Chipper's - MTD SS300 - (Vintage Class)

#1
Well folks I'm in , I know the suspense was Killin ya :biggrin: MTD Western Flyer Trail Bike SS300 , gonna need some love . It has a hokey scrub brake welded on that has to go , the neck tube had been cut down for Cat 250 forks ( those are gone ) , got a crazy re-weld on left side main tube near fork tube that needs to be addressed and some other crazy tab welded on the right side lower frame . The goal is to make this thing pretty dang close to original which should be possible . Power is likely going to be a later model 3.5 hp Tecumseh ! More pics to follow soon once I get started , still rebuilding my in-laws flooded house so haven't had the time I need but that project is coming to a close .
And go big or go home :laugh:

If you need any help, I built one a couple years ago.
Might even have the impossible to find band brake mount.
Nice longer framed bikes.
Good luck bro.

Angelo-- I have a complete MTD band brake assembly. If you have a pic of what you need, I can compare to what I have. Good luck on the build...nice to have more competition in Vintage!:thumbsup:

Well here is what I have to do on the frame , neck tube was cut down and thusly has to be removed and replaced , got to repair the re-weld on frame tube , remove the custom scrub brake and that other welded on tab ( Don't know what it was for ) , I'll have to massage the top tubes to get rid of the fork dings , lol .
