You got the FEVER........

That is freakin' cool! I have one that could be a twin to it and would be really into hearing the numbers from the frame and/or engine if you can locate them. I'm surprised that there isn't any of the LiL Indian decals on the engine. Can you see any remnants of where they may have been? Mine has the triangle on the front of the engine case rather than on the blower housing.

You can kinda see where they were. I can find any numbers on the bike or the motor.

Where would it be on the motor?

I'm going to tare the bike apart tonight and start the restore.

For the engine, look on the pull start shroud. Have a look here when done.

I look at the shroud for a good 10 mini last night and couldn't find it.

Nice find, congrats! :thumbsup:

Nice find, congrats! :thumbsup:

I think it was. I think I got a good deal on it too.

When I got mine, the seller never could find the numbers either. There was a bit of surface rust that hid them. Once I looked, I pointed and said there they are. He said, wow!, I looked so many times and never noticed.

They are on the left side of the blower housing and vertical. Can be hard to see but ya just gotta get some light in there and make sure the rust isn't hiding them. Right in front of the air cleaner but on the blower housing.

I will check better when I get home and see. I will post up the numbers when I find them.

Great find! Interested to hear the numbers--.

Ok will post in a few. I haven't decided if this one is going to stay in my collection or if I might trade it off.

I bought 4 bikes as a package. 2 pacmules the lil Indian and a Wards/Snowco T555

Sometimes the sticker is misplaced, and is covering up the numbers. Peel it back a little.

Also, the frame numbers may be on the engine plate.


Nice find :thumbsup:

 

[Mopedman]

Nothing on the motor for numbers.

I couldn't find any on the frame either. Looked for a good 30min. Some one else told me they thought it was a 1966 because of the twist in the rear fender mount.

 

[Mopedman]

I think I am going to sand blast the frame and see if I can see any thing then.

I guess it really doesn't matter a whole lot if your gonna redo it anyhow. Just enjoy the project and admire.it when your done!
