    What Year/Model Rupp Is This?

    This brings up an interesting point, probably for another thread. What I do to return it to stock will be only for personal satisfaction. People get really tied up into returning things to exact stock. For me, I don't think there is any chance a museum will be intested in my work. Also...

    What Year/Model Rupp Is This?

    Sounds like we are arriving at the conclusion it's a 1969 Digger. I'll leave it open a bit longer in case any ohters want to add to it. Also, maybe we'll hear from Bandit 40 again to see if he is so swayed. I appreciate all your help. It will give me more confidence when sourcing parts...

    Minibike forensics! I've only started studying the subject in the last week, so I've got alot to learn. Sounds like there might be 2 votes for Digger? Dave

    This unit was purchased with wheels (only rear wheel was original) for $75. Finding parts means I need to know the year at least. I saw a photo of a C-350 and It looks very similar. Wad-ya-think? Including photo of rear brake plate as there seems to be a split in model years depending on...

    Rupp 13774 Brake Lever

    I have a Rupp 4 1/4" brake. It's missing the brake actuator lever. The lever the cable pulls on. I found the levers on ebay however they have an oval hole. This lever should be one with a square hole. I'm not certain but I think this is off a 68 or 69 Rupp C-350. Any ideas accepted to...
