Super Bronc 3 Project

[scottneidert]

About a month ago I purchased a frame for a VT-7 super bronc. Looking at the frame after I bought it I noticed that it was not correct. Someone had blown the engine at one time and custom bent the frame to fit a different engine in there, or at least thats what I think happened. So I decided to possibly not use that frame. Then i saw an add online for the Super Bronc 3 and decided to give it a shot.

It wont be exactly correct because the front tire will be the smaller tire with the VT-7 forks. But it should be fun.

I am still not exactly sure how I am going to do the back axle but I am thinking of just doing a live axle and put the break right on it, If any one has any thoughts on this let me know.

Here are just a few pics I took today. I will get more up but it probably wont be for another few weeks.


This is part of the frame, forks not pictured. I also already have a seat, fenders, and shocks not pictured.



The three turf tires with rims are what i am planning on using. The small tire for the front is the correct size that came on the VT-7. The two back tires are on the right size rims, but are a little bit smaller than the Super Bronc large tires, but they were free.

so I picking up a few things today and my plans have changed.
I was lucky enouf to find to VT-10 frames and one 10 HP motor.
Now my plan is to make one VT-7 and a VT-10 with electric start with all my combined parts.
Here are pics of my find.




also this clutch pictured above, I am thinking about selling it. I have no use for it. So if you are interested, make me an offer.
On a related note, I am looking for 2 torque converter set ups with brakes. I know this is almost impossible to find, but I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks guys.

hey scott.
i picked up a 10hp tecumseh with electric start today for my bronc trike project.

next week i`m buying some various size tires and wheels off a guy,..along with a original torque coverter from a super bronc.
no promises,.. but i can keep an eye out for what ever parts you may need.

make a list and post it under parts wanted.

good luck. ...

Good score! Wish I could find a 2nd bronc to fix up. The torque converter with brakes are hard to find but think making one would be easy. If you need some pictures to look at let me know.

Scott, nice finds, those bronc's are so cool! What size is that clutch bore?, I'm looking for a clutch for a tec 10 hp, that I took off an old riding lawn tractor, that I want to stick on an old go-cart that I got from StoneHedge, a go-cart track that was in Cauhoga Falls, they had belts on them but I'm a chain fan, let me know price, and size, and approx where you live, but shipping it would be probably better?

Its a 1" bore, here are some pictures. The guy a bought the bronc from said he rode it like that, so i am guessing it works ok, but i personly have never see it working. I am going to put an original torque converter on the the bike, so thats why i didnt mess with it at all. take a look and let me know if you are still interested. Thanks.
