Picked up a New three wheeler today.

[zppeacock]

Picked it up today from a guy who left it in his parents barn when He moved to the city. Its got the original tool kit and owners manual. Needs some work but for $100 it wasn't bad. Runs and drives just fine. Going to probably convert it back to a 4.

hahahaha now that is some custom work, must have come from somewhere with snow, looks like a snow ski to me.

[MonroeMike]

What did he do originally, damage the front?

[Thorpe]

Wtf?.............

[dirt_19]

that is a blade from a piece of agricultural equipment

[dirt_19]

weird is all i can say

[lndy650]

looks like someone didnt have a tire and was really desperate to ride... its a single ski 3 wheeled deathtrap

[zppeacock]

that is a blade from a piece of agricultural equipment

Yes, thats what he told me, he lived on a farm and didnt want to buy a new spindle/hub.


What did he do originally, damage the front?

He was riding it down the road and the front tire came flying off ( the bearings failed) if he would of been riding in the grass it would of been salvage able. Its accually not that bad to ride.

[trikerooster]

Danger! That is going to be allot of work. Good luck.

[zppeacock]

Great job... I can see the smile on your face from here:) Don't it feel great to save an older machine from early retirement?? Nice job, that thing sure has found a great home for sure....... farmers sure can improvise, that was a old plow shear I believe???? :lol:

Looks a lot better, nice work.

[zppeacock]
