So I was browsing Craigslist (I really have to stay off of there lol) and saw this advertised for $40. How could I not buy it??
It came with an 8hp Briggs snowblower motor but it has pulleys on it that are going to be a HUGE pain to remove... don't think I'm going that route anyways.
Tires are awesome... no dry rot at all! They are all Carlisle brand and look original :confused:
Plastics are there and in OK shape.
Seat is from a Honda motorcycle and isn't attached... going in the trash. Need to find something that fits.
My plan is to put some dirt bike handlebars & controls on it, change out the rear gear for something a little smaller (so I'm not just doing wheelies all the time lol), and put a 250cc or so dirtbike/ATV motor on it. Motorcycle engines are much more plentiful but the gearing isn't right.
Thoughts? I know tons of companies made these but is there anything here that might be able to identify it by? I did do a search but most the pics in the threads I found were long gone.
The front fender and food peg design (or lack thereof lol) make me think this isn't a Manco... unless they had many different models.
