Happy Thanksgiving to the whole Puddin family and all of you who take the minute to read this. I'm thankful for this channel

Happy Thanksgiving This video will help us get through the day that's about to begin. Perfect timing Puddin

Happy thanksgiving

Nicely said. Dont eat to much

[@markmckeachnie4484]

And I’m happy to see you working on a firechicken

[@rockystanaitis2908]

I was the shift supervisor at the YerfDog factory in Jordan Minnesota back in 1996. I programmed the welding robots that made your gocart. We made thousands per week for Sam’s Club. We had an assembly line like a car factory. Sam’s speced those units out for 1000 hours trouble free. Your units may have more hours on them than that. There is supposed to be grease zerks on those front spindles. Factory. You may want to inspect for other missing zerks. Thanks for bringing back all those memories for me.

[@danielkingery2894]

That's a baddass comment right there. Too bad Puddin' doesn't reply too much. 👍

[@daviddavis4444]

My brothers and I built a go cart when we was growing up in the 60's we had 2 chainsaw motors on it at first. Dad wasn't too happy with it after he clocked us with is police radar faster than it should have been and made us take one off.

[@sykwookiee]

My dad would've said that f'n thing is way too fast...I wonder how much faster it will be with three? Let's get after it boys...

[@contraband1543]

​@@sykwookieeWow you're so cool

[@cliffordplasd8239]

Happy turkey day. You said you didn't make much progress today however, you did. You realized that your daughter's are not much into the go karts. You made your mind up not to force it upon them. That sir makes you an amazing father.

[@dooginator9990]

Happy Thanksgiving to the Puddin family!!! We hope you have a wonderful and joyful time!!!

[@davidwolff8878]

you are a great dad. HAPPY THANKSGIVING PUDDIN FAMILY

The 12 TON jack stand was a nice choice , Safety First

[@highway445]

I have 4 grandsons who are in their late teens now. When they they were younger I had 5 yard carts for them. One was a spare. I built them a track on my 2 acres and they would wind those suckers and have fun. My neighbor told me that they were tearing my grass up. I told him that I'm raising grandsons, not grass thank you very much. Their carts had 5hp Breaks and Scrap'ems on them and I was forever working on them, that's why I had a spare cart. That got me to thinking. I'm pretty good at repairing small engines. So I started a second income at it. Those Preditor engines are the way to go on those carts I guarantee. Thanks for your channel. It is very entertaining . Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my friend.

[@danielkingery2894]

Whoop whoop!

[@billphilip9356]

Sorry you’re not feeling 100%. You made us feel better with your holiday surprise. Happy Thanksgiving to y’all ! You have a wonderful family. Rule #1: Keep ‘em happy !

[@br549200]

Thanks for cranking this out on the holiday!

[@karenhaviland5791]

Don’t sweat it ! I bought a go cart for my grandson’s to ride on my property. They rode it once, one ran into the corner of porch the other one ran into the propane tank lol . Scarring them so they never rode it again , but my granddaughter loved it and she is younger than them lol . Kept it for a few years then traded it for a John Deere ridding mower with snow plow ! Win win 😅

[@jpMcnab]

Man has realization. Not even disappointed. Gets his own go kart.

[@bumboclat]

must be a blast and a half to run around your huge new property with those.

[@-chris-2775]

Would like to see a Puddin/Puddin-Pops go kart race off. Also a Slick and Wild Man Bill race off would be pretty entertaining. 😂

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

Puddin and the gang go-cart race around the pond sounds like a fun video.

[@bobtucker8875]

Well happy thanks giving to the whole family 😊. 🎉 party on.

[@offhandacoustic]

Happy Thankgsgiving Puddin! I out a set of 4 shocks off amazon on my yerfdog and it completely changed the ride. Was rough as hell with the stock shocks, but the new ones float over bumps like a champ and helped quite the ride down..

