I am in need of rear wheels for a dingo 285. I believe they are 8" hex rims. I could use a set of tires too but only if the price is right.

I also need a steering wheel, brake pads and ideas for headlights/spot lights and a fuel tank. Either a stock tank for a grayhound 6.5hp or one I can mount higher up on the back roll cage.

I'm located in greenwood Arkansas but can pay for shipping. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks guys!

Caphawk,

I have a dingo 285, and i dont think that that particular model came with hex rims?, but you may be off on the model number? The hex axles I have seen usually have threaded circular ends. They need hex Hubs on them, which are secured by a large nut on the circular end. The hub typically has a 4x4 bolt pattern to fit an 8" steel rim.... post pictures if you can?

18" knobby offroad tires that fit 8" rims $80 shipped

Steering wheel: the part number is 6038, it is obsolete, you can, however, look for a steering wheel here:

Brake pads (assuming disc brakes? not brake band?)

These are like the universal mechanical disc brake pads

Headlight/spotlight ideas:
walmart actually has some smaller/nice LED fog/offroad lights in the automotive section, which can be wired up to a 12v battery (lawnmower size battery, or automotive) You will have to charge the battery on your own though unless u buy a special kit for the greyhound engine so it will put out 12v when running. Im clueless on that

this place has a nice light thought not led, cheap

what you need to do for the greyhound tank is download the manual and scroll to the end where there is a parts breakdown.

call harbor freight and ask for their parts department, reference the engine model number (should be a sticker on the engine shroud somewhere with that info, the manual probably has it too if it looks the same as yours). I ordered parts a few years ago for a kart that had a 6.5 hp greyhound engine on it and I think that the tank cost like $14 or something like that, came all the way from china though.

What a great reply! Thank you verymuch !

The rim part number is 3552. I have a bent rim and can't get the wheel off. I figured I'd order a rim or rims then go to a tire shop prepared.

There are no bolts on the rim. Just one big nut. I don't believe its hexed, not sure why I typed that.

It will look a little different than the manco one, but it is the same "size" bmikarts.com is a pretty good alternative to buying used stuff because they are relatively cheap.

good luck! (sorry about your steering wheel, you could probably weld or have someone weld a small flange on it with a 3 bolt circle (1 1/2" between bolts i believe) and bolt one of those three bolt steering wheels onto it.

The tire shop is a good idea. See if they will do it for free. (it takes literally 1 or 2 minutes to do with their machine, that includes the time you spend at the counter).

Thank you! How could I pull the wheel myself?

The steering wheel isn't broke or stuck, I was talking about the rim. The steering wheel is just sun faded bad.

*Disclaimer* I just googled this, i dont know if it will ruin your steerign wheel or not. All my wheels are faded. There are also commercial products out there that restore faded plastics. My only concern with a steering wheel is, will it be less grippy or sticky if i do this? I dont know the answer to it, so thats kind of why I left it alone.

Marshmallow, can you send me pictures of the parts your looking to sell and the prices of each item? Mostly needing steering wheel and brakes.
