I took 13 motor pics. 8 in this post and 5 in the following post.

Hi all,
Last week I decided to sell my 1940 or 41 servi cycle. There are many written descriptions and photos in posts listed below. I have no idea of value. I live in Newington, Ct. and would like to sell locally. Can someone tell me what its worth? And, please make offers.

Thanks,

Thanks Rick. I also have all the original clutch, magneto and motor parts, Tillotson carb and muffler. The only thing that may be missing is the connecting rod retaining screw and front fender mounting bracket. I put a lot of pics of the original seat in the Tanks, Seat, Controls, section.

Thanks Rick. More pics.

Wow, what an informative site. The model year differences pdf, and sections on manuals and brochures are loaded with info. Member posts and photos are great. It almost makes me want to restore my old bike.

Thanks,

Correction on clutch pedal operation. It’s operated by left foot heel. Rear brake pedal is operated by right foot heel.

Also short fuel line is connected to bottom left side of tank. That line connects to small fitting welded to left side of flat bar about 2" below tank. Small filter bowl top connection screws into bottom of fitting. Another fuel line runs from filter bowl outlet to carb. Doomed, two plug, cylinder head and crankshaft are ones pictured in improvements for 1939, but connecting rod is older one with the screw-on flat spring that goes over the connecting rod crankshaft retaining screw.

Seat rests on round coil spring and has single leaf bolted to frame. Pics tomorrow, but I’m guessing it may be a 1940.

It also has heavy cast iron kick stand that swings out on left side.

Question about the brakes. I read that earlier drum brakes were stamped metal and later were cast iron. Is that the outer body of the brake, that spokes connect to, or is it something that requires brake disassembly to check?

That PAT. NO. 99301 still has me confused.

Thanks,

Hi all,

My cycle maybe from 40 to 42. The upright, that the handle bar mounts into, looks like it was cast and is marked PAT. NO. 99301. I looked up that pat# and it comes up as a patent for a meat chopper dated 1870. Has anyone seen anything like that?

Thanks,
