Cool wagon! I had to put my monitor on its side because it hurt my neck.

Are you going to leave it like it is or hot rod it?

I had this problem while using an Iphone and uploading to photobucket, I found if I take the picture with the phone sideways with the round button to the right then my pictures come out correct..

Hey guys, looking for a little feedback. My wife was working with her mother last weekend doing an estate sale and she found this pedal car. I told her to buy it and we'll figure out what to do with it. Probably going to sell it, but don't know anything about it. Can't seem to find any markings or company logos. Any help on what it's worth?

The front end and fold down windshield reminded me of a jeep, so a quick google search found this baby...

Thanks notes, I've never heard of Garton. I'll have to do some research on the value.

I went to an auction today and found almost perfect wheel tubs to use in my 1/2 scale truck bed wagon.

E-bay search "racing go kart tires" They weren't cheap but they should give me the look I am after

72BlckButy · 05-29-2013, 10:02 PM

I've been watching eBay but just haven't dropped the coin for a set yet.

What kind of axle/hubs are you running? I want to install a set of kart tires/wheels on my sons radio flyer wagon but with buying a set of hubs made for the kart wheels and then a set of wheels and tires on top of that it rolling stockers for a while.

Love it!

I used 5/8" bolts, they fit the bearings for the racing kart wheels. For the front I just welded a bolt to make a spindle. The rear I cut the hex off of the bolt and inserted it into a pipe then welded it to make an axle. Check out post 100 on page 4 but I can post detailed pics in a week or two.

If you are going to be using the factory chassis you can't use tires bigger than 10" in diameter otherwise they will run into the body. First you have to drill out the factory axle location to fit a 5/8ths hot rolled axle front and rear. Order some 5/8ths bearing hub assemblies. I get mine from BMI Karting just Google it. Make sure you get the studs that fit the wheels you buy. Cut your axles to length and have the ends threaded. You will have to use something to keep the axle centered so it doesn't. slide side to side. To do this I use 3/4" aluminum tubing. I cut it to fit tight between the hub and the chassis. Also do this between the axle mounts to cover the entire axle. After the aluminum is fitted take it back apart and polish it to a near chrome finish for looks.

Use all or none of the info above but it seems to be the easiest route when using factory components with custom mods.
