I bought this today for $50.
I have done many karts before, but I've never seen one like this. Does anyone recognize this kart? I would like to know how the rear end is assembled.
If anyone has any pics, that would be great!

I think you’re going to need a welder.

Looks like the axle snapped in twain and the stub is poking out in photo #1. 🤔

The exploded parts view ain’t much help. At least with Manco, there was a dotted line connecting the parts where they needed to go:


Suffice to say, there’s shocks on all four corners, unusual for a live axle kart. Must have had a little pivot action going on in the back.

Edited to add: if one of those Failbook Carter Brothers Groups can show you what an intact one looks like, or how it goes together, steal all their photos, report back and post them here…😁

Hellion, that parts list is just what I needed.
Yes, I found the broken axle and have a new one ordered. I figured out how it's put together and will post pics later. The suspension on the back is like nothing I've seen!
