Just got a cat slingshot frame, what size is rear wheel and axel?

[Bchag]

I got it for free, I am going fo cut that stupid neck off and weld the tube back on the frame and press new bearings into it. I just need to know what size axel and wheel I need.

@Bchag Thank you for planning to rescue it !

The rear wheel size would match the front Cat wheel that you currently have.

Same thing for the axle, measure the front axle.

I don't think this is a Slingshot frame. There appears to be a tab on the top of the frame for mounting a fuel tank which the Slingshot didn't use. There is also a mounting tab for a long chain guard towards the back of the frame.

I'm going to say maybe this might have been a Hustler frame that was shortened? Could be wrong but that's my best guess as to what this originally was.

Good luck on that .lots of work

The way the frame is round looking, makes me think Cat 250 or 300 ?

Cat wheels are 6" on that bike , axle is 5/8" length as needed ! Measure axle tabs and add an inch for the nut !

Good for you on getting it for free. Once your done you will love the labor of love we call mini bikes. Ride it with pride.
