I have a junkyard kart, it has 3/4 in axles. Will i have problems getting parts for it?

A better description, model and pictures will go a long way toward getting help.

This is a junk yard cart .i have no idea what kind. I wanted to buy new tires and bearings, the drive axles is .75in / 3/4in dia.3




measured with a mic. the cart folks show a 5/8in or 1in for clutch,wheels,bearings etc.

With these dog gone Cadillacs the Doctor says I got, I just can’t see that kart. Sorry. But you should be able to find something.

I made it that far, and then got stuck on trying to find a 6" split rim (2-piece) to fit a 3/4" hub. If you're going to chuck out axle, bearings, tires, why not just chuck the entire rear end and go all 1" live axle rear end? You could even get a 1" drift trike full setup for your kart...............
