While hauling a bunch of Ford Model T's I bought off a property on Sunday I found this Smith Motor Wheel and got it thrown in with the cars. The only thing missing is the spark plug. Otherwise it's all there. It's froze up from sitting. I have some chunks of the old tire that was on it, (It had a white tire) Here's my questions... What's it worth in this condition? Thanks everyone.

_Looks like they disconnected the fuel line to drain the tank and set aside... One broken fin on the cylinder

It's missing a little more than that. I don't see any of the handlebar controls or the mounting brackets to attach it to a bicycle. Still a good find.

I am sure there is someone out there looking for parts--remember--one mans junk is another's treasure.

Nice. I am currently restoring a motor wheel and have most of the parts. The value is a good question...not many have sold online and yours appears to be in need of a lot. Parts to restore this engine are almost impossible to find. I would look to purchase as a conversation piece and keep it as it is if that is of interest to you.

Cleaned it up a little and threw a tire on it, I think it looks a lot better. As for selling it, probably not. I'd like to find the right bicycle to display it on just like it is.

Wow, you don't waste any time! Where'd you get the tire? Are you going to try to rebuild it?
