If you zoom, the lower fork legs are larger diameter than the actual fork tube. My guess is someone slipped those bent legs over the cutoff lower forks and welded them on.

I've been looking for a Mickey for years. Looks like I missed one of the best deals out there on one!

Take the spring from the throttle shaft top plate going to your cable off. Not needed. That should help as well as the link provided.

Elephant wax has worked well for me but if the vinyl is actually brittle and cracking apart nothing will save it.

It's a Sears. @markus has posted the brochure before regarding this model I believe.

The frame was definitely Bird/Sears based by the narrow lower rails, engine plate and scrub brake....

Just wanted to post a quick thank you to @FloridaMiniBikes for a smooth transaction of his Tec Motorsport H50 he sold me. David was honest, responsive and went out of his way to help me get this engine for a General Appliance Trail Blazer project I'm stockpiling parts for. We all see the threads...

Have fun everyone. Maybe I'll see you next year....

Looks good. What are your plans for a seat? There is someone who makes a fantastic reproduction. It's well worth the price and time it takes to get it.... If you are planning to get the repro decals and need accurate measurements for placement send me a PM...

Karen is correct. You can put it on and impact it tight but the taper is a few degrees different. If safety is your concern, don't do it. Use the Kohler flywheel that is a direct bolt on. If there is another charging coil flywheel for the Hemi, I'm not aware of it.

Rider weight? You might go up a hill with a decent run at it but it won't pull you from the bottom at a start most likely...

Wow! Excellent survivor!

MAYBE I'll text them to you....:D

I'm looking for a way to get my Trail Horse roller to Windber from @derekbmn in Minnesota. If anyone is coming past him and wants to make some fuel money, let me know please. I may have a pretty sweet Heald VT survivor for sale from my Dad as well. If anyone is seriously interested I can get...

I'm gonna say homemade on that one....

Super cool! Like I said on FB, it would be cool to see this from a few more members of the community. I've seen your name pop up in some of the groups and it's fun to put a face/collection to the name.

A little more info may help. Are you running a centrifugal clutch or a TAV/belt setup?

Dave, someone was reproducing the tall JS plates needed to convert a standard frame but I cannot remember who? It may have been @Hent and I when I was working with him. I know I had a set of them in my stash but gave them to someone who needed them for a conversion. @Peekster may remember as...
