Found this at an impromptu Yard Sale today.
She has the orig. lighted HS40 engine and is complete with the V-Plex converter system.
Fired right off with a squirt of ether.
Need to get a belt and replace the rear brake cable as it is froze.
Still has the tail light as well. Also got the orig air cleaner which is not shown in pics.

I have NO IDEA what the pink paint is about on one side of the rear swingarm but it needs to come off there pronto :)

Later,
Keith

Need to get a drive belt for this puppy. Does anyone have one that they could tell me the belt # I need?
This is the large rear driven clutch model which looks similar, yet different to a Comet.
Thanks,
Keith

I bought one of these MTD's about a month ago and the guy I bought it from said they changed this one when they could not get the belts for the original drive system , it has a Comet torq convertor setup on it now and a Tecumseh Enduro 5 horse engine . I got the original lighted Tecumseh motor with it but it smokes bad and is torn down getting a new look . The chrome parts on my bike is not in the best condition , but you dont get much for fifty bucks .
