Sure will!

Heh... it is a nice little pile init?

So anyways... Its difficult to weld with a non function welder init? Need to get a fan back inside it, and ofcourse some paint.

{EDIT} And I totally figured out how to add pictures. Oh yeah.

Wow! That really is a "Tombstone", innit?!?!

Indeed, It had the misfortune to have been sitting outside for years. My dad got this welder when he was in highschool.

I had said to my dad "lets try to get this thing to work" he said something about how it wouldnt because of it being outside. So one day I dragged it out if the weeds and then at some point while I was at youth he fiddled with it and put some welds on a rotor. It works. Hooraw.

If thats all I can get done, Id be fine with that. Id be ready for the next build off!


I am hoping I can get something else atleast started though.

Didnt get much done tnite in the way of buildoff...

However I got the new brake lever on my minibike. That should help keep me safe... right?

I used a piece of copper pipe to make a space so it would fit. Still not 100% happy, I want to flare the ends of the copper so it dont move out of position.

Also took the head off an old 6hp briggs flatty... Looked better than I thought it would. I would like to have it running someday.Notice how on the exhaust side of the head its lower? Whats up with that?

 

[B.M.800]

I been a lil distracted from this...

Frame...

So were scrapping this big ole van... it has some supports you would hang on to in it. there is 5 that are the same, as you can see, they are pre-bent...

And there I was wondering when I would get some metal for a frame.

Looks like a nice start do you know what your going to make yet??

 

[B.M.800]

Not really... kinda depends on what parts I can find for stuff.
Even still, If we dont get the welder working, I aint building anything!

Theres still more metal in that van I want to get out, I think there may be enough for a simple frame.

So my brother suggests to look up on lincoln website for the fan motor we need for the welder... Ok sure, so I emailed them... response was fast, part cost $76.06.

Yeah...

 

[brettskarts]

welder

Hey $70 for a fan is alot of money... Dont mean to sound mean or what ever but your welder does not look up to much... I would say to look on kijiji or craigs list for another Lincoln Arc welder... These welders are a dime a dozen I bought a Lincoln mig And i paid $140 but i did my share of low balling lol Good luck with the kart

^^Its all good. We might actually be able to "rig" something up for the thing.
It still works, so I think its worth saving.
So long as it works, it can be ugly as swill.
