When I was a kid rotary law mowers were a new thing and
that made discarded gas powered reel type mowers plentiful.
There were 5 of us building our own go carts. We would make
out of lumber, water pipe, angle iron, anything we could find.
One of my friends brought home a short wall cement form and
built a cart out of it. Our parents pretty much stayed out of the
building part but I got a complete set of Craftsmen tools for
Christmas one year. One time the old man came home with a
centrifugal clutch and another time- 2 “new” wheels. Wheels
were the hardest thing to find. It was just fun. I didn’t realize
how much I was learning and teaching myself. Times have
changed. We could never get by with it today.
