Thanks to everyone for looking at my Kart ID Request.
But thanks to Joel Mullin, he knew what this kart is.
It is a PLB Kart.
PLB stands for Portage Lakes Boats.
The PLB Branding is on the steering wheel shaft.
They were a kart shop in south Akron, Ohio and built these karts in 1960 and 61.
They were also a West Bend dealer.
This kart in completely as it was from the factory with the dead axle, upholstery and twin 700's.
This is a VERY Rare kart and I hope we can find someone to restore it back to original.
Anyway, my Thanks to Joel for his knowledge and help.

Rick, You scare me sometimes. It certainly is unique. The thing that scares me is, it looks like it's in your garage.

It is, can you believe it..
I did find enough room for one more...

I just got a second phone call from a fellow who had a PLB Kart.
What information these 2 guys had.
He told me the owner of Portage Lakes Boats son, built these karts until he was Drafted.
They were built for only 2 years with the last one being built special for a customer.
Everyone had 700WB on them.
Gotta love the History
