identification

Got this at a junk store this weekend. I want to build a mini for the kids. Can anyone tell what it is just from the frame?

I picked up a go kart at a yard sale. Trying to identify it to see if it's worth anything before I start working on getting it going again. Please help me identify it if you can. I'd like information on how to rebuild the drum brake as it seems to be sticking a bit. Any ideas there? The...

I picked up this little motor along with an 8hp for 20$ on craigslist. I think its a 3hp but I'm not sure, there are no markings other than 8B on the head. The carb says "lauson power products" on the float bowl. Any idea what year and model number. I also picked up another engine along...

I am restoring a mini bike my grandfather built for me when I was 6 (1980). I will post photos of finished frame when I get a chance. I need help with motor identification. This is what I am working with 941164 6109140. These are the only numbers stamped on the housing. I considered...

I know the kickstand is a long shot but i was gonna ask about the rims anyways so i figured, why not? Anyways, i bought these at an estate sale and one rim was in the one car garage while the other was out behind the garage buried. Once i found the first i knew i had to see if there was another...

I picked up this little bike a couple of weeks ago but I am having trouble finding out much about it. I have included a picture to help figure out the maker. The bike says Thunderbird on a front plaq(I think). The engine is a Tecumseh. The wheels are steel rod spokes. If you know the maker or...

Does anyone here know if the Lil Indian Model 600 "Shifty" came with a chain guard. It has an original Briggs and Stratton 3hp engine. Also can anyone give me an idea of the manufacturing date of this bike. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nick

I am completely new to the site and know little about mini bikes. I was wondering if anybody could give me some help in identifying this bike. It was taken out of a garage a few years back and I remember someone mentioning Lil Indian but I don't know. Please any help would be great! Thanks Nick

I just picked this up and I've searching for over an hour and I can't find anything :surrender:, so I need help from you i.d experts:bowdown:. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My first post here!! I have a 5 hp Tecumseh without a shroud/cover. How is identification done without having the shroud. Is there any method to determine model/serial numbers. In the future I may need to find some key components and may have trouble matching what I have. If fishing was...

Today found me with a couple of new additions to the herd. I took several pics to share with you guys, in the hopes that several of these bikes can be identified & perhaps a rough guesstimate of value could be suggested. This first one I like to call the "Chopped Chopper". :hack::sadcrying4:

Anyone know what this is?

I recently picked up a mini bike frame that is complete but has no identification on it. It is a chopper style with the rear of the seat sprung and the front through bolted to the frame tubes. The seat springs are on a U shaped chromed tube that is like a sissy bar. The front fork has some...
