Go kart Frame identification

[Chimiritto]

So, I'm a bit new to go karts cause I inherited 2 from my father when he passed last month. He had a Go Kart frame that twists in the middle and was wondering if anyone could help me out with identifying it.

I will post pics when I get home from work.

Good, my crystal ball is in the fritz again.

Denny -- you didn't ask Santa for a new one? Now you have to wait another year and that is 363 days of being good. i don't think you are going to make it so you best fix the old one. Happy New Year.

Jim, Santa hasn’t stopped by here for years. Infact he has a no contact order in place for himself!!!

My dog did get me a birthday and Christmas presents this year. It was poop both times.
Happy New Year Jim!

Poop was the best he could do. He does not have opposable thumbs. Be grateful for the little things.

I would have been happier with no poop, that’s what I really wanted.

I think a stopped up pup would be a poor gift.

Best pic i could get cause it's dark and raining

 

[Denny]

I have no idea.

looks like something Dr. Seuss would dream up.
Anyways never seen anything like it before.
If it were mine, I would set it on flat ground and weld er up straight.

Wow that looks like a wild ride! I also have never seen anything like it. Maybe weld a few parts back into place (or on haha) and youll have an ok little kart. Also id get a new seat or some padding

 

[Denny]

I’m thinking Murray may have had a design like that in the late 50s or early 60s. Maybe sold through Montgomery Wards? But I’m probably wrong.

 

[JimD]

I asked a guy in Ireland that has every karting magazine ever published to look it up and see if he can put a name to the kart.

 

[Rusty Wheel]

Denny might be right. I was thinking Murray myself but could not find such an example. The front steering rod ends look like mid 80's riding mower components Murray used to me. Just my observation on it.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

So the frame is like two parts that swivel on that central tube? Wild stuff.

 

[JimD]

Looks like a name might be on the pedals. Closer picture of those would help.

Reminds me of the willock swivel frame.

Better pictures and more of them. Better pictures and more of them. Closeup photos of some of the components might help.

Make sure you didn't miss a name, serial number, sticker or plaque anywhere on the kart that may ID it. You might have to turn it over and get on your hands and knees with a flashlight to really see.

Let's see photos of those pedals.

I checked all underneath the kart and the pedals, pedals had nothing identifying on them, only thing I found was this sticker on the back of the seat
