When delivering a tractor to my oldest brother's house last week he mentioned cleaning out his shop on his property as a new years resolution. Like a dream come true i found this jewell. He said he rolled it down a hill in the mid nineties and never rode it again. I plan on bringing her back to life before the summer so i can have 2x the fun. I know it's going to be a ground up project due to its haggered shape, but thats what i was looking for as my first trike came ready to rip. I am more than exited to get into the classifieds and let the transformation begin :D

its really not in bad shape. it looks complete, just needs cosmetic work and cleaned up. an engine rebuild would always be good. its more complete than my '86 was when i got it. good luck! keep us posted on how it goes

My camera doesnt take very good pictures. The motor is in great shape. The throttle cable and both brakes are seized. It must have sat outside for a while in its life is my guess. The head light got pretty messed up when he rolled it as well. Ya i always carry a plug on long rides, my other 200x has never let me down(knock on wood)
