wards

Hi - newbie, not really a minibike guy but a Wards guy. Got a Benelli 175 and Lambretta 125 Riversides in the garage alongside this XE525. 1. Is this an XE525? Says that on the chainguard (not installed), on the tag it says Model GIL-13988A. I know it's not the orig engine. About what...

As the stock footrest was forcibly removed I created a new one. Flame cut a couple feet based off a VW gas pedal foot and mocked it up till it felt right

Used a yerfdog power train ( plate reversed) for power

What were the years of production for the Wards terrain cycle? I have one that is over 40 years old. Has the original Tecumseh engine .

Looking for one, any condition....

Hi Guys, Here is an original steel chain guard for a Gilson mini bike. Someone painted over the chrome at some point. It's in nice shape without any tears or obvious damage. I would like to trade it for a two piece guard for my Cat Wildcat or one for the Bonanza MX1310. Please shoot me a PM...

Re worked a yerf-dog drive system to work on the trike Had to move the engine back to correct belt spacing. Will also have to add shims to move the motor up to clear the chain

For whatever reason, the drums were cut off the original hubs. A little work on the lathe and mill fixed that problem. Also fabricated new mounts for the band brakes. For some reason the chain guard was missing.

Here is a pic of a brake band bracket off a Montgomery wards 525. In the pin is a small hole, should there be a cotter pin in there to keep the pin from sliding out, I'm assuming so, what does yours have? Thanks

Picked up a Montgomery Wards 525 Mini Bike. Never finished my Trail Blazer project yet either, that is another story. Took a lot of flack from my Wife, "What do we need that for", but got a good deal so here it sits in my garage. Or at least seemed like a deal, till I dug into it. He said it...

What would a bike like that in good condition be worth and how fast are they?

This is another nice little ride I picked up yesterday , Montgomery Wards Mini Bike looks like the 424 model in the brochure . This is a complete bike with motor and a box with the rest of the parts for the bike , it is rare :laugh: to get all the parts with a bike anymore so even after telling...

One last item, this is the factory brake band, bracket, and drum off of the 525 I built. I did a custom brake setup. The band itself is pretty much shot, but the drum and bracket is in good useable shape. I dont know what to price these, but how about $25 shipped UPS ground? Paypal accepted...

These were left over from my tandem build. Someone has brazed the cracks on the front fender and did some work to it. The rear fender has all 3 supports attatched, but does have one smaller crack. The chain guard looks excellent. I'll do $25 with free shipping, and about half of that will be...

Okay....it has a foot brake, and 5 inch tires. I put the seat on from another mini. Looks like a standard edger briggs 2.5 replacement, but it has a tank brace and front of block says Montgomery Ward, Dependable. ????

:shrug:

Here is the rim half I'm looking for to finish making a roller. They came on three different name bikes. Montgomery Wards, Gilsons, and Allis-Chalmers.
