Change the back tires to a turf saver style.

Your gonna burn up that $400 quickly.

Also stick to your original post. It keeps things tidy for the mods....

Dude, it's a 6 hour drive. Each way. I live in Chicago Illinois. I posted that from Rockford Illinois Craigslist. It is going to cost you $100 in gas round trip.

And since I have no personal experience with one wheel peel karts... How do they do on grass? Good nuff? or is a live axle more or less a "requirement" for off road karts?

I live in Chicago Illinois.

Funny, I thought you lived in SouthSide UnTou-CHI-bullZ. =)

I now live in Idaho but my wife and I are from Indiana. I used to drive from Indiana to the Chicago farmer's market and sell produce back in '95.

Small world...

Not entirely sure it IS a one wheel peel in the first place..

looks like there's a three bolt flange on the right end of that tube...
makes me think of an axle bearing flange.... no?
then a hub that certainly looks to be keyed
(or say a hair too flimsy to contain ball bearings)

hmmm.. I wouldn't want to place any bets but this might be a tubed live axle kart.

Also that looks like it was a twin engine kart back before PO messed it up completely by adding a rear bumper.
And twin engine karts with a dead axle I have yet to see...
