| I'm leaning more towards a trailer wheel or similar. The hardest part is making sure the wheel fits a common highway tire size. I've found cheap go kart brake calipers, which will be good enough for now. I can machine my own spindles better than what I've seen on go kart parts websites, and I can make brackets for a disc brake to mount up easily enough, and probably the disc too. I'll have plenty of time to do that this winter.
Oh, on a positive note, someone identified my engine as a 16HP briggs flathead. That explains the large torque at low speeds. That's plenty enough horsepower to get me to highway speeds without any trouble. I also have a close enough model number to get replacement parts if I need them. | |

| Oh ya an old cast iron 16hp B&S is more than enough! I have one, it's a 1977 model 326434 0023-01 and same as yours has a starter/generator. Is your model and date code not stamped on the top of the fan shroud? | |

| Nah, all identifying marks and nameplates are long gone. Only thing left is the briggs symbol pressed into the blower shield. I haven't taken the cover off so I don't know if there's any information on the flywheel.
The starter-generator wasn't on the engine originally. I added that. | |

| Should be stamped into the steel fan shroud probably somewhere under where you coil is located or on the curve under the gas tank. In your case, the starter which I believe was a plate that I see was removed on yours. I'd still check under the coil. Maybe get lucky. !["The Mowercycle" a microcar road legal trike - Page 3 Thumb10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/thumb10.gif) | |
