Nice Rebuild! Very clean. My wife is wanting me to teach her how to weld so she can build a kart like that.

I guess I should Powder Coat those steering rods to make them look better! And I've been kicking the idea of putting in a new axle with a differential to give the Grandsons two wheel drive for when they get big enough to drive it. Maybe gear it up a little more too! Also, I have the threading...

Steering is nothing fancy. I had some 12 mm Shifter Rod Ends from an Isuzu NPR transmission that made perfect Kart Rod ends. The steering is adjustable just like an automobile! We changed out the roll bar padding last month and I am holding it in place temporarily with painter tape. Gotta get...

This will make you slap your head! The chain tensioner is a water pump belt tensioner off a Ford EFI 460 engine. It's wide, flat and holds just enough tension to keep the chain tight enough but not too much. Partly because of how I mounted it to lower the tension it has on the chain. I had a...

Some more! Since these stuck! Here's some shots of the engine, transmission, jackshaft and sprockets. I had to put in a Jack Shaft to gear it down. It would run almost 45 mph before I geared it down. Way too fast for the girls. Now when the Boys grow into it I may gear itr back up. But, then...

More! Not having a lot of luck uploading these. Been trying to upload them since last Friday! I wanted to have both beds tilted for the pictures but the Big one has the sprayer tank in it's bed full of weed killer. Here you can see the 4 HP Honda motor.

Reminds me of my neighbors Bar Stool Kart. Cleaver! That would be a big hit at Burning Man!

Thanks, I actually like the Thumbnail setup you have here better than the other Forums I hang out at. I'm a regular member on about 6 daily, and about 15 total during the week. Yea, I'm retired and when the weather is too cold or hot to work in the shop I hang out on my laptop. But I gotta warn...

Thanks! They enjoy it every visit. Been thinking of putting on some suspension to make the ride smoother. But they have so much fun with it now it's hard to spend the cash on something they won't stay off of as it is. The rear suspension is a no brainer but the front I was going to build a old...

Here's a few more pictures I found in my Computer. That is their dad riding with them the first time. And the Girls posing with their new toy. You can see the comparison between the Brister and the Ranch Kart! I just realized that the other pictures are in Thumbnails already, so that won't...

Since I've really never taken any close up pictures of the running gear that's a good suggestion. I'll post some up later today. The kart has a solid suspension but I did design it so it could have some built in later. But later never came.

Ok, I'm a new guy to this Forum but not a new guy when it comes to building stuff. For example my Granddaughters Ranch Go Kart/ work truck I built for them off the top of my head a few years ago. As in "No Professional Plans"! (I hope these pictures are big enough. If not I'll try and find the...

Hi guys. I've been building custom toys like GO Karts, motorcycles and 4X4 trucks for decades. Found this site tonight and thought "What a Fun Site! I think I'll join up." And I have a few projects I'd like to share for your entertainment. And a few in the planning stages you might get a...
