Nope no Manco Dingo..

Thank you.i have searched for months and i couldn't find any marking on it anywhere.do you have anymore info about them and i need the huge tires at the place i ride.

You can run whatever tyres you want, as long as you compensate for that with your gear ratio

I just mentioned that so that in case everything else is original, you're not wondering why it burns clutches/belts like crazy

Sorry, not much info at all..
IIRC it came originally with a 5hp briggs and a series 30 TC, but IDK much which ratio it had originally..
I see your Torqueconverter has been replaced with a std belt pulleys which of course is removing all the benefit of having a TC and rendering your ratio nearly useless I'd assume.

Again, if I'm not mistaking it had 20" tyres on the rear and large diameter but narrow fronts (more like kid-bicycle wheels but sturdier of course) as well as a bicycle-style handle bar instead of a steering wheel.

I've seen a few around the forums and a sibling or two (slightly different Bird chassis)

Sorry, apart from that not much I can tell you about it.

[EDIT]
this is about as original as it gets (uhm bad shape but still ):

Thanks for the info i picked this up as only the frame for 40 and just threw a bunch of parts i had onto it but i got the tc coming in the mail.as for gearing im running 10/66 and probably dropping to 18 inch rear tires.

You will be asking for trouble, yes. It is the belts that will shred, not the TC itself. Belts can get expensive
