Does anyone know where I might find replacement parts for this Kart?

3hp B&S
Tag on frame says "Bird" made in Nebraska

What needs to be replaced?

What needs to be replaced?

It was my understanding that everybody had already heard.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Oh, a word. You're right, everybody knows.

 

[bob58o]

So do you, or do you not know about the Bird? Cause everybody's heard that the bird is the word.

I don't really like Family Guy that much but I appreciate this. I'm easily amused I guess. I like repetition.

Wheel bearings

Brake assembly

 

[bob58o]

Wheel bearings should be pretty simple. I don't think you really need anything that is kart specific, just need to measure the old ones.

And is that a Band brake? Then also you could just measure the drum and buy a generic replacement.

Looking for a website / catalog company that would have everything in one place and possibly some upgrades.

Never had a kart before, rescued this one

Kart appears to be 25+ yr old. I was afraid to disassemble anything for fear of not being able to find a replacement part.

BMIKarts.com has an extensive inventory.

Does anyone have a guess at value of kart?

Runs and drives
All surface rust has been removed
Body has some scuffs but no cracks

 

[bob58o]

I'm guessing somebody is going to want to give you $200 and you are going to want $500, so I value the kart at $350 +/- $150. LOL I wouldn't pay much more than $200, but somebody who likes the body probably would.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

~$300. Depends largely on where you live, I think.
