Yard-Man Yardster go-kart

[TTBeckel]

Does anyone know what this go-kart might be worth? It's a 1950's era Yard-Man Yardster with a 4 cycle Briggs &Stratton gas motor on it.

It is interesting and I have never seen one. Unfortunately, the rules on this forum forbid us from guessing at values.
Welcome to the forum, and feel free to look around.
It is worth whatever you can sell it for. Values and demand vary from one town to the next.
Have you ridden it?

No, I have not ridden it but both of my kids have. Even with the seat all the way back it is small for an adult.

Its a David Bradley kart if I'm not mistaken. I've never seen one that fancy though. Definitely vintage and definitely worth something but to find that out you'll have to ask whoever buys it..

Original owners manual also.

You've certainly got something there. Looks like it's in pretty good condition too. Maybe more of a collector's item.

I received the same cart for my 9th birthday in 1960, and i still have it. My dad bought it at the Firestone Store in Fairfield, Conn for $89.95. It sits proudly on display in my garage. I am missing a couple of parts lost over the years but it still runs very well. Wheels and tires are almost impossible to find. If you have any interest in selling it, I would be interested. Your find is an exact duplicate of my cart! Mack
