Disposed of...... surly you jest......
One doesnt just dispose of un-needed parts... one starts a pile and contributes to it......

You'll need as a start.....
- An Axle that fits the hubs on the rim( measure the hub and go from there)
-Bearings to fit said axle. ( I cant really suggest much based on the pics you have shown so far, more pics could elaborate on the topic)
-Shaft collars(to fit axle)
-A sprocket hub( to fit axle and the size of sprocket for the chosen chain size, #35 or #40)
-A sprocket( of the correct chain size[see above]), these are a weld-on verity keep that in mind.
-A clutch(Pick a # and buy the appropriate size above)(make sure it is the right bore size for your motor PTO shaft)

-Brakes are difficult, as you can only buy a 1" bore disc, How ever a sprocket with a hub could more than adequately suffice as a disc.......
-A caliper(and bracket) for said disc, they have two types........ pay real attention to the actuation of these two...... (I had a real problem with my first build choice cause it was a bit cheaper at the time). choose the one that fits best for your frame....

The welding isn't a problem. I've never welded before but have a friend that will weld up anything I need. I can't find any axel on PA website altho I'm sure they have them. Im up in the air about going live now. Only reason I didn't consider it at first because of the expense. I'm hoping my parents will pick up parts for me in the states when they go on holidays next week. If they will and have time for it all to be shipped to them I think I'll have everything ready to complete the cart aside from a throttle hook up and brakes. Thanks for all the help :cheers2:. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon

my hauler has same diff. and 2 10'' disc brakes.. works just great.. But I slipped the splines on just one axle and machine doesn't move at all. There not very heavy duty differentials. I know ya can abuse them and work great,til that day it failes . Slack in chain just puts a lot of shock load on differential gears that are on fine splines.
