total. The kart shell in the...
