Unveiling The Kids' Kart!!!

[Doc Sprocket]

At long last, I've finally managed to get this thing together! It's been a long time coming but it's done! Whew!

In the past, I've used a few build photos to illustrate ideas, but you folks really haven't seen this thing, but here it comes!

Tonight after work, we'll roll it out of the living room (Gawd, I do love my wife for putting up with me), shoot some pics, and fire it up. The kids are stoked!

The basics- A budget/scrap build that I have about $200CDN into. Scrap steel, parts from an old unknown lawn tractor, a motorcycle, and even an industrial ventilation fan!

Coming soon, stay tuned!

*tease*!

Yet the kid was selling it as a kart.

Looks like half of a mobile fruit stand

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Dang. There's no way it's as good as that wooden thing...

Dude, thats amazing! Where did the fan fit in?

Now that is JD green, everything on it's gonna be expensive as he//

 

[Gokarts4Life-11]

That's awesome toystory! How long would you say it took you to build?

 

[r97]

awesome job! That thing turned out great, simple, yet strong frame, awesome paint, and all put together in a very sleek and clean way.

any more pics of the drive line? is it just a jack shaft to a live axle, or have you somehow incorporated the lawn mower axle into there?

 

[Big Boy]

Holy SHEEET. That is superb..and thats an understatement. That looks like a legitimate john Deere product. Are those tractor tires?
