Sears Puddle Jumper

[ELT]

Does anybody have one of these bikes? I'm trying to fabricate the spring loaded chain tightener and I need to find a picture of the original tightener.

I should add my bike has a rear swing arm so the tensioner needs to follow the chain as the suspension works.

I restored a Sears Puddle Jumper a couple years ago for the build off.
Here is a link to the resto. Mine didn't have a rear tensioner though. It works very well without one.

Did that bike come with the comet torque converter set up? I'm running a chain drive off the engine. I was wondering if I could fit a torque converter on there.

Came with CAT99 originally. No tensioner i am aware of.
