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 just needed air in the rear tire. Well, tube is shot, rear bearings need replaced, brake assembly and spacers of rear shaft is missing some parts. Motor runs but doesn't idle. A lot of minor stuff. He said it was rusty, so he had it all painted up, different color, said he couldn't find the original color in spray paint. I'm just hoping the paint sticks and rust doesn't start showing again, ran into that on my trail blazer project. The motor is a 5 hp Tecumseh, that runs but doesn't idle. Can't find any model number on it, as it is all painted white. So I'm gonna order a tube, and bearings and other parts. The question I have and maybe some of the experts on here can help me. What would the band brake assembly and rear wheel shaft assembly on this look like? Seems like parts are missing. Does anyone have pics of this? Also, where underneath all that paint on the motor would I find a model/serial number? May need a carb kit for it?
