Well went to the local wrecking yard today to find a 68 f100 tail gate with no luck but i did see this little guy tucked under a half way fallen down shed! I paid a whole $5.00 for it and it even runs!!!! I figured what the heck $5 and its a 3 wheeler i sure cant go wrong here!!! It has a 5 hp Briggs motor and it is belt driven. I may swap it over to chain idk yet though. Let me know what you think?

For shits and giggles can anyone guess what that yellow bike is?

Never saw a yamaha like that. It looks like yamaha's version of the honda trail70

Great score!!! I would make it a two wheeler, or get a bigger axle.

I would love to run across a sweet little deal like that

if you have a farm store or a northern tool around you pick up the posi-trac go kart axle and mount that ...

yep its a 76 yamaha champ! Bought her from the same place as the lil 3 wheeler for $20! Seems to have good compression but no spark! I did however figure that when a mouse eats through half of the wiring harness that this may cause an issue?? lol

Tream red rider- so a northern tool huh? a posi trac axel??? How wide would it be? How much? I would def have to switch over to chain right?

I had a 2 wheeled scooter with nearly the same frame, it may have started life as a 2 wheeler. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid75/p32d473452ba1ffbb9f83576d782706b6/fb57dfb3.jpg
