Here are pictures of my MB. No, I did not build it. A very good friend of mine knew that I was looking for an MB and found it at a local swap meet.
After I repaired the carburetor and got it running well he gave it to me.

I am planning on building a 4-stroke Honda with a Gru-Bee GenIII transmission very soon.
I believe that the Hawthorne will get ruined by the ChinaGirl engine. It is old and allready has spokes broken by the rag mount sprocket, and the origional installer drilled a hole through the frame for the front mount. :( I really do not want to see the frame get broken because of the hole.......

Thank you.
Considering it is 57 years old, I decided not to restore it. I like the patina it has earned over the years.
No hair club for MB's or face lifts here!
