US90 or ATC90

[Nuke Em]

I need another project like I need a another hole in my head, good thing is the ol lady will never notice one more project in the row, lol. I got what I thought is a good buy...$250.

I have not had a chance to really check it out. The guy said it ran good one day then would not start the next and thought it may be points. I tried the pull starter and it felt like really low compression. Serial numbers say US90 but the stickers say atc90. Anyone no what year it may be? There is no sticker.

Oh, it has a metal front fender and a fiberglass rear.

That is either a 72 or 73 model. Someone will be better able to identify. I have one of the same year (Same decals and tank - but only in green) and I always call it a US 90 - even though the decals are ATC90.

All the balloon tire models are us90 models. The real atc90 didn't start until they changed to conventional tires. Whatever you do, don't overinflate those tires! You may even want to get the wheel adapters to ride that trike around and save those balloon tires. The balloon tires are good for display, but will be heck to replace if you trash one. You need to pick you up some accessories for that trike. Rubber fender edges and grommets and taillight are just a few of the things you can get that are factory correct. Nice sale for $250. You need to check the specs on those tires to see if they are any good. I can't remember but I think the owners manual gives you the spec. The spec has to do with tire circumference at a certain tire pressure. If they are out of spec, then the tires can be dangerous. Too many people pay big money for used tires that are technically trash, so be careful. Looks like it would be pretty easy to clean up and make really nice. Fiberglass rear fenders and metal front fenders are correct for the trike. Have fun cleaning it up.

You have a very early 1972 US90. Looks like 3626. That number could vary by a hundred or so but it is still an early 1972. You got a deal, may be the deal of the year.

[keister]

^^^ Agreed. You could sell it for twice what you paid and that buyer would be getting a great deal.

Thanks for the info guys. Guess its time to find a manual for it.

Hey Pete, Thanks for the info. Amazing how many Pilot/Oddy guys are on here too. It looks like you are big into restoring toys back to original. I have quite a few clean OEM trike parts and engines if something like that toots your horn for trade on the 350 parts. I recently picked up some nice 82/83(?) 200X stuff too. Maybe even work out something on the US90 if you need another project. I know those ballon tires have some round patches on them.
