Hope it will stay in it's unrestored state/ridden and enjoyed !!
Thanks,

Not garage saLe, maybe too close to the holidays, lack of money, not a complete unit, means you have to source a "D" motor I believe, or other variables. I know I bought my '74, complete with motor, but needing an overhaul for less than $300.
Not a D motor bike, it would be later with aluminum wheels, still way too much IMHO for an unrestored chassis with no engine. You can still find running Six Days bikes for that much. Mike

Thank you for the responses , figured I may be asking to much !
Interesting to hear about the D motor, someone recently mentioned to me cylinders for the D motor fetching upwards of $1400.00.
Most likely a blessing in disguise , its a piece of artwork to me.

I have a D cylinder, I be glad to take $1400.00 for it.
Thanks for looking , Happy New Year.
Thanks ,

Where in Ohio are you exactly? I have room for another 2-3 bikes on the way to the York swap meet Saturday, Jan 19th. If we met up I might be able to get it out there for someone. Mike

I imagine that Dan McEntee will get down there soon to get some more of his late brothers bikes, and might be able to help get your bike to a prospective buyer from St. Louis or Illinois, although probably not in time for the York Swap Meet. Mike

What would be the correct engine for this bike? Thanks
Mike says it shouldn't be a "D" motor, so I would say a "6 B" would fit the bill.
Hi , i am going to take another direction on this bike . Thank you everyone for looking !

If the bike was a six - day enduro, I believe the sachs motor was a B motor in 1974. The D motors were used for the motocross model from mid 1974 to 1975. If the vin was before June, 1974, the bike had a B motor in it. The experts can confim this comment.

Peter, I've heard you say this before, and I just want to set the record straight.
The Sachs "D" engines were not exclusively used in the '75 Penton MX model. Just as many are found in the Six-Day Enduro model.
I have a 1974 1/2 Enduro with a D motor.

I also have a 74 1/2 Enduro with a D Motor, that belonged to a dear friend of mine who passed a few years ago. It is in my shop at present as I am preparing it for auction this month.
It will be auctioned off at the York Swap Meet & Auction on Jan. 20

And just clarify, mine is original. It had 364 miles on the odometer when I got it.

Don't, for the most part, the D-engine bike have the aluminum wheels? Mike

Rob,
thanks for the feedback. I didn't know. However, now I will pay close attention to the used six-days around new england which are 74 and a half plus. There is one in NH. i should therefore go look at to see if it has a D motor in it. keep in touch.

Maybe you guys can figure out what the heck this one is, I know it doesn't add up to me...
Frame build date is 403, March of 1974.
D cylinder with drill holes on each side for wire seal.
The head is not drilled.
The forks are the longer 35mm with ribbs.
There is a F stamped behind the oil fill plug.
6/1 is stamped on the top of the left engine case.
Koni shocks.
Steel wheels.
Oblong throttle like on the early Steel Tankers.
The sidecover is from a 100 6/B
55mm piston.
The frame has the loops for bungie tank hold downs.
Fiberglass exhaust cover.
Is this build date earlier than the other D powered machines? I also thought these forks were usually found on much later machines.
I plan on bringing this machine to York along with several others.
Any comments and thoughts are appreciated:) It just seems like an early biuld date for the cylinder and forks, but maybe you guys see it differently.

I guess that, in conjunction with a possible purchase of this Six Day (less engine), I would be looking for a suitable engine. Will someone please respond in general terms with the price and availability of a running engine with a functioning gearbox for this bike?
