Not sure if your Dingo is a model 285 or 286 but the manual (and parts lists) in PDF form is most likely here:

Then there's a lot of other ones that look like Dingos but are not, apparently, in the 300 series and up, further confusing the issue.

Manco was good about that....changing model numbers or even names for the slightest difference....(2 exactly same karts with totally different names, just different color karts.)

I think you're going to have to be careful with gearing....otherwise...no red flags...but honestly....I just gave it a quick glance.

That tire will not fit that rim, if I read correctly. 6" tire with a rim for an 8" tire. You need to get an 8" rim. If your Dingo is anything like my Yerf Dog, you won't be able to use the exact same wheels front and back. The rears ride on a 3/4 axle, and the fronts on a 5/8 spindle.

When I got it one was 1" and the other was 1 1/8 ". Now they are both 15/16" lock nuts.

Yes the tire will fit .The first rim and tire combo is for the front and the 8" tires are for the rear . I will be using the existing rims they are 8".
A little update. Still having trouble with the brakes . And need better bearings in the jack shaft . the bearings I got from BMI are junk . It could also be my fault .I bought the same bearings that I took out . My motor also cuts out when running . hoping a new fuel pump will take care of that .

I agree, it looks good. This was basically a restoration as you did not seem to really alter anything or add any goofball add-ons. Bravo, you did an old, forgotten, neglected kart some very good justice!
Why did you replace the axle (since it appeared to come with one already)? Too far gone?

Not sure (no photos), but since you replaced the original TC for a new one I'd still keep the old for another project assuming of course that it is not rusted completely through in places (holed).

Can't buy it?, build it!
Nice clean up on the dingo. Recently found picture of me on one similar to yours. I posted it on my build log http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showpost.php?p=428628&postcount=48
