Hi everyone this was my first “restoration” and I just got what I think is an original motor but I think it’s a lil Indian but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

It's a Ruttman. I had one a few years back.

1969 Ruttman..wrong motor. That is off an edger due to the fact it is only 2hp. Should have at least a 3hp with the 4'' wheels. Usually a Tecumseh motor with the metal tank.

Are they hard to come by?

You can get a kit on OldMiniBikes that's very similar. The cover doesn't have the rolled edges, but it does include the brake kit

I thought they had repopped some that had the rolled edges, but I didn't see them on the site
