I have this mini bike, im not really sure what it is called. I think its a cat but i dont know the year. The engine i got from a friend and i think its briggs and straton or sears, has the modle and serial, no name. I woul like to know more about the engine, and know more about the break system on the frame. im trying to put the disc breaks brakes back on through OldMiniBikes warehouse but have rear wheel that has drumb breaks. Want to buy wheel and hub assembly from OldMiniBikes to match the 68 tooth sprocket i already bought. Can anoyone help me out? Thanks.

That's a Cat Eliminator.

Wheels look like they're off a Trailhorse

The engine you have is a Tecumseh, which is the make of the original engine. The original disk caliper was a Kelsey Hayes -- I think it was a 200M if I'm not mistaken.

The engine is Tecumseh , made for Craftsman , not original as it's a side popper not rear exhaust !

Nice front fender and switch plate

What sprocket did you buy Steve ?? Is it a set of trail horse wheels you have ?? Really your best bet would be to find a set of cat wheels and stars and sell me the trail horse wheels to help with the cost !!! Lol

It's not an MX. No rear tab for the chain guard, and it has a disk brake bracket (the Duster MX used a drum brake). Can't be a 400x, because the 400 didn't have front suspension (not this stlye anyway). That only leaves one
