TonyToro Jr. 1,436 #1 Posted February 13, 2022 My dad and I got a new project on our hands! It’s a 1961 brookbil GoKart. going to make a wheel horse themed GoKart. Also Going to bring it to Zargays Farm and Tractor show in the spring. Got it with a B-80 and a whole bunch of other tires, and miscellaneous parts for wheel horse. Going to just get the parts but the guy talked us in to taking it off his hands. My dad didn’t really want it but then we got this idea and now we’re all into it! Maybe I’ll post a picture when it’s all done…… But you have to WAIT!!! BE PATIENT! 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyToro 1,049 #6 Posted March 30, 2022 Here’s proof TonyToro Jr. really has a project and working in it. 😂👍 I’ve seen he hasn’t updated and I don’t want to spoil his surprise to the club. We worked on it almost every night since this post started. 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyToro Jr. 1,436 #8 Posted April 10, 2022 WE’RE DONE!! We starting on February 12th and finished it on March 22nd We put a Predator 212 on it and it rips! Does at last 35mph. And gonna add some Wheel Horse stickers to it soon. I just can’t figure out a name for it any ideas? We took the rims and hubs off a Wheel Horse Commando V8. Then we ordered a 1inch axle and a Mechanical Disc brake. Also we added a Harley Davidson steering linkage. We painted it Regal Red and the tires are gold. The engine is stock for now but we are going to put a Stage one kit in it to make it better. IMG_0407.MOV IMG_0406.MOV 5 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meh... from an engine building standpoint... I wouldn't buy that. It still has a cast rod, carbon crankshaft, stock cam, and stock valve springs (not to mention... it is a hemi ...PUKE)... I've... ehem... (throat clearing)... wasted a lot of money on engines... and if you want a little head-start from my experience @TonyToro ...you would be much better investing in a Tillotson 212R... and buying a forged rod for it...

Those videos were only testing…it wasn’t dialed in for max speed yet but I do agree. Safety is number one! if that was me at that age…never a helmet….we just didn’t know any better. 😂 I like the name too! 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don I didn’t know the specifics of the engine. It just sounds like a built engine as they compared to the Animal from Briggs. Thank you for the extra information. I’ll also look at the Tillotson. I’ve seen those starting to be popular purchases in gopowersports. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
