Found this under the paint and rust. I think it has something to do with the identification of the square tubing rather than any sort of serial number. It says "10-318".

Square Tubed Minibike Frame project

@Lizardking , thank you for the info! I have no idea what engine my bike came with originally, but I am guessing it was a Tecumseh.
@Lizardking , I agree with you, but I always wondered why my bike was 'squared off', for lack of better words, instead of rounded frame corners like the Hot Dog. Suppose it could have been a prototype?
I believe You have the "Hot Dog" that should of came with a 3 hp Briggs and 4 or 5" wheels with scrub brake.
Mine is a 400 model with 6" wheels, 4 hp Tecumseh, sprung forks, Jack shaft and drum brake. The bigger Hound Dog came with rear suspension and 5 hp Briggs.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

@Lizardking , thank you. That is the best representation I've seen of what my minibike should look like. Much appreciated!
It's currently sitting in my folks shed for now. Life happened and I've had to focus more on work, etc. But I would eventually like to get back to it, put a bigger gas tank on it, etc. I have a 2-quart fuel tank I had pulled off a mid-60's Briggs 5-hp in a scrap yard, but had trouble mounting it. I need to clean the carb, sand the flywheel, check the points, etc. No current pics at the moment, it looks a bit rusty from the east coast summer humidity.
