Was trying to come up with an easy way but like you said, custom made was the way to go. I packed up the parts and shipped them out last week to have a dual flanged hub made the length I need and to fit the wheel, sprocket and brake drum I already have. Was told it would cost no more than 45...

I have been using a differential rear end on my bar stool for a little over 3 1/2 years now and have had no problems, but I am only using a Tecumseh 6.5hp. The guy I bought the differential from said it might or might not hold up. When I saw that I wasn't having any problems I bought 2 more and...

The pic I posted of the Dunlop slick shows the back spacing of the wheel, measurement is to center of wheel where hub flange would mount. There is no off set, both the inside and outside are the same. The measurement is actually about 4 3/4" to edge of rim. I wasn't holding the tape measurer...

Found a site... Found a site, http://www.carterbro.com/_files/Ipls/1203.pdf for a complete list of parts numbers for Carter Brothers Model 1203. I called the number it has listed for Carter Brothers Mfg. Co., Inc. (334) 735-2301 to order a couple other parts. I also ask when the model 1203...

Hi, The picture I posted of the bar stool, I have a diff rear end on it and have a couple extras sitting in the garage. But that would mean cutting the back end off the kart and completely fabricating a new back end for a diffferential live axle by welding on 4 bearing hangers, 2 for each side...

Never had any luck with the Chinese Honda clone 6.5's, they are very cheap and fun UNTIL THEY BREAK DOWN. I purchased a couple of them new, put one on a yard kart and it lasted almost 2 months before it just quit. The other "knock off" I gave to a relative to put on a log splitter and worked...

After wadeing through and checking the ideas I've received so far only to find out that for one reason or another they either just won't work or would end up being so "rigged looking". I have been talking to a guy selling a pair of front hubs with rotors for a shifter kart on eBay but not sure...

Not many wheel options for older style kart wheel hubs, that I knew of or was interested in! That's why I just changed out all the original 4 bolt pattern hubs with light weight aluminum ones that have a 3 bolt pattern that fit the newer polished aluminum wide racing wheels and fat slicks. We...

Here's some pictures, hope they help. I got a longer shank 5/8" bolt today to weld on after the original shorter one is cut off. I had thought that the hub would have to be 6" between flanges but after measuring from center of wheel to edge of wheel it's just under 4 7/8" and if each flange was...

Pictures of past project Okay, I think I've got the loading photo's down after successfully loading these of my bar stool. I just need to get the kart out and try to take some pics worth a thousand words.

Thanks, Will see what I can do, after I take some pics and then read up on how to post them on here.

The left and right front and right rear wheels were not an issue, just the left rear drive wheel. I believe what I need for the left rear drive wheel is a dual flange hub with a bearing in each end for a 5/8" stub axle. The hub would need to be 6 inches between flanges to accomodate mounting the...

I have a 70's era Carter Brothers Go Kart that we grew up riding as kids. I am trying to update the old frame with more modern wide tires and polished aluminum racing wheels for my kids to now ride. Replacing the original 5" split wheels and hubs with light weight hubs with 5/8" ID bearings...
