Very cool bike,Has a MTD head badge.I have not had any luck finding information.
If you have any info please let me know.
Wheels are not correct but it does look like it was a 3 or 5 speed at one time.Looks like it did have a shifter on the top bar.Seat is very nice still soft with no rips.

Pretty sure its a Murray,looks like their "Spaceliner" series frame in a 20" format.Seat & sissy bar look correct as well.The forks and their cap appear to be Murray...early to mid '70's I'd guess...Kool though...P 8)
 
I found an old ad it is an MTD wheel king.Looks like I need to find a 3 speed shifter and a set of fenders.
Will make a nice winter project.The head tube sticker is very off center.The other stickers are a little off also.
 
Hello Jaxon,
Not sure about the shifter.The one in the picture looks like a metal housing with a short stick and a round black shifter knob.
Thanks

i got from jaxon that's called the duchess! you have a duke or a king i'll show the ad!
 
Awesome find.

can't help with ID, but the guard looks like my Sears badged 5 speed I found this summer. been wondering who made it - still not certain the guard is original, so maybe someone changed it out.

any info on this one would be awesome, too...

Your chain guard is a little different, and you don't have the stick shifter, but it looks like a '72-ish Sear Spyder 5.

Does look like the guard is slightly different than the MTD, bummer. thought I was making progress.

The Spyder 5 in the ad definately looks Huffy built.

Mine I'm thinking more and more was Columbia built, looks like a Columbia chainring, and it has the 24 hole rims ( oddly enough the rear hub is a 48 hole laced every other hole, just wierd ) . Being a stem shifter, I figured it was like 74-75 but did not find any serial #s, might be filled in with paint, I have it partially torn down for clean now, will have to check closer.
Going to build as a survivor,no touch ups,etc 0 maybe convert to a stick shift though .

sorry for the hijack, lol.... back to the MTD pics :)
