Welcome to the forum. I think you are going to have fun. You have plenty of time to build a motorized bike and sort it out before warm weather.

What engine is it? I've seen one like it before, but my tired memory can't tell me what it is.

Is it one of these? Model L is my thought. http://www.asecc.com/data/briggs/engnotes.html

Thanks all. It is a FH. It was stuck solid so we took it apart and in the process of cleaning it up. I should have it running tomorrow.

Is that a Huffy Cranbrook? Just kidding. Yeah, I'll keep an eye on the progress too. Good luck and keep the pictures coming.. If this thing gets restored / built...I'll be pretty impressed..
