Cart shop lady told me these aluminum wheels haven't been made in 25 yrs. Plastic media blaster makes then look pretty good. Had to 'Loctite' the new bearings in, as a few of the old ones had spun a little. New tires. New tubes. Painted and flipped the sprocket. New bolts and lock washers.

Someone might want to move this post over to the gallery of builds. I was a complete noob when I started this thread. Seat mock-up. I'm going to trade a steamer to an upholstery guy for his seat work. . .

Here souper, I found this link to all the 415 manuals. http://www.gokartsrus.com/manco-415-go-kart-parts-manual-p-5000.html

My boys will turn 6 on the 27th. My first build of a cart. Not the kind of builds you guys do, but none the less, it's a build. Remember it was found curbside going to the trash dump. Yayyy !! Flat Black rush job. Booooo..... Rain....

It's going to be a birthday present for two 6 year olds the 27th. Surely they can't break it this year. Whatta ya think ?

Doh ! double post.

I've seen schematics of the 415 but they all have the caliper brake. This has a paddle on tire brake. Apparently there are a lot of variants of the manco 415 style?

Found this being thrown in the trash. I'm trying to identify the model. It has a 1981 5 Hp Briggs & Stratton engine.

Don't get too excited. I'm thinking about the 2012 contest. If you know what I mean.

Hey all, found you while looking for my Manco model number. As soon as the camera batteries are charged (of course they're dead, I wanna take a picture) I'll post a pic in the appropriate area and we can get the case solved. See ya soon !
