*Update* So I did decide to get some new tires, I actually found the exact same style that were on it when I got it at my local tractor supple. After fighting with getting the tires on the rim (ugh that sucked ***, makes me want to buy a tire changer), they are now on there and look pretty good...

I have a manco 706, the front tires were a piece rim so tubes would probably be ok for that. I'll probably just get new tires, use them for a bit, and sell them later on when i upgrade.

It's a fair point. I have been leaning towards new tires anyhow, as converting to hubs is probably a fair bit away.

I do plan on changing the setup and going with 4-on-4 bearing front hubs and 4-lug wheels. I'm not sure when though. I'm just not sure I'll get the use out of new tires is all, lol.

I'm wondering if it's worth getting new tires or just adding tubes to my existing ones. The ones I currently have won't hold air because of age and dry rot, I'm not actually sure how long I want to keep these size tires anyhow so should I just get tubes or spend a bit more for new tires (of the...

It'll have to wait, the clutch was what I could get for now so, back burner for now.

I was HOPING to get a bit of riding out of it first before upgrading to a torque converter but I guess that's not going to happen apparently, ok it's going to have to be shelved for awhile then. Thanks anyhow.

From what I've seen through googling the model number (found it on the floor), the tires and sprocket seem to be stock, however I will take a photo here in a bit regardless.

So maybe I'm just dumb but I thought a centrifugal clutch would still WORK, it would just be slower and less power? I know torque converters are better, I get that much but I wanted to work up to that later on.

So as the title states, my cart won't move under it's own power and I'm stumped as to why. So background, it is a Manco 706b-2, recently picked up at an auction. It came with some kind of engine that someone welded what looked to be a bicycle sprocket to (no idea) and I already had a Predator...
