    Is this a manco or??

    I had a feeling this was maybe a ken bar kart until I went to pick it up. Don't worry, i just got it home and first agenda is getting rid of you know what! After getting it home I'm thinking it may be a manco, but I'm still up in the air, were my first thoughts correct? If it's manco I'm...

    Reduction box uses?

    I just picked up an old briggs flathead that had a reduction box attached nearly identical to the one in the pictures, if I gather correctly they lower top end and raise the torque? What uses might it be good for in the karting world?

    2019 - Scrap rod build

    All I can think to call it is the scrap rod, doing a wheel barrow kart, everything in the picture came free to me, or I picked up from my back yard, I'm hoping to only need to purchase clutch, chain, and brakes at max, everything else I want to recycle from the scrap pile in my yard, as well as...

    Anyone ever use a mower transaxle?

    I have an idea for a build-off project, but it all hinges on the idea of using a transaxle from a craftsman riding mower, upside down. Can they operate correctly upside down without damage, and would it still turn the wheels in the correct direction? If this can be done without tons of cash and...

    Getting another project!

    This should be the best deal for me so far, my father-in-law is building a full suspension crosskart, and he has a Murray explorer in the yard sitting as a roller, only missing engine and roll cage, he said if he can keep the pedals and linkage the rest can go home with me! Its been sitting for...

    Should I trade?

    I currently have a shaller ss01, it's ok, but I don't have much pavement around. I'm also in the process as noted in another thread, of fixing up a manco dingo. I started thumbing thru Craigslist, and low and behold, another dingo, in nice condition for $300, so I asked if barter was an option...

    My poor manco dingo project

    I'll post up the pictures I currently have, another member opened my eyes and I'm going to fix this one up, I'm sure I'll have a few questions along the way, my first being, this frame was stretched by the p.o. and I'm fairly tall as well, with the amount he added I tiptoe the pedals at full...

    I've got an idea, to do, or not to do?

    Alright guys, I'm a tinker junkie, and both of these karts do have work that needs done, a lot of it. The red one is a shaller ss01, and the black one is a manco dingo in REALLY bad shape, I'm not scrapping either project, but I am considering taking all the good stuff off the dingo such as the...

    New from colorado

    Good morning and hello! Old guy from colorado, just got back into small engines, karts, and mini-motorized- whatever's. Grew up in a vintage 5hp streaker, now have a manco dingo, and a shaller model ss01. Love to tinker and have seen a few older posts here, figured this may be the "spot!"
