Here are some additional pictures. There are three interconnected loops on the first level, two interconnected loops on the second and a single, S scale loop on top. I worked on the project myself and it took about two years to complete. The scenery was the most fun and went quickly. The...

I can not help you, but I'm sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience. In the 60's, a neighbors car rolled down their driveway, into the street and into our garage. Their handiwork destroyed the garage door, part of the side garage structure and pushed our parked car into a Bonanza 1300...

You have lots of interesting Bonanza sales info, that is rarely seen. The only paper I still have is a yellow warranty card from 1966, various model brochures and two; "I Like Riding Bonanza Mini Bikes" metal shirt tags. Thank you for sharing your unusual Bonanza paper collection.

Very nice, cheezy1. It's great to see that others are enjoying the hobby, as well. I've enclosed a corner shot of my 22' x 22', 3-level setup.

Nice job.. like the larger wheels and tires. I did the same Azusa frame kit in the 90's, but didn't keep track of the total investment. Same color as yours too.

Roger, You definitely have the metal working skills and talent. It's obvious you've been down the metal fabrication road more than once, for it looks fantastic! I'm using a 6 hp Tecumseh on my Bonanza, as well.

Roger, The two covers that I have are; 14 3/4" long, 5 1/2" diameter and 2 1/2" deep from the edge. The center of the convex sphere from the edge is 3" deep.

Yes, you're correct markus. I have a brochure that shows the Bonanza lineup (1968) and it includes the 1300T.

Both the BC-1000 and BC-1100 have left side (no jackshaft) rear wheel sprocket configurations.

Bill, Your 1300 has many enhancements. Unfortunately, none of them are original, including the kickstand.

I've seen some using Drag Specialties HD master cylinder boots, for that purpose. Not exactly an exact replica and please check sizing before you purchase. https://www.denniskirk.com/1914111.sku?ad=81570026493983 https://www.jpcycles.com/product/2400757

You're correct, unless someone purchased a can of blue.

That or perhaps the kit version.

Thank you for your concern. Part of the small community where I live, was allowed to return today. Having been evacuated for 5 days, it's a wonderful feeling to come back to a still standing, undamaged home and property. I'm saddened for all those who suffered the loss of family members...

I also agree that the serial number doesn't mean much, regarding the specific year. I'd guess 66-67. Good luck with your project.
