What hub do I need as a drive wheel on a Manco cart?

[4Birdman]

I am in the process of rebuilding this old Manco cart and need to put a sprocket on it to drive the rear wheel.

It isn't a live axle, so I need the sprocket attached to one of the wheels.

What hub do I need to make this work? Is this the correct one?

I'm going to pick up my engine from storage today, 7hp Kohler. I'll get the model number and all when I'm there. It is probably 25 years old, but came out of a wrecked racing cart when I was a kid. I'm going to rebuild it and hop it up a bit if I can find the parts.

as you have no pic up on which kind of wheel, i would say buy a wheel that is the same size as you have now, but with the spacer you linked installed. i had a manco 713, aluminum rims w/ 3 bolt sprocket. almost no one makes a 3 bolt sprocket. i want to say split rims are better, but they sometimes suck worse.

Gotcha, that's what I needed to know. I have some Northern Tool $10 specials on there now. They are a 4-bolt pattern that will work with that hub.

those 'specials' probably won't hold up. just letting you know.

Yep, but considering my budget they'll hold up just fine.
