Thanks for the info about the shroud and, other things that need to be checked. This will be a complete rebuild, if all needed parts are available. Next time I'm home I'll post some pics of the shroud. Could be awhile. Railroad keeps me away from home.

Hmmm, I am thinking it could be a 80100 ???? I did find an owner manual and the drawing looks similar but, it tells me nothing about hp.

I do have the cover but, there are no decals on it. Also, I'm in Beaumont, TX right now and no idea when I'll be home (I live in Missouri.) I'm having a hard time identifying exactly what model this engine is.

Another question about this engine. Is it possible that this is a Raptor 1? I haven't had time to do anything to it as I work for the UP Railroad and don't get home much. When I do, I had to devote time to the Harley's, house and, wife. I am looking to start ordering parts so to get this thing...

We learn something new every day! Thanks, everyone

Thanks, Tom! This will help me in restoring these diamonds in the rough!

Got these two, along with a Huskee Trail Rider. Paid $100 for all three. Started on the Huskee rebuild and will start on one of these after.

Do wish I had painted her the original green. Come winter, I'll tear it down for a complete restore to original or, as close as I can get. Need to get the wife a mini too.

I believe it is the original engine. It's a Tec H50. Lots of power. Enough to pop a wheelie:thumbsup:

Found her up in Minneapolis between main 1 and main 2 tracks. I figure that it must had been stolen and abandoned or some kid got tired of pushing it and left it to get hit by a train. Either way, it was not suppose to be there and now it is mine all mine :thumbsup:

Hello from Mt. Vernon, Missouri. I got my first mini bike in 1965. It was a blue Foremost. I was five years old. About six months ago, I was testing rail in Minneapolis. I work for an ultrasonic rail testing company. Well, I had to stop and back up to investigate an indication that would...
