Bought it for $80 in very rough shape. It had a newer 5hp Tecumseh with electric start! I had to rebuild the carb but later sold that engine for $150. It didn't go with the bike. The seat is leather and appears to be original so I painted the frame and engine to match the seat rather than replace it. I put on an older Briggs that I rebuilt and finished out with a vintage decal kit. And before some of you catch it, no, it's not a 5hp, it's a 3.5hp. The decal kit I had was 5hp and I wasn't going to spring for another decal kit. Anyway, it runs great and looks better than I thought it would. I have a long straight pipe I am going to put on in place of the muffler. It's very fast, I can't image the maniac that rode this thing with a 5hp on it.
nice bike real classy with that color scheme. My buddy has a cheeftah just like that. It had an anemic 2.5hp on it he wanted it to be able to move his 8 year old so i put a warn out briggs 5 on it. It was still alot of motor but hes still alive I think :laugh: bumpy as hell to ride through fields with 4" wheels and no suspension though
