I would like to purchase an early Taco roller or frame to put my West Bend 580 or Clinton Panther in. Would love a Burrito, Frijole, Taco 33, 55 or any Series 1 model. Just want a restorable project. Cash or possibly trade my nos Clinton A400 Panther motor. Cheers, Oscar

The price is fair considering it has the original brakes, wheels, front forks and good frames. Most Taco buyers want the original thing. Those parts are hard to find in good shape individually. Too many guys will part a bike out and try and make a killing on those parts. Cheapest way to get the...

Sell me the Taco cover and Briggs fan shroud! And maybe the frame and the rest of it! :)

Yup, always buy shop manuals for all your service work. My dad was a mechanic and I learned early on that professional service manuals were a must have for all of your vehicles.

Those carbs were used on the Stihl chainsaws.

Any chance to see a pic of the dents?

Any chance of posting some pics? I have a 66 I will be restoring as well. :)

Hello, I am looking to purchase a complete Taco 22 brake assembly. Not looking for the paddle brake, but the drum brake setup. Thanks!

Also with gear ratios, consider the riders weight. It doesn't take must low end to get a bike going with a 90 pound rider. Things change when you put some 200 pounds on.

Great bike. We need to start a thread on old Taco painted red or orange. Every bike I have bought has been the standard "used Taco red" . What is with that.

If you Taco does not have the kill switch on the Briggs, most small engine shops have them in stock. There is a long version and short version depending on which plug you use. I paid ~$7.00 each.

That was on my Taco 22 with the Tristar 5" wheel. It actually has a wider hub then the 6" Tristar which pushes the sprocket out even further. I kept the rear wheel centered and purchased a Briggs engine adaptor plate which I modified to offset the engine which allowed me to center the engine...

Thanks! I will. Looking for a tube swing arm model.

No, he decided not to sell it.
