Vintage RUPP Services and Parts Manual

Offered is a HUGE vintage RUPP Service and Parts Manual. This dates at least back to 1969 as noted on some paperwork inside.

Still in it’s original binder-which is in excellent shape, are several sections of topics listed below.

Interesting reading and a reminder of my friends Go-Kart back in the sixties!

It seems that Service Bulletins sent to the Dealers would insert updates as many pages and topics of things like Accessories, Repairs, Assembly etc, are mostly dated different.

I notice the contents are not numbered sequentially. Most pages are in color yet some are white and there may be some copies? And should that be the case, it could be factory copies if that is in fact, true. Colors of the contents seem consistent as this old book is in surprisingly good condition. No greasy fingerprints, torn pages, etc. 

So, is it complete-I don’t know??

Does it have outdated information-well, at over 40 plus years old I would say the whole book is outdated!

But still, great reading and could be a great help to someone restoring or trying to identify what part goes where. It also lists what specific engine was used by model & part numbers used by both RUPP and Tecumseh!

I can also tell you there is a load of information on RUPP Mini Bikes, Go-Karts, The Ruppster, a Go-Kart with a body that looks like a Corvette called The Chevy Junior, Accessory Installation for headlights, a gas tank, several snowmobiles, parts, service etc, etc...etc. And there is a lot of info for the snowmobilers packed inside. Those were obviously more intricate and consisted of many more parts than the Karts and Mini-bikes.

Also included are a couple of after market catalogs from persons that dealt with this old stuff.

At almost 4 inches thick and 11-1/2 pounds, there must be something here for any RUPP enthusiast!

And NO Musty Odor!

Shipping~I want this to get to you fast and damage free. I chose Flat Rate/Insured Priority Mail via the United States Post Office (to the lower 48 States). I was going to ship Media Mail however when insurance and signature delivery confirmation is added to the cost, Priority Mail is just a few dollars more and the package will normally arrive in 2-3 days. Media mail-who knows??

The sections are as follows.

-Master Parts/Price Manual

-Ruppster Kits and Accessories

-Warranty and Service Procedure

-Karts

-Service Letters

-Kart Service Bulletins

-Parts and Bulletins

-Kart Parts Manual

-Cycles

-Snowmobile

-Cycles service Bulletins

-Snowmobile Service Bulletins

-Cycle Parts Manuals

-Snowmobile Service Manual

-Cycle Kits and Accessories

-Snowmobile Parts Manual

-Ruppster

-Snowmobile Kits and Accessories

-Ruppster Service Bulletin

-Carburetor Parts Manual

-Ruppster Service Manual

-Rupp Engine Parts Manual

-Ruppster Parts Manual

So just what is this boat anchor of a book worth? You tell me...

Because the shipping is rather costly, opening bid is only $5.00 (FIVE BUCKS!) and this will be sold with NO RESERVE!

Any questions-please ask PRIOR to bidding.

Thanks for looking!
