Daddy Gearhead BusDriver!
Hi guys,,, found this forum the other night, while looking for info on a cart, I just picked up for my 2 young sons.
$50 got me a Manco Fox II. 5hp Robin factory engine off, with clutch broke, bald tires, rusty chain, torn up bottom seat cushion, no brakes and dirty from sitting in shed for a few years.
With over 20 + years of autobody/frame repair work, and a crap load of tools, I think I've got in under control. Now I'm a school bus driver in my small town, and my son's both ride my bus. they are 6 and 9 and are eager for Dad to get this new cart rolling.
When we got it home, we power washed what was there to see what we had. I've removed the broken clutch, changed oil, drained float bowl, of some nasty crud, put fresh gas in it, and got that running on the garage floor. <--- Done
Ordered $93 worth of ebay listed parts. Clutch/chain, pair of new seatbelts, and a brake band. With these few items,, I should be in buisness and riding this weekend.
Eager to be helped,, and help others as well. I'm on a few other forums as well. Build my own computers, and fix all my own stuff. So If I can help others in those area's ,,, feel free to ask!!
