My friend picked this up with a 1970 CT70H last week from his bosses 90 year old neighbor who put them to the curb for some veterans donation pickup:blink:. He got them for free and only really wanted the CT as he has two others in pieces. super stoked about this little bike! always wanted a old minibike. My dad had a early Taco 22 he and still remembers everything about them. he loves it too:smile:

already got it running and did a very light clean up got rid of all the surface rust on the clutch side. also freed up the seized drum brake. this thing is keeping its patina!

cant figure out pictures:no::confused:

Cool bike and all....but let me get this straight....your friend basically stole from a veterans donation group? Or am I reading it wrong?

no he talked to the old man and he said he could have them. My friends the one that thought they where stolen and ditched since he saw them out of the corner of his eye and they where laying down by the curb.

thanks guys! if i could find a chain i could ride this bad boy. the only thing that i think is missing is a little piece at the front of the pull start sheet metal that covers a gap where the flywheel is exposed. if that makes sense.

I was wondering if that came on every briggs because i have an all original 63 without it and a bunch of others. maybe a later addition to keep fingers out. someone must know
