    Murray Wildcat?

    Thanks, I fixed the link. I'm pretty sure it's a 76 Wildcat 3 found a catalog here: http://classicmusclebike.yuku.com/topic/2207/Murray-Ad-s-Patents#.UD7OAmt5mSP Everything matches including the head tube sticker. Now it might be earlier but it's not a 71, the head tube sticker is different...

    Original Shimano 333 Install and tune instructions

    Stumbled upon these and thought they might be a good resource for any new Rat Rodder with an old 333 hub. When I bought my bike it had a hub and bell housing and that's it, I had a very hard time finding anything that told me how to actually install the bellhousing and tune the cable to shift...

    Shimano 333 bolt pattern

    Thanks for the link I had seen his site previously and he didn't really have any good setup info about the 333 just more history info, however I stumbled upon these and are great info for anyone wanting to know how to install or setup an old 333.

    Not sure how the wheel size affects it, first setup I've eve had like this so nothing to compare to. That back wheel is all out of whack so it gets a little scary at speed but it moves right along. I've decided to rebuild the bike with the motor so I will be starting a build thread if you want...

    It would be awesome if you found the link, I can't find anything for the 333 anywhere!

    Shimano 333 bolt pattern

    I think I sorted it out, the lock nut your speaking of he had cranked down to tighten down the sissy bar causing the bellhousing nut to thread all the way down and get screwed up on the sissy bar. So what is the order that people generally go in other words, the axle goes in the guides and...

    Shimano 333 bolt pattern

    Ok cool, good info, however I don't have a shifter or cable, the bike did not come with one, so I would still like to see a close up picture of the whole thing (at the hub) cabled. In my search for a shifter I have come across different cable guides and what not and am really not sure in detail...

    Shimano 333 bolt pattern

    Anyone have or could take a nice close up pict of their Shimano 333 hub from the shifter side. My bike has the hub and the little lever that the shift cable hooks up to but the guy I bought if from had the lever all bent up cause it hits the sissy bar when you tr y to tighten it with out pulling...

    East Coast Representing!

    Hey everyone new to the site and a newbie to the old school muscle bike scene (was part of the actual scene in the 70s). Anyway I'm located in CT on the coast and just picked up a sweet little Murray wildcat it appears, has a skyhawk 48cc motor kit on it. Not sure what my intentions are with it...

    Murray Wildcat?

    Wow great stuff, thank you! It certainly looks like a wildcat, although the bike in that picture and the ones on the muscle bike forums all seem to have coaster brakes so I wonder if the 3 speed was an option in later bike or if its not original. Any idea where the serial might be? I looked...

    Murray Wildcat?

    New to this forum, just picked up this little Gem with a 48CC motor kit on it. Trying to determine exactly what it is and if it's worth a proper restore or keep the motor on it and make a chopped up toy. The only markings on the bike is the Murray sticker on he headset tube, I can't find any...
