Montgomery Ward T777/CESTAD Buffalo ?????

[monty]

Saw this in an add. Looks like a Montgomery Ward T777 or CESTAD Buffalo, but I have never seen one with rear suspension.

Any Ideas on what this could be ? Your help would be much appreciated.

I spoke with the owner and he told me it has a TOTE GOTE label on the front fork plate.

I searched the Tote Gote sites and couldn't find any info on a model like this.

I understand that the Bonham Tote Gote branch of the company made alot of prototypes and small production runs of mini bikes that have very little to no documentation at all.

Anybody see one of these before or knows anything about this model ????

G.D Dodge.... you are getting pretty smart with these old bikes. :thumbsup: Yeah, I couldn't say for sure what it IS but I know for a fact it is not a Tote Gote. They never made anything like that.
