Well guys I am new to all this forum stuff but i like what I've read in the past and decided what the heck lets get on here and ask some ?'s and show off some rides. Last week I found a barn kept manco dingo deuce I have no idea of the model but it has electric start. I'll post pics of it as I got it and continue to show pics as progress is made. I just about got her down to bare metal I hoping to have the entire thing line x'ed with it trimmed out in red. I also have another kart I rebuilt idk the brand of it but the seat says yellow jacket it's got a 212 cc predater clone on it and she can boogie I'll post pics of it to. Well crap guess my iPhone won't let me upload pics so lets say they r coming soon.

Awesome find! from what I hear dingos are a very well designed and very good driving kart.
Yes it is very well built and hard as heck to get apart but that's do to the rust I've been fighting with the front control arms and can't get then budge I'm probly gonna resort to heat to get them off but they have these plastic bushing looking thing between the arm and the rod they r on so I guess I'll mets those but no fear I can make new ones

Have you tried rust buster? At the very least it should lube them so you can get them off.
Have you read the thread on uploading pics?

I've tried everything they haven't budged. I think probably what's happens is the metal is rusted so bad that it swelled and is actually putting pressure on the arm. Good news is I just got a call back from my local line x dealer and he told me the whole thing lined will only b about 200$ do I might be going that route if I can convince the wife lol

did you plug your iphone into the computer, go to my computer, click on the "iphone" picture or whatever comes up, look at pics and save those to your computer. Then try
Thats what I do with my ipod anyway. It worked for facebook might not for the forum.
The Dingo as I got it
Here are a few pics of the dingo when I got it and started stripping it. The photo with my foot in it is the control arm that I can't get off. It's rusted on.
There's the seats as I got them and now I have them in primer. Any suggestion on getting the control arm off would be greatly appreciated, if nobody has any ideas I'm firing up the torch! Lol

wow kinda complicated...
Over kill if u ask me but from the line of work I do I'm hoping that my theory of more reduction = more low end torque. I'm not looking for speed out of this one I'm looking for torque to use it around here in these woods. Plus I got my little speed demon. I'll post pics of it tomm. She's defiantly a keeper
Well I got the dingo knocked down and the rearend completely rebuilt and painted. I'm going with black line x on the frame and trimmed in a "stainless" tinted grey and bright red. The control arms came of just finei welded 1/2" key stock on them so I could put my pullers on and they came off pretty good. My only problem is I still can't figure out the ****g model number which I'd really like to have. Any suggestions guys? I'll post pics of how she's coming along soon
