Hi,
its been awhile since i've been on the forum, alway dig the great knowledge here, thank you.
My sickness("love") for mini's is still strong.
Anyway,
My gal & ! have a 'survivor' we're getting around to respectfully restoring to its original running order.
I'm not the most knowledgeable with Montgomery Wards, Allis, Gilson's , so anything you can add to these pictures will help us do it justice. (thanks in advance)
What i got so far, to the best of my knowledge is:
The engine is mid 1972, and the bike looks like a Montgomery Wards XE424. (missing lights) If the motor is correct(?).
But, i read in the 1972 MWards catolog that the 1972 verson was a V424, "V" for variable speed (torque Converter).
But, i know, in minibikes, most of the year lines are blurred and catalogs are only sometimes what was in stores.
So I'm pretty close,
but, still, there is sooo many here, who know soo much more,
i Still need to ask:
What is it?
AND,
to do this MiNi justice, does anyone have a nice front fender, and a nice front rim that you would be willing to part with ??