[@kentuckybluegrassliving7718]

Happy Thanksgiving- Thank you for all the entertainment- God Bless all you do- love you and family

[@jeffpanian433]

Really enjoyed watching the Go-Kart maintenance. You could probably film yourself painting trim and i'd like that. Oh wait ..... I bought 5 mini-bikes for our family. Thought I was going to be dad of the year. They drove them once, and never got on em again. Well my wife and I enjoyed ours.

[@novavroomvroom3435]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE PUDDIN FAMILY...!!!!!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Stepping up WITH THAT FIREBIRD. Yeah I'm a firebird guy. I've got one I've owned for a number of years actually I've owned them both a number of years. The 68 is a project. There are parts cars laying around the country if interested. Looking forward to it.👍.

[@grooveguy]

Happy Thanksgiving to you Puddin and fam and fans. I'm Canadian so we already had our Thanksgiving a few weeks ago.🎉❤🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸!!! Love your channels and vidjas too!!! Cant wait to see what the future brings, you are absolutely incredible at what you do Sir and its a privilege to be able to have you share your skills with us!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Nothing Puddin can’t fix with a nice heavy Pott County Sledge Hammer in his hand.😊

[@jameskloss3866]

Always enjoyable and entertaining. Enjoy time with your girls. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@codemand.p.7839]

Just watching you cut those corners up and eye ballin it, I think we all knew it was still gonna rub🤣🤣you should do these live and then we can say WAIT ….. STOP…… THAT AINT GONNA WORK🤣 Great video once again!!

[@Mister006]

Slick Fitty's family has the nice old rides... The Chevrolet Apache truck was beautiful, and I can't wait to see what gets done with the Rat Pontiac!

[@rockystanaitis2908]

If you chain an old king size mattress coil spring on behind the YerfDog you can groom your lawn while having fun.

[@anthonypiligno7618]

Hope you have a great thanksgiving bro... and thank you.... JJ...😊😊

[@chuckieswickedgoodfab]

This is going to be a goodin!!!! Was away for turkey day, nothing makes it better to come home to some Puddin. That Pontiac is sweeeeeeet!!!!

[@willmc42]

Hope y'all had a good turkey dinner, and enjoyed Family time. Don't worry about Go-Karts not being a full time hit, they are best for get-togethers and parties. The girls will have friends over next summer, make sure both karts are tuned up and ready to ride by spring break. If you have snow, they'll have a blast in a semi-safe manner.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

always wanted a gen1 firebird/camaro. had a 68 GTO. Bought it in 76. That little bird looks good. Can't wait to see it reborn.

[@tfoley455]

Happy Thanksgiving all Got to say I was excited about the go-carts. Till I seen the thunder chicken in the back. Can't wait to see it

[@tomtomisek]

Hey there, condensation naturally occurs when engines get hot and cold. If they don't run hot enough for long enough, they won't evaporate the condensation until the water displaces the lighter oil, forcing the oil out past the rings. I live in GA, where it is more common from high humidity. The only thing you can do is change the oil often unless, when you start the engine you make sure to run it long enough to get hot for a while and cook off the condensation.

[@Jammer.1]

The belt drive is like what they use on snowmobiles & yes the belt looks a size or two big but will work just great as the pully expands the faster the motor goes it tightens up on the belt ! 50 years ago myself & few the neighbor kids used build go-carts out water pipe & braze the pipe together but no roll cage was even though of back then ! Yes i had many times rolled over & once had head-on crash but i'm still alive & only had few bumps & burses

[@nicsminibikes]

The belt on the second go-kart look good. A lot better than the first!

[@ssykes80]

Worn out belts and clutches that need cleaning!

[@nicsminibikes]

@@ssykes80 ya normal torque converter maintenance wouldn't hurt that's fo sho

[@johnnyzander1466]

Looking forward to more of that -67 Firebird. I had one when I was young many, many years ago, and I loved it. 😍

[@orlandojohnson5671]

Happy Thanks giving sir, i enjoyed the yerfdog cart video. But go and enjoy the family and have a great time with them.

