Some one needs to tell proboards about fixing stuff that works right.(as in the old software) Also all the posts but one here would have been gone had there been a delete button to get rid of stuff that don't work right.

One can delete posts just got to learn how? On the right top part of the posting page there is a gear icon symbol

  with a drop down arrow. Click on the arrow and a pop up comes up with several options including "delete post".

Now i'm jealous JR you lucky slob,,,,,

Bike was a 52 Schwinn for my 6th birthday and the scooter is a two speed 52 Eagle, learned shifting at 6 and on my grandpa's farm I also drove a 49 Willy's Jeep truck when getting hay in the barn in the summer. Kids back then were told jump in and let's go while the older boys and adults loaded the truck down. By the time I was 12 I could drive anything.

But here is a model of the Eagle that if you run into is rare and very valuable:

This is the Model 762 Springer Eagle with centrifugal clutch and no transmission introduced in April, 1952. This was to be an economy model and came less the rack above the rear fender. Production lasted only about one year. Very rare.

We have a big car show in June on top of the mountain:  www.motaa.com/auto_shows%2013.htm

More and more motorcycles and old scooters are showing up, people swap, buy, look for parts and they have a auction too. I live 10 minutes from this and in 2012 a guy from Ft. Smith had one on display, it wasn't in mint condition  but would run. It auctioned for $7,300.

The old Allstate scooters by Sears were just rebranded machines from 48 to 54 if I remember right they were just plain Jane Cushmans, Sears didn't build any motorized scooter. They also were made by Puch and some were good machines, some were junk:

Cushman never did build a eagle series copy for Sears. I'm sure when Sears goes under soon and they will then old Allstates will go up in value. Most people who bought Sears products back then was because one if they had good credit could pay $5 a month for just about anything Sears sold. That's why they were always branded as "the working man's store".

Who sold this one?

My turn, officially 4" at my house. High today a blazing 37F, tomorrow, rain and 42F but Monday more snow predicted, Tuesday freezing rain? Lost power this past Monday for 7 hours, sure was glad to have the generator, she's a good one and can run the whole house with no difficulty including TV, central heat and other things.

These come with several engines but mine has the 17HP Kawasaki, nice set up.
