Dingo rebuild

[Dingocat]

I didn't bother with primer, but learned a few tricks when I did paint and body. After paint it goes together super fast, and I did figure out the throttle pedal at least, so If you need pictures when you put it together I can post some.

I'm going to put a coat. But after I paint it I need parts, when I got it both bearings were seized. And I should be able to figure out the throttle, thanks though.

Sorry for sideways pic..... only pic I've got from today. Before painting the seat and area around it. had to take it down so we could pull my truck into the barn. Put it on jacks because of leaky brakes, found holes in the frame. Time to go car shopping.

That frame hole is nasty!!

 

[Dingocat]

More than one. My dad is thinking about fixing it but at the same time my mom wants it out of the way/gone.

Pic. Primer from yesterday. More to do but sand first.

Dingo is starting to look good, that Toyota on the other hand I don't know that "repair" would be the proper term, perhaps replace the frame?

 

[Dingocat]

He plans to chop it back to solid metal and get a new piece to wel d in, with propper bracing. Maybe take a trip to a junkyard and see if we coould get a frame cheap.

 

[Dingocat]

Got some stuff done. Most of the remaining frame is primed. And the truck is welded. Clean it up a bit, paint where we welded and put in new brale lines and it can all go back together.

Awesome. Glad the truck is fixed. Kart looks good. I’m still chugging away at my projects as well.

Progress.

Got lug nuts for the wheel hubs. Then found out my dad had some stashed away. And also ran around town looking for wheel studs. Going to try the small engine repair place that my friend works at.

Looking good!

Got another Briggs. 8 horse. Tapered shaft. Going to probably swap the crank from my other briggs into it.

Is the new one the I/C one?
I would love to get my hands on a sleeved flathead.

 

[Dingocat]

Not my i/c. Friend's. I would have gotten it but needed the other for the dingo.

My dad did get a newer 5 horse off his friend for free. Sat, had a stuck valve, friend fixxed the valve but says it pops alot at higher rpm.

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

So your new flathead is the black one in the corner?
Don't keep us guessing, 'cat!

 

[Dingocat]

Yes. Black one. Has the airfilter/intake that I need. The muffler is toast. End piece falls off.

Got a new tube put in. These tires look awesome
