Thank you! Yes it is mine. It is a 1973 Servi. They were all powered the same from 1932-1973, with a 45" flathead V-2 engine putting out a whopping 22 HP. Most had 3 speed forward with a reverse gear. Mine will run 45 tops, others are geared differently to allow for more speed- I wouldn't make it up hills around here if it were that way.
They use full size GM alternators and have a full size battery in the trunk because many were used by service stations for road calls and car returns (the mechanic could hook his servi-car to the bumper of a repaired car, deliver it back to the owner, then ride the servi-car home).
The earlier versions with the springer front ends and wooden boxes were cooler looking than mine. Like most of my rideable antiques, it impossible not to smile while riding it!
