. I'd say look for something you can adapt to fit but that is a fairly complex vehicle. If you really wanted to give your grands a taste of your youth I'd recommend a more regular, conventional kart that is easier to fix. Something like a Yerf-Dog, Murray Explorer, Manco Dingo or any similar variations on the theme with full suspension. One kart for each!
The broken part is the 10326-16, which corresponds to the right side looking from the rear. From what I’ve dug up, the parts are also American Landmaster Axle Shaft, Dana - 012SR140-2 Which is equivalent to 2-20862. Hammerhead, Landmaster, and Go karts R Us all list the part, but don’t have any. I could use some more Gewgle-fu skills myself!Oh man, good to see an old Deuce. Those were a cut above the rest of the regular "karts" but it really is an early UTV/ATV.. I don't recall seeing too many of those around, like here on the forum, so maybe it is a big deal. A fairly rare bird to me anyway.
Good luck on the parts, man
For reference, what are you looking for, is it:
10326-16 AXLE WELD 24.789 LG DANA
10327-16 AXLE WELD 23.539 LG DANA
...or something else? We got guys with good Gewgle-Fu skills
Yep, I’ve started looking into that option. It sure would be nice to just replace the axle, but that’s not looking like an option!
Here are a few more pics of it. You can kind of see where the pieces fit together. Have you had any success getting a broken shaft welded back together?
Yep, broke at the bearing. The previous owner broke it while trying to jump over a ditch, as I understood the story. He was quite heavy, and apparently was going pretty fast
. It sounded like fun while it lasted.
I‘m almost positive the diameter is 1”, but I haven’t put a micrometer on it yet (mainly because I can’t find it!). I might have to try getting one machined, that’s probably easier than replacing the differential.
But this is a go-kart site not a colonoscopy site. So let’s forget about that. I’ve never seen replacement axles for the peerless axle anywhere. You’re probably going to have to adapt something else.
