I remember a thread or post on here where a guy built a go kart with a peerless transmission or transaxle and a belt slip clutch. There was a video with him riding in a yard shifting on the fly. I remember thinking to myself that the shift keys weren't going to last long doing that. Thought I...

A few members asked for pics of my Maytag washing machine engine. This engine was my grandmothers and it used to power her Maytag wringer washer (as we called it). It is 2 stroke, 2 cylinder, and is kick started. I've been meaning to restore this for some time but I tend to have a lot of...

I need a 4" rim/hub/sprocket combo that uses the typical 1-3/8" OD, 5/8" ID snap ring bearings. Would prefer a 2pc rim with sprocket hub and sprocket but a 1pc rim/hub/sprocket would be fine. As per the rules, not looking to spend over $20-$30 shipped. Zip is 15825 for shipping cost estimation.
