Good Evening. Today I picked up a Manco Big Cat at a swap met. I removed the Tecumseh OHV 5 HP and installed a broken in Hemi Predator so far. I noticed that there is play in the neck bearings. Do you know exactly what bearings are used in that neck? Everyone says to get bicycle bearings. It...

I need the roller bearing, seal and cap that holds the inner rod and the outer axle tube for an El Burro. I think it is the original axle, it has been converted to use bolt on wheels instead of the original all in one tire and rim. If you could tell me where to get one, or sell me a used one I...

I have an El Burro set up with a clutch and an 8 HP engine. The tires are bolt on type, the previous owner made an adapter to get away from the all in one tires. The end of the front axle has bearing cups. One of the bearings is starting to break up. Can anyone give me a tip on where to buy a...

I hope to end up with two minibikes. I currently have an El Burro that is very nice and a also nice Manco Big Cat. The Big Cat is what I am most willing to let go. The one I want to find is a Trail Buck by Pacesetter. I rode one back in the 70's and was impressed with it. My cousin had it and...

You are looking at a Manco Big Cat minibike. It is even more fun than it looks. It has a strong Predator engine with a full flow air filter and a custom exhaust silencer. I double wrapped the exhaust with header tape and shielded the nearby areas with aluminum sheeting. It has a torque...

You are looking at an El Burro minibike. It was made in Michigan, I assume back in the 70's. I got it from the son of the original owner at Thanksgiving time. It had an 8 HP Briggs engine that had been converted to rope start and that seemed a little tired. I removed that and installed a very...

I picked up an El Burro sand and snow minibike this weekend. It should be called a Maxibike. What a wonderful, huge old beast. I ran it today and realized that it ran rough because of a filthy spark plug and the plug was filthy because it burns oil really bad. I got it from a fellow how is 56...

Good Evening All, About 4 years ago I finally got my hands on a larger Harrison frame. I had seen it about 10 years earlier in a neighbors garage. I never horde myself of course. I started with a 5 HP Honda OHC with a torque converter. It was plenty fun, so I went to a 6 HP OHC and it was...
