7512947...I thought mine was made in the 60's, looks as if I have one of the last :(

I was thinking this engine may have been modded by B&S for the tote gote scooters, walk behind tractor or water/garbage pump.? Anyway, the numbers on the plate attached to the cylinder are as follows; 143302 model, 502549 type and 220941 serial number. What year is this motor?

Is there a mini bike that will accommodate a motor that is 17" tall?

Seems a shame not to keep it, think it would make for an interesting restore project. I wish I lived closer. Good luck.

I probably purchased a $85 shelf queen, but it runs great and sounds like a street bike...it has a mercury clutch, stainless steel muffler and it's been rebuilt by a gentlemen who worked for B&S over 35 years. I only know that it's a 6 HP series 140300 motor from the 1960's...I am sure these...

Sorry Rocco, I've been in and out of the hospital these past few weeks, anyway, I am finally beginning to feel better (knocks on wood). My brother said he will weld the forks for me...I took a grinder to the bad welds today.

Will do Rocco, I will call or P.M. you to see when you are available. AJaxMini I believe the engine, fuel tank and engine mount are not original, In fact I am pretty sure the engine mount is off a Powerdyne 1500. Excluding the motor (Which runs very well ;)) I have the bike completely...

I found some horrible welds on these forks, they cracked very easily. Can someone recommend me a replacement fork? It doesn't have to be Powerdyne nor do they have to have shocks/springs, I just want forks that will work on my Galaxie/Falcon with some strength, integrity. OldMiniBikes? eBay?

Single tube construction with a clifton motor:confused:

That is exactly what someone did, the plate from another minibike was welded onto this frame....from what bike and for what purpose? Oh well, I will make the most of it and ensure everything is straight and aligned.:doah:

Cool! krylon dual paint/primer is my plan as well. 60's -70's "vibe" is the word.:thumbsup:

That is pretty badass! You did a great job with her, maybe put that narly bell back on, the local PD will dig that as well. Congrats.:thumbsup:

Oh I got it...I just wish I knew how the bike originally looked so that I can research the parts needed for the restore.

I've been researching these bikes, I think this may be the Falcon model,however, this bike has a crossover drive system :confused: the bikes I found on my web research do not have this which makes me wonder if the bike is a later 1970's model vs. 1960,s, I also noticed the front fork has a few...

I really like that color, it reminds me of the 50's 60's type salmon color, lots of mojo...did you spray or powder coat? My next guitar build is going to be a salmon pink telecaster. :thumbsup:

Indeed this is an awesome thread. I sure wish I could had made it to the Ann Arbor swap meet today, I need parts:doah:

No wonder I couldn't remember :confused: Thank you :thumbsup:

Rocco told me but I forgot.

I actually live a 1/2 hour drive north of the city, when I mention the area or town where I live people are like huh? so I always say Chicago, however, I have family in buck town, Lake View and the gold coast, and I work in the loop one or two days a week. The medical district off the...

Totally awesome little bike! Great reuse idea for old plates.
