King Midget restoration

[Nubs]

Ever see one of these, had a fella drop off a 1963 at the shop this week. Been hangin' in the rafters of His shed since 1985, wants to get it runnin' first then a full restore in May. I never heard er' seen one before but I don't get out much I'm lookin' forward to it, I'll post some pictures this weekend

I always thought those were cool. That should be a fun build!

Nice restored machine. I've seen a few over the years, but none as sharp as the red one above.

Are you going to restore this to original condition or resto-mod? It would be interesting to see it with a t20 and maybe a 19hp Kohler efi.

[Andyman]

Looks in real nice condition, thanks for sharing

Not sure, it came new with a Wisconsin engine and now has a OH160 Tecumseh. Owner says he's not dead set on originally, found a few pictures of v-twins in em'.

[JoeMeg]

I vote for the V-twin .

[Noel Woods]

V twin Kohler 19-29hp efi gets my vote, maybe a t20, possibly a Dana or Spicer tranny.

I see the 68 listed a more powerful Kohler engine, any idea what that one was?

Wheel cylinders and Master cylinder ended up being from a Willys CJ2A



Had a starter/generator with the Wisconsin but its long gone, a one wire alt seemed the way to go.
