No, it’s not mine and I don’t have one.

I actually do have one stuck away in the back of my shed. A Manco Quester 310 from the mid 70's that I bought from the original owner in the mid 90's. I will definitely be taking pics when I drag it out to freshen it up, since it is different in several areas from any of the pics of them I've found on the i-net. This one has an 8 hp electric start Kohler, (instead of the common Briggs) which you can also pull start with a detached rope. A Comet converter feeding into a F-n-R chain drive enclosure. I have seen the same drivetrain in old golf karts. It has a rear disc brake, instead of a drum. And the front forks have shocks and springs mounted on a pivot arm - also with a disc brake. Others I see are always a solid fork and a drum brake. It has a front rack under the headlight, and I have the complete rear rack for it. Only thing it is missing is the original front fender, which the original owner broke and replaced with a piece of conveyor rubber. The front fender is the only thing I have any reason to believe is not original, but it is definitely equipped differently than any others I've seen.
