Greetings all,

Kept running into this forum during my many Google image searches so figured I had better register as you all have good pics. Getting back into karts after a long hiatus. My experience with karts extends basically to fun park visits and a short period later in my teens where my brother and I shared a one seater go-kart that was given to us by our brother in law. The kart was orange with a yellow, white and orange seat. Later found out here that it was a Sears Orange Krate! My hapless brother later took it to his house to add a better motor and tinker with it, left it out in his yard one day and wondered why it wasn't there the next morning. :mad: I guess people thought it was a freebie...

Now I have my first purchase, a yellow engineless Dingo that's in pretty good shape and am looking to get it rolling again. Knowing that the earlier kart was basically an Manco kart in disguise, I sought another one based on my familiarity with it. That's about it. :arf:

Thank you, thank you for the warm welcome.

In the photo you'll notice that the kart's roll cage is missing the front plate, so the cage sort of hovers in the front and rubs on the tie rods. It's removed now and I'm likely going to dispose of it (sell it, give it away). Or should I hold on to it should I ever sell the kart on down the road? Front plate could be fabricated from sheet steel...