[@Doogie_Causey]

67 camaros and firebird are the only year with wing windows. Happy Thanksgiving Puddin, Your Family and Your Subs

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Happy thanks giving had fun 👍😊

[@GearheadsGarage336]

I've had a few of those yerf dog karts over the years. To answer questions, yes the belt is supposed to be loose, but maybe not THAT loose! And every one that I've had, has been clanky and janky, but those karts are stout! The play in the parts is normal for those karts. 1 because they are older and wore, but also unless your going to upgrade those parts with bearings/bushings, you need that play for everything to move freely! Throw some luby douby on it and call it a day lol! It's a go kart, send it!!

[@1leggeddog]

You need a go-kart track on the property now! But one reason why your girls may be scared is those seats. Not feeling planted and secure (even if it does have a seatbelt) isn't confidence inspiring. Individual bucket seats would help a lot towards helping them stay secured

[@michaelstraub6237]

The spindle bolts need shims made from a pop can. The jack shaft base plate needs to be slotted to move the motor forward to tighten up the belt. I build fully custom mini truck go karts. Hope that helps

[@JaydenWright69]

Happy thanksgiving Puddin family hope you have a good time

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

Happy thanksgiving. Just finished watching this episode. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH YOUR GIRLS. The fact that you chose them is an additional layer of blessing. My wife misses not having our girl. But we have one of our sons. Its human nature to want and miss what you don't have. But remember what we do have is the thing not to forget.

[@josephhaynie4398]

Go-Karts are so much fun hope you make time with your friends to rip it up on them. Don't get old, we want to see gray hair and balding old man puddin ripping it up in these in years to come. Keep doing you we love it.

[@jackstevens2877]

Growing up, my brother and I had a yerfdog gokart that was a bit larger than yours. Watching this brought back a ton of good memories of raising hell with that thing. Hopefully y'all can make some great memories as well!

[@Blaizethisnthat]

Oh man what a find I’ve been wanting a 68 Pontiac Firebird for years 400 staple shifter with white leather interior and painted blue metallic

[@wayneparks6195]

I once owned a 67 Firebird. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. Love watching your channel. I try to never miss an episode.

[@jefffindley5870]

"tinking noise " is the clutch , normal .Do 3 oil changes with used oil . Get motor up to temp and change each time . 4th ,used new oil . should get rid of milkshake . We did it on a kart we got for my son . Advice from a small engine mechanic of 40 + years . Also we ran straight 30 weight oil .

[@coolcat7918]

Happy Thanksgiving pudding and family,thanks for taking us on your journey 🦃

[@TB-zw7dt]

First thing I thought was a clamp or vice to straighten things out. Puddin grabs a floor jack. Love it.

[@JaysonAkersAZ]

happy thanksgiving brother - enjoy the daddy daughter time as much and as often as you can!!

[@joshengelbrecht2483]

The clutch squeezes together and tightens up the belt

[@edvandermolen1069]

That clanking sound coming out of the Centrifugal clutch is completely normal.

[@robertmedina6875]

Grease? Opps ! Love the video Brother!! I love all of my shirts from the Puddin merch collection! God bless your family!!

[@madmex2k]

Where you see a go kart, I see a really fast ride to dump the Taco Boy side effects! Of course, that squat to get on/off might be a little dangerous. Going to get the mail? There you go. Put a tow strap and pull the garbage bins to the curb! Its now a fun tool to get around the yard without using a lot of gas, adjusting a carb, finding the keys to a vehicle...leave one by the house to let the wife ride out to see you quicker. Hahaha!

[@philgogler9091]

Weekend with the girls , good idea mate, all work and no play will catch up with you eventually, relax and enjoy with the girls 👍❤️🇦🇺

I was surfing youtube while waiting for my Wife to get done burning the turkey, and discovered Puddin put out a thursday Thanksgiving video....Man-O-Man Here we go Again.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Those little engine are very simple to work on and you can up the horsepower for very little money. Also if Hot Rod wants to drive them again you can put a block under the gas petal to keep it from fully depressing. A little late but Harbor Freight has those engines on sale for about 100 bucks this weekend.

