Moved this here and have some questions. Please feel free to comment I've developed thick skin from the bicycle hobby. This will not be a restoration as much as a Rustoration and I have been known to bail on things like this pretty often. 
.jpg[/IMG][/URL]As found. Motor as found.
Had some old ww tires to get it rolling on, bathed it in wd40, cleaned motor a little then mocked it in for photos. I think it is probably 45-47 kickstand is on left rear. Motor no 1723. Where does bracket that holds choke and throttle cable mount? What is in breather it is not accessible that I can tell. No frame numbers I can find. Is this a single speed unit? Motor is back in box and I'm going to see an old machinist friend who will mic things for me. Anyone know of speed record for this type unit? Thanks Rick

He turned me loose in a shop full of stuff some would call junk. Motor was in a clear plastic tub in plain site I just caught a glimpse of cylinder and knew that was it. Still mulling different ideas about what to do with it. Gonna clean motor up today stick it in frame and try to understand how clutch system works. Will post up a pic of it when I get it together.

I think shaft with gear got dropped in box as I see no use for it in motor but will not discard until I determine that. Rick

Collect and ride balloon tire bikes, love the ones from the thirties, Colson, Shelby, etc. If you mean front hub drum brakes I have none of those. Own one kinda rare internal disc brake front hub, lots of different types of rear hubs and parts if you need something. Calling it a night here. Thanks for welcome. Rick

I've been lurking here reading and absorbing. Today I finally got together with the owner and alas he cannot find the motor. I have frame in my possession and will attempt to free up some stuck items and hope he finds motor. He believes it to be late 40s as do I after reading here. Learned opinions are very welcome as I know nothing about these machines. If he cannot find it I may look f
