Good Morning George! Thanks for sharing this video, I enjoy them all!!! But my almost 3 year old Josiah really loves the Goofy Cart!!! Blessings to you all!!!
I'm sure you're a very nice person but wow that video was excruciating to watch. It took forever to back it out of the shed and then you couldn't get it to move across the yard after struggling mightily just to get in it. And I'm 63 with a store bought hip and knee with 5 vertebrae fused. It either quit or was spinning for goodness sakes.
Yea the Goofy kart is running. I'M so happy for you finally success. I was afraid it might be geared a little to low when I saw it on the bench and the speed of the rear tires but the should be an easy fix. Have a great day George!!
You need to put some positive traction on that both wheels in the back need to spin. Then you can drive in the grass and stone a lot easier without spinning.
I built it with both wheels driving originally, but it scuffs too much going around corners with the big tires on the back. What I would like to have is a limited slip rear axle, but they are very expensive. Thanks for stopping by
George, it’s hard for us older fellars to bend like that anymore, ain’t it? lol! I talked about watching you get in that thing. Shoot I could probably get in it, it’ll be getting out that’ll be the problem, and if I did get out I’d be stoved up for a while! Hey but daggone that rascal is cool though! Oh heck yeah, I’d call that a win, right?
I'm not worried about traction and I got rid of the live axle because it was scuffing too much on turns. Remember, this has 15" wheel/tires on the back and not little 8" slicks. It's more fun to spin the tires anyway and that's only on the dirt. Thanks for stopping by.
It had a life axle originally, but scuffed too much on corners because of the large wheels and tires on the back. Leg room? This is a go kart, legroom is not an option, LOL. Thanks for stopping by
Yeah, it's smoother operation now without the locked/live rear axle scuffing on corners. It is different than a normal go cart with little tiny wheels and tires on it. Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for the opposed twin engine debut coming soon. Dual carbs, dual exhaust, twice as many hp and hopefully double the fun!
Looks good George. Great job on the Goofy Cart. Have you considered adding a bumper to the front, to protect it, in case anyone crashes or bumps into anything ?
Definitely too low for off road use. It used to have a locked rear axle, but with the large wheel/tires in the back it scuffed too much. It's fun to be able to spin the tire now, eh? Thanks
Well, you need to get up to date. I have put a twin cylinder, 18hp engine in it with dual carburetors, dual exhaust, modified timing and more! I originally had a live axle in the Goofy Cart, but with the large rear wheels it was hard to turn because the wheels/tires would scuff in the back. I split the axle and it works much better. It still won't spin the tires on tar. Thanks for stopping by. Check out my latest drive video here: th-cam.com/video/LutJxfFKww0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MhM5Vy5pXoroWrQZ Thanks for stopping by
I built it with my grandson's dimensions originally, when he was 10 years old...but...he grew up! The dimensions are great without anyone sitting in it, LOL. Thanks for stopping by
I am considering doing that, which is the same thing as a torque converter setup for go karts. I am also looking at upgrading the engine to a 23hp V-twin engine and eliminating the transmission and right angle gear box setup altogether. I'm not sure I'd want to drive this at 60mph... we'll see! Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for more updates soon.
Needs a posi it that beast.. very cool.. as we get older, we are loosing the minds of people like this do to just time.... dont make em like this anymore... reminds me of my grampa doin his shriner thing in Cinci. #🤤
It has posi originally, but because of the large rear wheels/tires it would scuff too much, so I isolated each side and now it turns much better. Thanks for taking a look.
It originally had posi, but due to the big wheels/tires on the back it would scuff too much going around corners, so I split the rear axle and now it turns much more smoothly. Thanks
We haven't ever had it up to full speed yet, but you are right, it isn't very fast, but hold on to your hat, because I am now installing an 18hp opposed twin engine with dual carbs and dual exhaust! Thanks for stopping by.
I'm heavy enough, thanks. LOL It no longer has a live axle by design, since it was very hard to turn with the large rear wheels/tires. It handles pretty well now and it's fun to be able to spin the tires, even if it is only in the dirt. Check out the latest video to see the speed we achieved. Thanks for stopping by
Failure? In what way and by what standard? What are you comparing it too? It is a work in progress and a proof of engineering. I have built it the way it is using what I have had available, and demonstrating the possibilities of doing things without expensive equipment. Please share with me why you think the engineering is a failure? I'd be curious to know. Have you built one that works better, using all the same components? Even "professionally built" cars break, so that can't be a criteria, can it? Thanks for your input. Please do share why you think it is a failure.
It works just fine on the tarmac which is where it belongs. I used to have a locked rear axle but it scuffed on corners too much with the large rear wheel/tire setup, besides, it's fun to spin the tire! Thanks Mike
It originally had posi-traction and cut the rear axle. With the large rear wheels and tires it would scuff really hard and make it difficult to turn. Besides, it's more fun when you can spin the tires! LOL
@TheShadeTreeFixitMan Oh, ok, you're right, it dose add more fun factor. That is one of the coolest home builds I've seen!! I hope you get to do parades and car shows, because everyone will love it👏👍
One wheel Drive !! Mmm May want to rethink your rear end drive (((( problem )) Think about a life axle with a C.T clutch assembly !! It will work much better than what you have !
I originally had a live axle, but with the big tires it was scuffing too much while trying to turn. It works much better this way. Thanks for stopping by.
Hello George,
Congratulations... Great to see the Goofy cart in action...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thank you Paul
Congratulations Bud!! I'd call that a success!!☺
Absolutely. I tell yha I been watching him for so long on that. Great to see him enjoying it some finally.
Thanks so much EJ
Thanks Cal, it ain't over yet!
Now that’s ingenuity and the best looking wheelbarrow I’ve ever seen.
Thank you. Please stay tuned for the next iteration complete with dual carbureted, opposed twin engine. Soon to be road tested.
that's freaking awesome to see you finally enjoying it after the build... so happy for you that's one sweet ride my friend love it
Thanks so much
Congrats George. It's been a log time coming, and I'm sure your grandson will be thrilled.
It sure has been a long time. Thanks for following along
I think you almost have it George. Congratulations !! It's good to see you smiling.
Thank you Duke
Oh man George , That looks great ! You have worked hard on it .. ENJOYED !!
Thank you Shawn
Good Morning George! Thanks for sharing this video, I enjoy them all!!! But my almost 3 year old Josiah really loves the Goofy Cart!!! Blessings to you all!!!
Thanks so much and a big hellow to Josiah!
way to go george ,glad to see those smiles ,goofy looks good under his own power
Thank you so much

