Wards mini ?

[Igottabike2]

Just picked this up today and I think this big a$$ thing shouldn't be considered a mini because next to my Harrison it's huge. 6 feet long all solid frame and finally some thing to put my 8 hp Tecumseh on.

WOW. That thing is a BEAST. That poor little engine looks totally lost.

That little five would have a hard time with this bike I think but it gives me another engine for some thing else.:smile:

Here you go. This is a page out of the Montgomery Wards 1975 catalog.

Very cool! Looks like it could climb a mountain.
Who would have thunk-it, big department stores used to sell cool stuff that wasn't electronic?

Wow........I like those huge wheels.
Are they 8" rims?
It must use a couple of jackshafts to power it.

I love it!
I am getting rid of all these little mini's. Just so I can buy fat tire bikes like that!

Thanks SimpleTom that lets me know a lot more about the bike for sure.

Yes Mac the rims are 8" and I was planing on putting a torque converter on it and after seeing the ad that's what it would have had so that's cool. The pics are the shroud from the engine I'm going to put on it I'm not sure of the year but I'm thinking 1987 and I would like to put electric start on it but thing's work around the wallet and the wallet likes to say no.
