My New (To Me) MTD Minibike!

[Hexafluoride]

I picked up this MTD minibike today along with an old Kohler K91. The previous owner was a lifelong minibike enthusiast; He completely restored it, new paint, bearings, everything. The engine isn't original, but I believe it's the same model engine as was on there originally, a Tecumseh H50. It runs great and is a blast to ride. I've got a dynocams camshaft sitting on my shelf that I think will drop in. That, along with a billet rod and no governor, will really make this thing fly. There's a front and rear light, but they aren't hooked up, as there's no battery and this engine lacks a lighting coil. I've never seen a minibike like this, I didn't even know MTD made minibikes. Anybody have experience with these?

I had that bike in the early 80s...came with a 5HP two stroke, I will say the front fender looks different and the tail lamp was behind the seat...unless that is different than mine . My Buddy's dad worked for wards and scored a few of them.
