Good save Steve. Looks to be a Cat 4001 with those shocks. Wrong engine. Should be a Tecumseh HS40. If it has the switch plate on the top and original throttle and serviceable grips, that is a bonus. Switch plate if present and serviceable would be the most valuable piece on the bike, followed by kick stand, shocks, then stars and wheels if serviceable.

Yes. Very nice find !
I had a Cat MX Duster which is the same thing for the most part.
I really liked and enjoyed it.
That will be a great project. Congrats on the find!
