No one to tell you to pick up your toys because she's tired of stepping on them!

And no arguments about how she keeps carelessly breaking your toys!

Would you mind letting me know where you got your frontwheels and hubs?
I think I might want those too

They are good wheels and hubs. The only complaint is that the center caps fit funny, but with a little custom work they work like a charm now!!!!

I've been kicking around and idea of a T cart my self using a wall wheel barrel bucket for the body... making a fiber glass cowll and turtle deck from fiber glass as well... the turtle deck will fucntion as a means of hiding my B&S engine... or what ever other engin I go with maybe 90cc motorcycle??? IDK and building a FOUX ingine out of wood and fiber glass as well to look like a mean flat head v-8... I'm looking it it being about a 1:4 scale driveable replica any way hope this helps... if i find time I sketch my ideas out on ms paint and post them for you. now that I think of it after I finnish the my MUD BUGGY... I NEED TO DO THIS!!!!!!!

 

[DRUCIFER]

ever think of using those tall spoky push mower wheel or bike wheels to give it the authentic old school dragster look?

We thought about it for a while! But wanted the back wheels to match the front wheels! So, that why we went with the solid aluminum wheels!

 

[DRUCIFER]

your kart is looking good iceman... here are some crude drawings of what I had in mind for mine.



like I said as soon as mud buggy is done I starting this asap.

Some of the fastest mowers i have ever seen run a transaxle setup, and have simply had the pullies swapped from engine to axle, which should be fine on something as light as a t bucket, and the transaxle would be eaay to use sice its self contained and eaay to mount

 

[Cain3425]

And, added bonus, the v-twin would be easy to use sidepipe exhaust on. Which is a trademark of t-buckets

Saw this today. Not mine, but thought it was pretty cool.
