A literal bucket seat.

No officer, it's not a Go-Kart. it's just a hand truck.

This is the kind of video I miss seeing on YouTube. Unpolished, funny, and a true DIY build💪🏻

When you're sitting SIX inches over the road 35 mph is booking.

ah yes the classic fumble of replacing 2 parts that are expensive only to find out it was user error. been there done that.

When I was a kid back in the '60s, I built a go-kart out of a Radio Flyer wagon and a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine. It worked great and could reach a top speed of 11 mph.

as a person living in kilometer nation i thought you were gonna make a go-kart out of parts you would find at your local harbor, not a hardware store

I'm glad you took it to someone who knows how to weld. I was thinking you were going to end up looking like a cartoon character with all four wheels flying off at the same time.

If you have a "Tractor Supply" in your area, bolts are sold by the pound. Real savings on hardware. They also carry pulleys and other stuff. Wander thru when you get a chance.

Glad you had the welds redone. I was scared on the test run 😂

The POV shots are gold. Some channels are missing that human factor of project building. These made me feel like i was part of the tomfoolery every step of the way

Time to learn proper welding! But you know what they say: there is no beautiful or ugly welds, only those that hold or don't hold

That thing looks amazing. Your engineering skills are off the charts.

My dad raced go karts in the late 50s/early 60s. He stopped when the guys got too serious. The hot setup was dual Mc Culloch chain saw motors.

Your welds are far to cold. you need to turn up your welder or get a better one, but great build anyways!

0:48 glad I was able to be some inspiration!

PLEASE do a build breakdown! I’ve been looking to build this exact kart! It came out so good!

Lmao, I feel like this is more “I built a go kart with some parts from harbor freight” but I still love the vid.

I genuinley squeal and start jumping when Mid Modifications posts a new video. This Go-Kart is too cool, the bucket seat is the smartest and coolest idea ever.

The Tractor Jack at HF, the vertical bar in it, makes an excellent transmission mount for an LS Chevy engine and tranny in a Mustang, very thin, 1 inch, but strong, and lots of holes in it already. Cheaper than custom ones on inet.
