Does this look like a good deal?

Yeah if you're building for your kids or grandkids or the neighbor's kids! With a 5/8" axle it isn't going to take much abuse with a full grown male riding it.

Rocky, I think that is a 5/8 steering shaft and the frt spindels are 5/8 as well. The rear bearings and cassets are 1 1/4 inch, you have to buy the kart axle separate.
The brake set up looks like ones others use on ther SP and FX builds.?

I might be wrong, I had to do a double take as well.  :lol:

So is it snowing up by you guys yet??? I bet it's dang cold atleast!
Take care,

Yep! You guys are right... clicked on the bigger picture link and scrolled up so blew right by the top parts list and was simply down there looking at kit includes 5/8" shaft. My apologies Stumper.

Not a bad price, most of the kits I've seen of that nature are a little higher than that on 1" axle, but most I've seen included the axle. Time you get your axle figured into that price, you're going to be about the same money.


No word on the twins... I've been too busy to get down there and see what he's up too here lately. And, just hauled in a truck load of mowers to tear apart, so I'm going to be busy a while longer yet!

No snow yet! Thank God!! Been raining plenty, which is a definite improvement over snow. Rain runs off, you don't have to shovel it! Has been getting a little cooler, 28 in Bismarck this morning. High was only in the low 50s, with wind and rain most of the day.

yeah your right, rain over snow any day! I would say try and stay warm but it looks like you will have plenty mowers to tea into to keep the blood moving :D
Nice score on all the mowers by the way!
