You may very well be right, if you "zoom in" on the first picture, it kinda looks like it has bolts in the tops of the spindles. However, if this should turn out to be a very early "O" that has had the frame replaced, I'm guessing that there is no reason that the front axle couldn't be original to the replacement frame.

On a side note, I would think that it wouldn't take a whole lot to "forge" a very early Original.

I'm guessing that about all you would really have to have is a 3 digit reduction housing, an old style frame, thin axle, old style dash tower, and a recoil engine.

Couldn't the rest of the parts be donated from a "newer" Original?

In any event, I'm guessing that this fellow really believes he has what he says he has, but I'm guessing that he is reading something other than the actual serial number.

Perhaps we should call Myth Busters or History Detectives to help us clear this up.

Prolly just a plain old original. The whole XX out of XX makes no sense whatsoever. Wrong spindles, creeper hole, wrong tread plates, rear rims with the larger slots, etc, etc. Of course, stuff could have been changed, but everything's not adding up. But why would it. It was built in 1959.

I hope for all involved it is the real deal. I'll let everyone know tomorrow. Looking at it in the morning.





Just joking!!!!!!!!

It's all yours or Jonathon's...........
For the asking price, I'd rather have a nicely optioned 882 or 1512.

I agree.

As silly as it seems.... usually when I see something like XX out of XX, I think of something meant to be collectible. So my first thought is something of a reproduction type of collectible. Generally, anything made to be collectible don't hold much value.

Im more curious then anything. If I were paying that much it best have a smoker under the hood with a few goodies