And I'm 63 with a store bought hip and knee with 5 vertebrae fused. It either quit or was spinning for goodness sakes.
Well, I'm 75 years old and I'm not quitting yet. Stay tuned for a new update, with massive improvements. Thanks
Good job George! I've been waiting for years to watch you drive it. Congratulations!!!
Thanks for following along and your patience.
So cool to see her back on the road, :)
Thank you Tom
WhooHoo! Congrats George; long time coming!
Thank you Matt, there is still more to come.
Awesome George , looks and sounds great . Yeehaw I think is appropriate 👀👀👍👍
LOL thanks Shawn
Wooo hooo! Andrew was having a blast
He sure was. Thanks for stopping by
Looks totally awesome
Thanks so much
Woo Hoo chain stayed on the working great! Congratulations George!
Thanks so much Rich, more to come.
She is as close to perfect as she has ever been !!!!
But still shy of the ultimate goal to make it reliable. Thanks Mike
Yea the Goofy kart is running. I'M so happy for you finally success. I was afraid it might be geared a little to low when I saw it on the bench and the speed of the rear tires but the should be an easy fix. Have a great day George!!
Thank you Bob, I think I finally have the gearing about right, now to get the right setup on some other parts.
them some real good apples George, Great job and hope to see more of the Goofy cart
Your wish is my command. Thanks so much
Our hero and his amazing machine making thousands of us proud
Awesome job !!!!!
LOL Thanks Fred The V10 logo is leading the way!
Well, it doesn't look like it'd be comfortable for a long road trip, but it sure is COOL!!
Long trips aren't planned for sure...LOL Thanks Luke
Great first run, it looks and sounds perfect
Thanks so much
George, need a little more oil on the joints so you can get in the cart easier ;) . Looking, great sir.
LOL, it will take more than oil on these old joints now. Thanks so much
I'm proud of you. you made it it's cool.
Thank you kindly
great work George . Time to hit up all the local parades
.
I missed a local car show that I wasn't aware of. Maybe next year? Thanks
Now thats a one of a kind , and i love it .
Thank you for the kind comment. Stay tuned for the updated engine road tests.
Looks like a blast.
It sure was and should be even more fun with the new motor installed. Thanks
Keep videoing. I'll keep watching and liking
Lovely! ❤
Thank you so much. Stay tuned for the upgraded Goofy Cart with twin cylinder, dual carbs, dual exhaust and more!
Wow you have been on that car for so many years. It’s so good to see you on it. I think the rear drive chain needs a tension on it. It’s the coolest
Still modifications to be made, but glad to have it go this much. Thanks Calvin

Thank you so much Doug
@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan - yes sir you’re mighty welcomed George!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much
Puts me in mind of a dog on a polished tile floor!
At least it doesn't sprawl!
But you still don't have any traction!
Great for burnouts though!

