    Hey bear found pics yea late 70,s early eighty,s,with the Tecumseh single banger,mechanical brakes,they were a decent stick wouldn't break any speed records but they lasted well,should be a ton of parts out there lots were sold back then,too bad I did a huge clean out awhile ago and tossed out boxes of parts that would have fit that,but if anything turns up on my next purge I will let you know.Cheers N.C.T

                if it is the sheer pin style, just knock the pins out, hose it down with your choice of PB blaster, WD 40, liquid wrench or what ever in any combination of and drive it around the yard. It will free itself eventualy from the sprockets... just make sure that you dont get too far from home, kind of embarasing if you have to walk back
