I dissagree. The frame and seat are one piece vs the dingos where the seat is smaller diameter tube.Thats not a rupp dart its a simple dingo or american express the axle mounts the iver head bar and supports on the spindles tell all not a rupp i had one
I thought those were closer to the plates GPS is selling to fit 2 or 3 hole bearing hangers. Didn't look like the manco ones to me.yeah it's certainly NOT a Rupp I'm afraid..
indeed much closer to an AmEx (Manco 225)
the added rollbar trips me off a bit;
and the stiffening on the front axle beam doesn't look to be original either...
Aaaanyways, similar looking Rupps (what JT was likely refering to) like the ABone and such
have very distinct rear axle bearing hangers...
very unlike the simple plates Manco welded under their rails (as you see on your kart)

since the motor mount isn't where it ought to be on a 225 either...I thought those were closer to the plates GPS is selling to fit 2 or 3 hole bearing hangers. Didn't look like the manco ones to me.
you've been ripped off IYAM...i sold it for 350$ a week or two ago
they dont go for much in indiana 350$ is plenty of fun for mesince the motor mount isn't where it ought to be on a 225 either...
chances are it's been "redone"..
actually judging by the placement of the engine plate, chances are it's been the cheaped down dead axle version
(manco sold many cheaped down dead axle karts of their live-axle-models to sears for example... I don't recall the 225 being one of them, but who knows)
So yeah, could very well be a std weldon (azusa I think)
what I meant to say it they're clearly NOT Rupps
(here's the robron bearing hangers [true rupp clone] as a comparision in case one missed those on Budget's image above)
you've been ripped off IYAM...
