    My dad just picked this up over the weekend and we really don't know much about it at all. I know i've seen some quarter midget postst before with a lot of good info so I thought I'd throw some pictures out there and see if anyone knew anything about this thing. My dad bought it thinking it was a quartermidget but we are thinking it's bigger then that and was definitely front engined so maybe three quarter midget???? Any info is appreciated!!

    It is either a Three quarter or a early micro midget. The wheel base and tire size will tell you if it is a TQ or micro. Most TQ's used a differential or rear axle. Conversly most micro's were chain drive. Very early micro's were front engine and then later ones were rear engine.

    The front axle is from a Crosley, and so is the differential.

    By the look of the motor mounts i don't think it was Crosley powered. Some sort of motorcycle engine with chain drive
