barn

My buddy Max & I picked up a neat old looking Rupp today. It looked very original to a particular year and model, but we don't easily recognize the unique traits that might differentiate... Could anyone help identify the year and Model?? Thanks you guys:thumbsup: the engine doesn't...

I picked this gem today in a barn right outside my hometown. A couple weeks before Christmas my dad told me he saw this mini bike in a barn that is rented for storage by the company he works for. I called the guy that owns the barn and it turns out the bike is owned by his brother so he told me...

Up for sale is a very nice original Aggie 97 Mini Bike. I'm hoping to pass it on to somebody who will love it, if not I will restore it. I took a bunch of pictures, the rear seat mount is broken off and attached to the seat. The seat has a few seams that are split and is pretty dry. The frame...

What I need is a simple Bright Lights/Loud Alarm and maybe 3-4 magnetic door sensors. What I do not want is cameras,cell phone hookups, etc. I know which side of the structure is vulnerable, we are light sleepers, and if it is bright and loud enough they will get out fast. When I check...

I mentioned to a friend that I am always looking for some Clinton mini bike specific parts and engines for my Cheeftah mini bikes. He told me he had a friend that had a bunch of old engines and parts and put me in touch. Today I had the opportunity to look around. Although I did not find...

That's right, the Butcher got this one and decided to turn it into a bike big enough for Shaq. Looks to me to be a VT-7 of unknown vintage. Has a Craftsman 6hp big block on it. Good part of the bike is it has a lot of good parts, Front wheel with working Brake, Jackshaft with Driven Torque...

Inherited 1960's Sportsman 700 Trail Scooter kept in old barn for 35 plus years. Only 1500 made in Denver, CO. Anyone have one or heard of this bike? Here are some pics of when it was pulled out of the barn and after cleaning it up a bit. Hoping to restore it but would love some guidance on...

Hello I just inherited a 1960's Sportsman 700 Trail Scooter which was sitting in a barn in Missouri for 35 years! It was manufactured in Denver, CO from 1966 to 1970 I believe. I was told only 1500 bikes were built. I am hoping that someone else has this bike. I am wanting to restore the...

This is a placeholder for the upcoming repair of an old TrailMate that was pulled from my uncles barn. Most parts are there and it is in good shape. A couple people asked for pics to start so here are some of the frame and engine. The clutch in the picture is a big deal (check this thread for...

Picked up in my last barn crawl. Ditched the 97cc putzmotor for a Predator 212 hemi and OldMiniBikes chinese TAV. It's a bit tight fit, but it can be done. Goes like you know what, but won't stop. Got the hydraulic rear brake kit on the way. This is as far as it goes for now, will totally redo in the...

A friend at work gave me this to fix for my kids. It sat in his father's barn for years. Anyone no what brand it is

Went crawling through a barn today. Any idea what these might be? I really like the skull. :smile: Thanks, Mark

Vintage Minibike Barn Find | eBay

Sometimes the "I know a guy who likes mini bikes friend of a friend" call pans out. Last year I found a disassembled Sears Drover spread out inside a barn and I mean spread out. Three story barn full of mostly car parts and three nice collectable cars you would never guess were there, and...

Found this in with some old paperwork, looks to be from the 60's or 70's: One of you southern boys take a ride down yonder and see what ol' Harold is up to...maybe there's still a barn full of stuff 'round back.

I contacted a guy who was selling a small cat roller on Craigslist this week. Told him I wanted to buy it. It still had the original brake caliper on it and looked to be in good condition. The following day I called him and said I'd have to pass on it because the engine mount holes were the...
