Picked up a second Mite this past weekend. This one is actually all put together & it runs! Needs paint & some work.
Although I saw these in VietNam, & have been assembling one for a couple of months, Sunday was the first time I ever drove one.
Kinda like a BIG go-kart!
Had to put it in storage...
I talked to BobW's son's old girlfriend. She's gonna pick up the Deuce & meet me in Northern Indiana. Sorry. :twisted:
She's still cute by the way, in spite of the weight she's put on.

No offense intended when I questioned your towbar's strength. And the "test" pull you did seems to prove me wrong.
What I should have said was that I didn't think yours was as strong as a military tow bar.
That's not to say yours isn't plenty strong enough.

Good idea, but I question the strength. There is a huge difference between the ability to simply lift a lot of weight, & the ability to tow a lot of weight while it is twisting & turning.

This comes up often.
I've heard $150 to $200 to have them rebuilt. Can't even guess at new cost.
Periodically used ones are available. Members on this site will probably speak up soon.
I recently bought a 24 volt 105 amp "civilian" type alternator for $110, which I plan to mount in a Deuce with...
I tried to buy the Mite on ebay, with the $6000 "Buy it Now". Was told auction was ended.
Contacted seller. He said still for sale, anxious to sell. I said I was really interested, please send a phone number.
Have sent 3 more messages, have gotten no response.
I guess he either changed his...