[@stu-j]

Add a adjustable throttle stop to the pedal for the kids then adjust it back when you want fun!

[@jimbrooks9411]

You can put spacers under that engine assembly,and as engine goes up chain tightens.plus u can buy spindles every part fir yerf dogs

[@stevecomb180]

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. to you and your family. I almost fast forwarded to the end because I thought for sure I was gonna see you and slick 50 out doing hot laps. Awesome video as usual. I hope to see you and slick 50 out racing them little carts around

[@jeffbeckley5044]

I bout laid a brick in my pants when you showed the 67!! I cannot wait to see what you do with it! That is my #1 bucket list car

Man what a fun awesome video. I miss building gocarts with my kids, they're all grown up now. Happy thanks giving homie.

[@robertnelson2728]

I do believe that his milkshake did, in fact, bring all the boys to the yard..

[@drive42]

I recently worked on a go cart similar to the ones you have and noticed that they do not use the Ackerman Principle when attaching the tie rod arms to the spindles. In a rear steer situation (tie rods behind the centerline of the front axle) the tie rod arms should point to the the center of the rear axle. The makes whichever wheel is on the inside of a turn cut sharper than the outer wheel. This minimizes the steer tires scuffing in a corner and increases the stability of the front end when turning. It should be a fairly easy fix for a man with a torch and a welder. Go enjoy Thanksgiving and your family!

[@kenthell8389]

Had an older Yerf-Dog kart & had to drill & put over sized bolts front & rear to fix all the slop

[@ijustdoyoutube3556]

[@scottblackwell157]

Today I am thankful for puddin!!

[@wolfhunterv1]

Junkyard digs he's good with carts and has parts!

[@chrisprieur270]

When my cousin sucked water into a 4-wheeler him and my uncle changed the oil several times after running it for a short time between changes until signs of water quit coming out. That's what a mechanic told them to do. Far as I know they ran it for a good while after and it was fine.

[@kimberlywilliams9757]

All those times you had to waddle to the house when you had to use the bathroom you could have jumped on a go cart and got there in no time! 🤣

[@iannorton4463]

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Puddin family. If I remember correctly, you mentioned one time of maybe doing a collaboration with Grind Hard Plumbing. They could help you build a hell of a couple of gokarts..

Y'all have a great turkey day

[@kenjohnson5498]

Iv'e been wondering about those things sitting there rusting, i love building the small engines to get max horsepower. Those engine cradle hinges are junk and are usually replaced with a couple himes joints. For Hot Rod turn the idle adjustment in until it cant go fast

[@vincentpryor5455]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family. You're missing the grease fittings on your spindles. The grease is your bushings on these. We would grease ours before every ride.

[@whatsoutthere6822]

You can close up those hole by threading them and reaming to the proper size. We called it "knurlizing" in tech school and did it to valve guides if not replacing them.

[@4x4play4]

what the hell puddin? you finally got a real car to work on and you choose gocarts. my man. i knew i loved this channel.

[@emersonb5764]

The bolt that the throttle lever pivots on comes tight from the fsctory so you can use it on a tiller or something. Loosen up the nylock nut a little bit and it should move freely enough that the fsctory spring will return it to zero, but if your throttle cable has some drag, you might need to lube your cable and/or add a stiffer return spring. That’s a normal issue to encounter when using the predator engines.

[@differentgroove1]

Enjoy the weekend with the Fam ! Hotrod going to take you downtown on the soccer field.

[@Bolandcustoms]

I needed a new liner once for my big boi mig, Went to the shop to buy one for my 8 foot mig gun, ended up being smarter to buy a new complete 17 foot gun , was only like 60 bux extra and got a bunch of tips and stuff with it. I thought it was a good deal and allowed me to not have to drag the welder around so much

[@bigt72gmc]

Would love to see a video of you and Slick having fun with them go karts on this channel

Thanks for the video! Nice change of pace, many of us fellow car guys have gokarts and mini bikes in the inventory, simple and fun.
