Got some parts tonight

[chancer]

So Found this on Craigs list, Post For:
4 Dirt tires with Aluminum Rims
2 rear hubs
2 front hubs
2 Axle bearings with 3 hole flange
2 bearing hangars
2 front spindles with tie rods
and a 1" by 30" Axle

All for $175.00 We agreed on $150
I get down there to pick the stuff up and the guy says,
Oh I have some other parts too...
He threw in a Brake rotor and a Nice aluminum Sprocket Hub.
Cool right.
Then he says oh and hold on... He comes around from the garage with a Home made frame. Its decent but he(( it was free.

So I am a very happy camper. All used parts but it would have cost me over $250 bucks to buy all the parts new. Plus like $300 for the wheels and tires.

How about a pic or two?

Parts pics:
I still need to get the Frame pics off the phone into the laptop.
I am not at all impressed with the frame. I will probably post it on Craigs list for 40 bucks. Theres always "That One Guy"

 

[chancer]

Frame

Free Frame. I think the back Chrome bumper was the handle off a Shopping kart Why! Also weird angle on the Steering upright mount. Not too sure what they had in mind.

 

[Ryafor]

No offence but there's a face only a mother could love....... no not mother either. Nice score tho

 

[chancer]

Oops how did Oboypay Artmankay get in there.

Anyway upon further inspection. The frame is a total hunk of scrapmetal.
I think it is 95% shopping Cart. It is totally sectioned together with butt welds and the biggest Ugliest welds you can imagine.

I dont think it would be moral to even sell it on Craigs list. Someone could get hurt.

 

[Ryafor]

Lol igpa atenla?

Shopping kart you sat? I know a guy that fixes them. His names bubbles. Well I don't know him but have met him. **** it's so small here he's probably my neighbor

 

[chancer]

Really? Bubbles. That funny!

 

[itsid]

negative caster...

[chancer]

So in Axle I got, The key way is not continuous, It just hast 1" keyed ends and 2 4" keyways in the middle. There are grooves that are in machined into these areas.
Are these grooves for Snap rings?

Trailer Park Boys! Keep up!

Trailer Park Boys! Keep up!

Oh Yeah... Duh, and half of that was my joke.

 

[Ryafor]

Lol. Dam I keep seeing karts posted on Facebook groups bur I'm poor There's one posted now near me and it's even the same color I wanted to pain mine. I think it may be sold idk. Wish I didn't go buy my brake kit now cause I could bought a whole kart that came with an extra 5hp Honda engine. One guy said he'd buy it and pick it up tomorrow. Then the same guy that said that commented that it was sppu But the guy selling it didn't say that so who knows. Again tho I'm poor so I can't buy it altho I offered a **** of a trade for a go kart. I offered to trade my car. The car's not nothing fancy. It's a 2001 grand am but it's only got 2 small rust spots. 4 cylinder 4 door with 143000 km. Needs a battery and probably brakes from sitting but I just put new struts and front bearings in it 2 maybe 3 weeks before I parked it. Guy could probably get 2 grand for the car. Motor is clean enough to eat off of

 

[chancer]

When I texted the guy for these parts, He said he had a full price offer from a Guy In Ranch Cucamonga, if he would hold the parts till Saturday.

I told him "Forget Rancho CoocooMonkey I am local and have Cash today".

 

[Ryafor]

Cash is king. Unfortunately I'm still paying back the Mrs for the parts I ordered with her credit card. I really wanted that **** kart. There's a sweet Baja bug but I want a kart not a bike.

Where the **** is poboy? Shouldn't his holiday be just about up? I'm so bored I may just fiddle with my karts brakes even tho the bolts I have are too short and my brake rod is too long.

 

[chancer]

I think Tomorrow? But Rumor has it he will be resurrected on Sunday!

"Dear God, please forgive me and my blasphemous ways"

 

[Ryafor]

Do you think he got tanned on his vacation?

 

[chancer]

No, I heard he was almost taken out by a Toronado, Hail storms, Rain and Wind.
Tan? No. Wet? probably.
