Watch those 3 lug wheels. I had some 110cc parts on a kart I made last year and they started bending until they split at each lug nut around the hub. Had to upgrade to thicker center 4 on 110 wheels. On the rear, I skipped using the 110cc carrier and went with one from a 350cc Warrior...

Here you go... out on MBN http://www.minibuggy.net/forum/showthread.php?p=313442 Posts 16-18 show the chain case. It uses innards from a Toyota Hilux Truck transfer case. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

@mkutzy , @bansil , I was reading on another forum where a machinist makes chain/gear cases and other parts out of damaged deisel engine pistons. Impressive stuff. A forge is on my project bucket list now... Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Last year (before go-kart projects) I used rattle cans and sprayed a car... well the top half. This is Rustoleum or Krylon(?) satin black . I tried a can of each and bought more of the brand that had the best pattern from the nozzle. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk BTW, the hoop...

Looks really nice with the black and yellow paint. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

If you like hacking instead of new parts, be sure to start with a decent pick. I had this wheel center failure happen on my yard kart. The wheel and hub is from a110cc ATV. The tire was OK, but was worn badly when I got it from the scrapper. Paid cents a pound for the ATV front and rear clip...

My first (and hopefully last) AWD tranny replacement. 2005 Ford Freestyle wagon had a CVT failure in January, and just getting around to replacing it. I made adjustment to get the tranny jack flat against the k-member on driver side and need to get another floor jack so I can let down the...

Guess it may depend on where you live. I have ordered parts from sellers on Amazon and had parts at the house in a day or two. Shipping carriers are busier than ever with all the online sales now days. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Really nice work with the repairs on the shop. That building must be really glad to have an owner like you ! Electricity is a real game changer for a shop. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I found a few interesting articles on Motorcycle.com comparing a Can Am Spyder to a Slingshot and a Morgan reverse trike, and the Spyder seems to be the closest match to what I am attempting. A little searching of front suspension diagrams confirmed there is a anti-roll (sway) bar on the front...

Running and rolling. Made a couple of burnouts and set the idle, then took it for a lap around the yard track. I let it cool for a bit, then started it easily for the second video. I took it around the track in first gear and no more than 15 mph on straitaway, with a throttle "goose" here...

Adding a longer hose is OK. Just add more fluid and bleed the brakes as usual. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Did you complete the build ? Or just fix it and flip ?? Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Hi @anickode Post some pics when you get it going. I love how TIG looks so flat. When you are welding, does the TIG process look any different compared to MIG ? I have trouble seeing what I am doing sometimes with my MIG, could be that I'm getting old, or just bad prep work, or maybe my...

I had to lift a boat dock at the river today. One of the main posts (a pier or pile, typically pounded into the muddy lake bed) had settled a few inches, so I needed to lift up a section of the boat dock dock and re-fasten it. The challenge was to do this while standing on the dock and...

If I understand your description, the a arm would look like this on the frame: (viewed from the driver side (left) wheel) o*==upper==o o==lower==*o The washers go at the * and would be reversed on the passenger side (right side) Sounds like it may work, but if you plan on using threaded heim...

Thanks ! Hopefully this week will be the first rolling test. There are still a couple of rocks in the gas tank, final routing of wires and hoses (where does this one go?) and I have to make a battery box removable... and probably several other things that will need to be taken care of. By...

Tilting seat Need to make a stronger seat mount using some 3/16 flat bar. I used my flame tip carbide burr as a center punch and it works better than any of the dull punches that I cannot find today.* Been using a step bit to see how long it will last. I put a drop of oil on each hole...

Tilting tank and sissy bar are ON. For the sissy bar, I bent up a couple of tubes and added some smaller tube and made plugs for extra strength. This is the left inside one that will not show. Always try to do your best work in the areas nobody will ever see. Then I drilled the hole for...

One of the first things I added before I started engine mods was a tachometer. That tells you if you are hitting the governed engine speed. Also tells you the RPM for idle and about when the clutch starts engaging as a baseline. The tach I have keeps track of the max engine RPM and the hours...
