What did I buy for $140?

#1
What kind of bike did I buy?

What kind of engine is this?
I cannot find the part # anywhere, where can I look?

-I'm guessing this is a 3hp B & S

What size is the rear tire? It doesn't have any measurements on it/at least not readable & I need to replace it.

Where can I get some brakes? What kind of brakes do you recommend?
Feel free to give me your plug.

Thank you,

And yes I'm a new member. :scooter:

Welcome to OldMiniBikes. I know you looked but there sure should be something on the tire somewhere with the size. Good little project.

How does a big sprocket improve performance?

I heard that a big sprocket in the back and a small sprocket in the front helps with torque. Is that right?

How is having this big sprocket on the rear help?

Thanks for responding to my thread.

8c 3 hp briggs and stratton

Motor looks like a pre-1960 Briggs 3hp. Look for a stamped number between the colling fins on the front left corner of the head. 8 is a 3hp and a 6 is 2hp.
You were right :smile: it is stamped with " 8C ".
What are your thoughts about the motor?
Any tips on maintaining it or modding it?
I would appreciate your feedback.
