    Big bear scrambler? What to do with it??

    That is actually a "Taco" mini bike. Its very cool, just start by cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, as It looks very complete and solid where you may not have to source too much which will probably be a little more difficult due to location.

    Engine dismantling

    Once you get that Driver assembly off the seal on the crankshaft/sidecover WILL have to be removed first before engine Disassembly can happen. There will be a retaining snap ring that fixes the crankshaft to the bearing that is retained on the sidecover internally before you can safely pull the...

    1970's Sears Roper Street Legal

    heres a link to a thread with a good pretty much OG example of your particular model which was the HS40 version (tank mounted on engine), not the Remote tank H50 one: Street legal Roper I am just getting ready to paint the "Example" engine Tecumseh built for the first 4hp bike off the Roper...

    Craftsman Tecumseh ser 0032B

    They didn't revise the serial numbering system to have the plant/shift code (the letter at the end) until December of 1970 according to Tecumseh literature, so you can rule that out. It's most likely 1980 due to color, Model number cross referencing can verify the decade though.

    HS50 New old stock crankless short block #2

    Tecumseh never made a dual bearing engine in these sizes, current sidecover is bushing, but that can be changed to bearing and you get single bearing. It an HS50 so it uses the HS50 only crankshafts which had many different PTO configurations available,

    Old bonanza

    in addition to what mountainmini just posted, there is a long extended strut for the brake cable that hangs off the bottom of the arm for most of them due to where the lever was located on the early fairbanks brake assemblies. They also used different axle adjusters that were pieces of tubing...

    Old bonanza

    Indeed they did, Clintons too. I don't think Tecumseh was the standard engine until sometime in 1967 which is when you can see the change in literature. Early '67 adds/photos still show the bike like is listed *which those photos would have been taken in '66, and Lit/adds by Christmas of that...

    Old bonanza

    actually, That style bike would have had that badge, perfect example is the Dan blocker Bike in Rod and custom sept '66, compare things such as the earlier brake and swingarm configuration, That early style fender, etc... I would say its in the late '65-earlier 66 timeframe. Engine, shocks, and...
