Barn-fresh Fox Campus bike

[Fox1338]

Some of you wanted to see pictures of our Fox Campus bike, so here they are. We were cleaning out the barn and decided to keep the mini bike out of sentimental value, but after finding this website we are interested in restoring it.

My parents bought it for us kids new in 1968, and it has never been off the farm in Central PA. It has no compression so I removed the engine from the frame and took off the cylinder head. Looks like a broken connecting rod. When I turn the engine sideways I can hear parts rolling around in the crankcase.

ETA, I just noticed the oranges, LOL. My grandparents always gave us oranges for Christmas! I've carried that tradition on with my Daughter. Santa put's them in her stocking.
