Need pics of Sears 300 Racer

Post by Chris Erb » Fri Feb 26, 2010 8:17 pm

A friend of mine just acquired a Sears 300 and is looking for pics of this kart so that he may restore it the correct way. I sent him a flyer, but that did not show close ups of it. Also if anyone has parts or knows where some may be found. Thanks in advace for everyones help.

Hi Chris, Try this link. Same as R-300. This one has the hard to find back seat air filter and the fuel tank, properly mounted. Steering wheel and upholstery is NOT correct. This link is from a completed auction on ebay. Images will not be there long so you will want to download them very quickly to keep.

Also, go to this link, under American Karts, then go down to "Sears", and you'll see a couple more photos of a rougher example of the R-300.

If your buddy has specific questions or needs specific pics, have him email me with his needs and i'll try to get out to where my kart is and get the photos he needs.

Hope this helps....Ron

That ebay auction was mine. I still have the kart and am going to get it apart this spring for a redo. I am not even going to try to find the correct steering wheel. I had one of these before this one and looked for the correct steering wheel for 2 years with no luck.
