Rescued from the trash bin.

[ES2Rider]

So I pulled this beauty out of the trash.
My brother and I had mini bikes as kids, and I just couldn't let it go to the dump.
Any idea what it is or where I can find stampings.
Thanks

It is a Sears sold bike, from right around 1976. small bike in the middle, the 80757 woud indiacate its actually from Sears, I dont know if they were made by or just another vendor but a company called ARA offered that odd line of bikes them as well at the same time and they called it a Trail scout. It was a short lived line of bikes, and you only see them for like a season or two, The ARA sold version form their 1976 catalog and below it is the 1976 Sears catalog (where yours came from) is below your engien configurations show like possibly 1975 build, it will be hard to get the numbers off it though due to the corrosion, they will be stamped across the top of the engine shroud up by the headbolts:

Thanks, you guys are good. I've got a Sears 106SS and a Montgomery Wards Mojave 260 also. The Trail Scout will fit in there real nice

Yes, it was in the trash. It looked like the house was being sold.
I had a bad feeling it was going to be crushed in the back of a trash truck.
I worked summers at a Honda dealer in the early 70's as a kid and saw a lot of old Hondas head off to the dump as scrap metal.

Looks to be a Tecumseh H30 or 35 in it, note the position of the intake and exhaust.

Yes, it's an H35, member Marcus helped me find the stampings.
Thanks
