Can you help me find this hub?

[Stephen115]

I have this kart and the hub has worn its self to the point where the ID is bigger than the axle and I need to replace it.

The axle is not a 1'' but I'm almost sure its 3/4'', just need someone to clarify.

I'm thinking this wheel hub will work but I'm not sure: http://www.bmikarts.com/item/34-Double-Flange-Wheel-Hub-262037-6533

Hope someone can Identify the original hub and let me know what will work

thanks

2 wheel, but if I had to go with 1 wheel I wouldn't complain

here is what you need http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_52526_52526
you will need a new axel and pillow block bearings

can you take a picture of the axel i don't think that kart was originally 2 wheel drive

That hub is 1 inch, won't work. The axle goes all the way through the frame with bearings on each end holding it. The axle is definetly not a 1". The hub holds the wheel, sprocket and brake drum

thats why i said you would need to get a new axel and bearings

so they don't make a hub that will fit my axle? getting a new axle could be a pain cause I'll have to get all new stuff...

The hub you saw from BMI is what you need, I have a very similar frame to yours, does the axle ride inside a 1 1/4" tube? Take a look @ my "$150.00 pawn shop find" thread to see the route I went.

Just went back & looked @ the blow ups of the photos, your Kart is almost identical with the exception of the adjustable seat on mine. The hub from BMI should work fine.

Check the axle itself before ordering the hub. If the axle is shot you're in for a treat. I searched for weeks without finding one. You might have to buy a stick of 4130 & have the keyways cut & the ends threaded.

Yes. Thank you

I can't even see the hub much less identify it. Can you give us some better pics of the rear end? Maybe take the wheel off
