If ya can't find a rod, that tank would prob give ya some spending money.
On your doodle recoil, check with the guy past the hospital off 98 towards downtown. Little lawnmower repair place on the right. He's a good guy. :thumbsup:

After the model number, there should be a serial # on the tag. It'll start with SER , then should be four numbers, and sometimes a letter - for example - SER 1234A. Let us know what that is, we can probably narrow it down from there.

how much is the tank worth i never really thought it would be worth a hole lot

 

[buckeye]

Check ebay. You may be surprised what old tanks go for. It may be too big.:shrug:

Those motors are HH, which means Horizontal shaft, Heavy duty. The block on the HH motors is made out of cast iron, as opposed to the H series engines which are made out of cast aluminum. That one more than likely came on a Troy Bilt or a Wheel Horse roto tiller, they are desirable engines in the tiller crowd, because of their durability. Not really suited well for a minibike application because they are so HEAVY.

How much is the tank worth? you may be surprised. Being that it has a thrown rod and it's a HH motor, your best bet is to part it out on ebay, or just sell it whole for parts. Someone will buy it.

Lets see the PTO side, chances are that it may have a ball bearing side cover.:thumbsup:

ill get more pictures tomorrow i looked up a connecting rod for one they are 50 dollars i think ill part it out

 

[MB165]

Yep, what Mark G. says, good old engine, but those things are crazy heavy

 

[russicaismine]

where did you find the vin number

 

[buckeye]

See in the pic where he sanded? The shroud.

 

[cumminsbayou]

should i part it out or sell it as a hole

 

[cumminsbayou]

bump new pictures

 

[jbrewton]

has the bearing side cover I believe!

 

[cumminsbayou]

does that make it worth more

 

[jbrewton]

In my opinion yes, stronger motor and better workhorse but still heavy!

[jbrewton]

Well, if you're asking me I'd fix it. Don't think I 'm too clear on how bad of shape it's in????

If the block isn't damaged then I'd get a rod and piston and fix it up, nice looking motor. Maybe to heavy for a bike but I get it running for something, looks to be all there.

 

[cumminsbayou]

all it needs is the rod but they are 50 dollars i dont think the motors worth that even tho i anit got nothin in it

 

[jbrewton]

just depends who you might find that needs it?

The right person might give you a bunch, and to others it ain't worth tossing.

IF you don't want it list it up in CL or OldMiniBikes and see what takers you have? Shipping is the killer here on the net.
