I thought I read there was a difference in the steering shaft length that determined wether I should go stepped or straight, but I can't find the post anymore.

I'm getting ready to rebuild my front end on a 3203, and currently have the straight spindles. What's the pros and cons of switching to stepped, or the difference in the front suspensions with straight vs stepped spindles.

Nothing bent, at least nothing worse than what was already there. I was worried about it so only moderate pressure. Just enough to give the sledge a boost. Once I got it moving, it moved fairly easy I the polished section.

I polished the side of the axle i needed to move the sprocket to, heated the hub portion, and used a scissor jack from my wife's car to "press" it in the right direction. Along with the pressure of the jack, a 4lb sledge did the trick and moved it into the right place. hopefully friday morning i...

Heat is the plan. It's not welded, snap rings and bolts removed. The was it a good idea.

its been fixed, it was only mocked up for purposes of belt alignment and was only flipped backwards. problem I'm having now is the sprocket attached to the axle is rusted to the axle. hammers, and air tools have done nothing to budge it. its soaking in penetrating oil for now in hopes that will...

What am I missing? That's all that was supplied with the cart. The spacer is in the right place, under the belt.

So swapping the torque converter and sprocket did the trick. Now I have to move the axle sprocket over and reattach without removing it. Previous owner welded 4 bolt hubs to the axle and the OD of the hubs are larger than the components attached to the axle. One question. The clutch still...

The circular spring clips that holds the sprocket in place.

If I space the clutch out to match the other pulley, I'm left with about 3/8" left on the shaft for the clutch, making it necessary to run a bolt longer than I'm comfortable with. Switching the chain and belt drives on their shafts is possible I think, but the axle has spring clips to retain...

It wasn't actually bolted down, just mocked up. The engine isn't bolted in place either, so it looks off, but once bolted it will be parallel, just not in line.

I recently bought an old yerf dog go kart (model 2303 I believe) and I'm having trouble sourcing correct parts. The motor included was not stock, it's a Briggs 950 series. I'll show pictures below showing the problem. Once I found the model with internet searches I was able to source what I...
