Hello everyone! Im new and could really use alittle help lol

[Garyquick]

Well i let the air out of the tire that is still on and the hub is deff in the middle of the rim.. Have u guys ever seen a go kart rim that wasnt a solid piece? Cause i can literally squeeze the rim so the holes line up on hub thats in the center but i still cant get it off cause the hubs in the center but the left one came off no problem.. Im really just thinking about getting new rims for this if i can get this one off cause i never seen anything like this. I searched in you tube and google about the go kart but came up empty?

I wish I had split rims. Mine are one piece and hard to get tires on without bending the bead.

 

[Garyquick]

Yea 1 is bent pretty bad so thinking of juat getting the 1 piece ones with the 1 hole instead of bolts

 

[Garyquick]

Can anyone tell me what these brackets are? I keep trying to find replacements cause these are heavily rusted but cant find any when i search axle brackets? Am i wording that wrong?

Not familiar with that set up so I don't know the nomenclature. Mine had a bearing hanger welded to the frame. Then flangettes, bolted to the bearing hanger, that were holding the bearing which the axle passed thru.

Did you ever mention the name/model of the kart? Did you search for replacement parts for your model?

That setup looks like the axle is in a tube with flanges for bearings at the ends. Those brackets are fine, just pull them, wire brush them, re-paint.

Now if i could just decide on what front tires to get! Lol i know im just gettin some floaters for the front since my rim is bent and other tire is also in bad shape and it didnt turn that well.. It was kind of hard to turn but i noticed i have 15x6.00-6 turf saver tires on the front but when i measured the tire on rim (inflated) it was only about 13.5" and im looking at these knobby tires on floater rims on go power sports but they say there 14.5 inches and im worried they wont fit because i have that side bar on my go kart? Im going to flip it back over and with tires and tey to measure to see if i could fit them on but any one have opions about which kind of front tires to get? Anf im just about done painting i just have to flip it over and paint the floor lol thanks guys and this is the bar i mean

Measure this (yellow) distance. If it is less than 7.25 inches, you will have clearance issues.

Well got the tires and they fit great.. Just waiting on the paint to dry and putting the roll cage back on after work then ill be putting the engine back on and measuring for a new belt for the torqe converter and a new #41 chain..hopeing the 15" jackshaft will be big enough lol should of probably got the 16" just to be sure but it should fit any advice about sizing up the belt and chain?
