Go Kart!

A good buddy of mine gave me his old go kart that they have had family fun with for the past decade.  

I've been wanting a good project for my kids to get some mechanical experience with, and this is the perfect project.  It has lots of things the kids can learn on:  gears and sprockets and chains and linkages and frame welding.  

The kart has a few problems to fix.  Seat belts are held in place with field tile flags:

Chain fell off the sprocket:

Engine runs, but we'll go through it and make sure the preventative maintenance has been performed.  

All in all, it looks like a ton of fun to get the kids in the barn and have them work this go kart back to running condition.
