If you are having problems printing this page, hit Ctrl-P to print.

Martin Ziskind and his son built a go-kart with no plans and no kit, in 9 days for his son’s 5th grade photo essay project. Martin used his Lincoln® Weld-Pak® 155 (current model is Easy-MIG™ 180) with .030 solid wire and C25 gas.

The go-kart frame is made from 3/4 inch solid steel and 1 inch square tube.

This project has been published to show how individuals used their ingenuity for their own needs, convenience and enjoyment. Only limited details are available and the projects have NOT been engineered by the Lincoln Electric Company. Therefore, when you use the ideas for projects of your own, you must develop your own details and plans and the safety and performance of your work is your responsibility.
