What Kart is this?

Hi everyone, my 5 year old nephew inspired me to get into the go kart scene so over the last several months I have bought, repaired, and resold 4 or 5 go karts. Most of them needed some basic stuff like clutches, torque convertors/belts, or carb work to get going. I buy them, fix them and resell them for a small profit. The problem with all of the other karts I have had so far are they are much to big for a 5 year old to play with.
Then about a week or two ago I came across a small 2 seater that is in pretty good shape and really didn't need much to fix. I cleaned it up nice and pretty, then found the clutch was pretty sloppy so I got one from Amazon and slapped on it and rode it around a little bit yesterday. The 5hp Tecumseh hauled my 220 pound butt around pretty good so after a little wheel time my nephew will have his kart he has wanted for so long.
There are still a few items I want to address on the kart and so far I have been pretty good at sourcing items I need for other projects but I think if I knew exactly what kart I have it would make things a bit easier to find, so without further ado can you fine folks tell me what the make and model of this kart is?
Like I said earlier, it has a Tecumseh ohh50 hp motor and a dead axle.

It rings a bell....... Definitely a Manco of some sort. I want to say it's either a Silver Fox or a Red Fox, possibly with a "II" on the end.
Someone will chime in soon.

Manco is correct :D

since all silver foxes were silver and all red foxes red (guess what colour black foxes had;))..
that's not actually too difficult to rule one out ;)

Also it's neither since it's clearly a Model 415B (or D)
and that'd make it _IF_ either a FOX II or a CritterII
but since there's no decal left it's not even that any longer but a plain old 415B /D

well that is unless someone swaps the engine to a 6horse,
that'd then render it a 416B/D (last number is the engines hp)
in which case it might become a Rambler II...
but the names are nothing but a decal or two, and shared amongst various models
so as telling as the colour.

if you need information stick with the model number instead.

Thanks, after some research on the web I had concluded its a Critter II, but I wasn't aware of the Fox II model until reading Itsid's reply above. But it seems like the only difference is some decals so... yeah.
