Picked up another one.....This time a Boonie

[jeep4me]

Here's another one to add to the collection. I got this one yesterday. Runs okay, it just doesn't stop. The drum brake setup on the rear wheel is missing the shoes and springs. I hope I can find replacement parts..

Cool. It's a boonie fest :thumbsup: And to think I found a Bronc but have no room! :doah:

The brake is 5" and looks like this.

I noticed that some places sell complete brakes that are different but replacement pads show the holes on the sides for the springs and they have the right pivot points.

Soon everyone will have a boonie...there fun minis...and the wide back tire is pretty cool.

I'm glad there are a few Boonies coming up for sale, so they can be bought by one of us and fixed up to ride again...they were one of the few bikes that were big enough for an adult to comfortably ride.

nice find man. i might have some brake stuff for you. i'll take a pic and post it up in a bit.

 

[Bananas for Bonanzas]

would this set help you? i bought it as a replacement for one of my bonanzas but didnt end up using it

 

[kbs8ball]

BB I can use that...5 inch?

 

[Bananas for Bonanzas]

yep, 5 inch. are you looking for a bonanza replacement?

 

[kbs8ball]

yes I am...got a pic of the other side?

 

[Bananas for Bonanzas]

I believe Jeep just got dry gulched. :thefinger:

That would need mods the fit a boonie but if it fits, all you'd have to do is drill two holes for mounting.

That's okay, I saw it before kbs replied. I"ll try to find something locally. Until I do, my soles will will be getting a little warm. Actually, the weather here is getting pretty cold, so I don't think I'll be riding it much. Thanks GTO.

Jeep if you need the brake set up take it...he did offer it to you..but if you dont want it I can use it...

 

[GTO]

Looks like he only needs the shoes that look like this, and mayby the control bolt thingy?

 

[OldMan]

... the control bolt thingy?

I really hate it when you go all technical on us! :thefinger:

 

[jeep4me]

I took her out for a test run. And I broke the bead on the front tire, I forgot to check if there was enough air in it, and almost went head over heels...ouch! After I pushed it back home and got everything filled up, I took it back out. Man does thing every want to pull a wheely...whoa! I'll probably need to do some adjusting to the jackshaft because the back tire doesn't sit square, and I can't move the tire in anymore to loosen the chain.

picture this,,,,,,,,,,,,,

A 12 inch long scrub brake. :thefinger:

After my scare with the front tire, I had a 12" long skid mark in my grungies.
