Dingo?

[qtband]

I thought this was a dingo cart but the three holes next to the seat are throwing me off. Can someone ID this cart for me?

I believe that is a Manco Dingo 285

This came up with a quick Googlein'

That picture is like mine, but when I Google the 285, it doesn't have the 3 holes???

IDK
I just Googled Manco Dingo 285
...& then, clicked on images
...& found lots of Dingo's with the (3) circles
&
This is the Dingo 285 that I used to have

* Maybe Hellion can help
...he's pretty good at this kinda stuff

Looks like a Dingo 285 to me. There were revisions through the years. With and without the lightening holes.

Google is horrible and whatever go karts you do find on the interwebz are often not representative of every single Dingo variant. Best thing is to look at all the parts manual PDFs by model number and find yours.

Anyway, great find. Probably the single most versatile kart Manco ever did. Take the cage off, add smaller wheels and you have an American Express model 225 or a Rupp Dart Kart clone from the 1960s.

Thanks for the info. I got this kart for free!
