pickup a SNOWCO three wheeler and been trying to look up more info about it and the only real hard info i found on it, that it was made in the early to mid 70's and that it was called a mini scat and it would of came with a 2 1/2 hp motor. still not sure if that was a tecumseh or briggs? kind of thinking was a tecumseh, because the larger models i have seen them with the original tecumseh engines. most companys usually stick with one engine brand. i have not seen any of these mini scats posted and did a quick search with no luck at all. if they did have a 2 1/2 hp tecumseh? it would of been a rear mount tank with a side popper engine. front mount tank would of not work with the seat being right next to the engine. maybe someone has some nice original three wheeler mini scat pictures.
it looks to still have the original brake handle and band/drum brake on it and thumb throttle looks correct too? also looks to have the original kill button mounted on top of the triple tree. the rear tires are double headed indian and the front too. front fender look like it was painted red with the same white strips has the fiberglass seat had. take look at the ID tag. model no.MS and serial no.01630
MS=miniscat?
01630, 01=1971? 630 unit made?
not for sure on any of this? anybody know how to read the ID tags on snowco bikes:shrug:
here is the only hard info i could find from a Popular Mechanics Jun 1974

pictures may still be hard to tell,but this thing is small. even my stepson that is a normal size 13yr old kid can't even fit in it.:doah:
