Put a live axle on it and let them have at it. If you want a wing arm frame, design and build it to use the parts you have then swap everything over. Put a live axle on it and let them have at it. You can design and build a swing arm frame to use the parts you have then swap over when it's ready.

20 year old cart. Neglected and then resurrected. It's going to have some issues. Much of what you mentioned seems normal enough. Any machinery that you put back into service is going to have these type problems but usually once you get them taken care of, reliability returns within the limits...

Consider a screw driven lift table with an impact. It's already built and you just need to roll the cart on and trigger the impact.

Some more pics of this cart and the differential (I think). Any ideas on what thecart is? Or this dif? Another Another angle.

These are the pics I bought from. My camera is charging and I'll get better ones, hopefully tomorrow. Any idea of the brand of cart?

Any info would help. It has some type of (device maybe a differential) on the axle.

My suggestion is to buy a caliper the next time you're in harbor freight and you'll be able to check diameters without worry. It's a handy tool.

Hey gang, thanks for the add. A little about me and then maybe some of you can give some guidance. I'm a semi-retired maintenance mechanic and a pretty big fella at 280 and 6 ft. Well tooled up. I'm wanting a ride to bash around the neighborhood on/in. I was thinking a cart frame (no roll cage)...
