Did Arco make Go Karts?

I picked up a go kart a few months ago. I was told it was a 1958 Bushwhacker or Bushmaster. I know Arco made Bushwhacker minibikes and was wondering if they also produced go karts. I'm posting this in the mini bike forum also. Thanks!

From looking on this forum, it looks like this may be a variation of an early Sears Racer-Kart.

Very cool piece and yes there were a Alexander Reynolds built karts and a trike or two. However that was long after this machine....

I found the answer! It a 1958/59 Sears David Bradley Racer Kart.

Just found out the OP posted an identical thread in the minibike forum too. I am putting the ads I replied with (in the other thread) here in Go Karts for the edification and betterment of all [now color corrected] :





The Racer Kart in my ad shows a $5 price increase. Must be a later ad showing good ol' inflation at work...
