Local classified find

[Sprocket86]

Found this for a great price in my local classifieds.

The frame and forks are very rough and it looks vintage. Any ideas?

Pretty much got this for the 1991 3hp Briggs and the wheels/tires and the rest will end up on the scrap pile.

Oh that's pretty cool. The more I think about it the more I want to save it.

I'd be cool to see an original ad.

Don't trash it! Save it!

I know your right, I really should. It's very rough and would need major surgery.

Since it's missing most of the original parts, you could just straighten the forks, grind off the add-ons and drop a clone in it. It would be a nice little rider that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg

Hey that's a good idea. I'm not the biggest fans of "clone" OHV motors but they are plentiful and cheap. I like that it has a jack shaft, I've always wanted a mini with one. I've never liked using a cent clutch without one because the chain is so long and you need to use a rear sprocket that's almost the same size as the rear wheel to obtain the correct gear ratio lol. It would be neat to mount my 2 stroke Jacobson 321 engine!

Don't kill the Ffffooxx.

I won't. I hate seeing anything from the past that's interesting and has history get destroyed. It will serve as the "beater" for now.

It would be nice to find a good used fork.
