Just turned 12 for the 5th time

[Fred G Sanford]

Old man who refuses to grow up, thats me.
I always loved things mechanical but never had a mini bike so its time now.
I was talking to my son who works in a scrapyard about mini bikes and gokarts and one day he picked one up at work and gave it to me.
I 'm going to try and fix it up and break my neck on it like the old woman said I would.:wink:

[gbabins1]

[texasfabguy]

Welcome,love the bike!

Thats a very interesting looking bike.... I wonder what it is.

 

[Fred G Sanford]

I will have to get more pics of the one without engine but here are acouple of another mini bike he got me, it runs but needs somw work on the controls and need a seat.
The other pic is of my old 30 Ford coupe I been fooling with since I had to quit working.I don't think I'll ever get it done.

 

[Fred G Sanford]

Here are some pics of one he got for his boys, it has a bad motor, anyone know where he could buy a replacement motor?
This is a made in China product.

Welcome! Love the bike although not a clue what it is either. Not to be blasphemous on the OldMiniBikes, but I love the coupe even more!!! :thumbsup:

I think the first one you posted is a modified MTD Mini Cycle like the one below. They came with 5hp 2 stroke Tecumseh's on them.

Cool bike looks like Yamaha shocks on the back.:thumbsup:

 

[markscycles]

I got to go find a job at the scrap yard!

 

[Fred G Sanford]

I couldn't work where he works, I would be bringing everything I saw home!
I think he gets tired of me calling him at home and asking what interesting things he saw at work.

 

[markscycles]

I was at our local yard the other day and there was a tiller with a 5hp briggs and they wouldnt let me buy it.:shrug:

 

[Fred G Sanford]

Some yards won't sell scrap to the public,I buy pipe and tubing and some sheet metals from the yards. Some are afraid to sell to hobbyist for projects fearing being sued if your project causes injury or worse.
Try to get to know the yard manager, it might help you be able to buy scrap pieces.