@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan yeah sometimes I forget that drifting donuts is more fun than going fast!
The expression drive it like you stole it comes to mind I think that'll get that thing moving real good
I'm back at it, making more modifications and improvements (hopefully...) Thanks for stopping by,
Awesome 😎👍🇺🇸
Thanks so much and stay tuned for the next update!
Too cool!😎👍
Thank you
Looks really cool but you need more leg room and drive chain to both wheels
It had a life axle originally, but scuffed too much on corners because of the large wheels and tires on the back. Leg room? This is a go kart, legroom is not an option, LOL. Thanks for stopping by
Cool build, looks like a good time. 👍🏻
Soon to be back on wheels again with the new opposed twin B&S motor. Stay tuned!
this video make me soooooooooo happy!!! :)
You and me both. Thanks Ken
Man I had a big grin 😀
👍FINS UP 👍
You and me both! Thanks Eric
She’s a beauty! That’s awesome! Nothing like success! Build a trailer and head town for groceries. 😂
LOL, I don't think the police would appreciate me going to town...Thanks Stoney
That's so cool
Thank you kindly Richard. Kinda like a miniature of your rat rod, eh?
@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan Yea it is. Looks like a lot of fun..
that is soooooo cool
Thanks so much. Stay tuned for the upgraded Goofy Cart with twin cylinder, dual carbs, dual exhaust and more!
Goodtimes right there. Glad to see it out and about the place.
Thank you Lloyd
Awesome. The Goofy cart is "ALIVE". LOL
Thanks so much Rick.
One wheel peel? Lol

Looks good George. Great job on the Goofy Cart. Have you considered adding a bumper to the front, to protect it, in case anyone crashes or bumps into anything ?
Well, bumpers aren't planned presently, but... thanks for stopping by
Now you got a mass produce them. 🤔😂😂
At the rate I build I could never get them ready to sell, LOL. Thanks for the encouragement.
NOT THA SHARPEST KNIVES IN THA DRAW
But we have one and you don't, so who's the sharpest? Thanks for stopping by anyway.
Looks cool but you might need 4-wheel drive it's not very good off-road😂
Definitely too low for off road use. It used to have a locked rear axle, but with the large wheel/tires in the back it scuffed too much. It's fun to be able to spin the tire now, eh? Thanks
All sorted!
Sorta sorted is more like it. Thanks Terry
Need to put a Pozzi rear end in it and a bigger motor!
Well, you need to get up to date. I have put a twin cylinder, 18hp engine in it with dual carburetors, dual exhaust, modified timing and more!

A hint, add some weight to the rear 😎👍
What and lose the ability to spin the tires on the dirt? LOL
@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan 😎👍
Hey that ooga horn sounds familiar!!😉😉
LOL, it sure does doesn't it? It fits perfectly with the Goofy Cart don't you think? Thanks so much
Woah, woah, woah, keep going!
WTF?!?
We be going even faster now with the new twin cylinder engine with dual carburetors and dual exhaust! Stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by.
Great build! Wondering why you didn't make it a little longer for more legroom?
I built it with my grandson's dimensions originally, when he was 10 years old...but...he grew up! The dimensions are great without anyone sitting in it, LOL. Thanks for stopping by
@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan I understand. You're welcome.
Good to see goofy going congrats on getting the goofy kart fixed and going or do you still have to work on the goofy kart some more
I agree Mason!
Both! We continue to update it and will as things progress. See the latest uploads. Thanks
Thanks so much
Pretty cool , moved up from , how do i get to the end of the drive and back , to how do we get more top speed . That`s progress Congratulations
cool!
Thanks Terry, now to make it more reliable
Thanks Ken
Good job a George! A little tweaking and you’ll be golden.
Tweaking is what I do the most it seems. Thanks Dave
Ol’ Reliable now.
Well...maybe...for now...Thanks M
I think he needs to make a pause
Thanks
thumbs up
Thank you Stu
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying some fun with us.
t-barrow
Yuppers. Thanks
If you do a snowmobile clutch system that thing will do about 60

Oh yeah! Thanks. Long time no see.
That "Thang" sure is t very fast, looks cool but not fast!

Drive to rear wheel is ‘kinda floppy, by the way!
Oh, you had to notice that didn't you? Shhhhhhh LOL Thanks for stopping by
Needs weight, in the back.
I'm heavy enough, thanks. LOL It no longer has a live axle by design, since it was very hard to turn with the large rear wheels/tires.

Quality construction and nice paint but a failure on the engineering.
Failure? In what way and by what standard? What are you comparing it too? It is a work in progress and a proof of engineering.

Um bring in anchor
LOL, I'll look for one to hang off the back, just in case. Thanks Don
The channel id rather be welding builds lots of buggies
I'm older though...Thanks Don
Real nice job maybe some All Tarain tires on rear😂❤
It works just fine on the tarmac which is where it belongs. I used to have a locked rear axle but it scuffed on corners too much with the large rear wheel/tire setup, besides, it's fun to spin the tire! Thanks Mike
