Yes. It does have female threads. You see that as a possible problem? Maybe a weaker shaft? I had thought about that. I'm going to fill it with a grade eight bolt. Not sure if that would be needed But that should provide the strength just in case. Anything else I'm missing about that?

Yes it does have a water pump on it. I have another engine with the same pump on it. That pump is bad. This pump is going on it.

I've checked out the handle bars. They are solid.

They do like original. They have been rechromed though. No whitewall on the tires. Tread may be close. He didn't prove a good picture of it. Wish I did have a NOS '70s engine to put on it. I'm liable to come up with something. I could still use this motor for the little goKart I'm building.

This is the picture off Ebay of the motor I'm going to put on it. It would be a little trouble to go dig it out and unbox it. So I'm just using this. This is the guy I bought it from. He had three. So that may or may not be mine. But heck, They were all three the same. LOL. I'm not a purest but...

Yes. Looks like I have a Scat Cat SC114. Made in Taiwan. Even the tread on my old tires match the one in the picture. I have a Genuine Buddy 125cc. Which was also made in Taiwan. What I have learned from it is they don't make cheap Chinese bikes like some people think. At least with the Genuine...

Different culture? Age group? That maybe. Here's a picture of me with my first mini bike and my brothers and sisters. . That would around 1969. At age 11 I got a paper route. First thing I bought was an 8-track tape player for my room. Next was this mini bike. It was sold by Otascos. It said...

Looks like I finally got confirmed. I used an email address from "Hide my email" and it worked thanks

Shows I joined on Sept. 8th. Just never got a confirmation email so I can post. Messaged them again just last week. Guess maybe I can try a new email. I'll get my Wife to try to join.

I've tried that page. Many times. I've yet to receive a confirmation email. And no reply to my question as to why not.

Rad? What you mean? Rat Rod maybe? Looks factory. Only real rust is the rims and seat pan. Like I said I got new wheels on the way. Yard art? Not my idea of art. There's no reason this bike can't be put back in service where it should be.

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I've been trying to figure out what minibike I have. I haven't been able to find an image of another one like it. First I thought it was a Rupp. Recently I've seen some wheel on Ebay with hubs just like mine. It said they were from a Bonanza 1310 TCS. Looking the...
