Anyone know about this tricart hustler?

[danbur55]

Found this tricart hustler with 8hp Tecumseh can't find any info on this all I've found is 6 wheelers or the cute ones that look like the old big wheel pedal carts. If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks169057169058

does it say 'tri cart hustler'? on it?
just a guess but maybe one of those old
catalogue stores, western auto sold guitars and all kinds of stuff.

[danbur55]

Yes the front has tricart on it. Rear of body has hustler there. Can't find any vin #,serial # anywhere

never seen em, must be rare because there so ugly?

looks well built thats for sure. the red machine next to it doesnt look like its too far off from where ever this one came from. i like the post mounts for the shades definately both farm machines.

Red one is a commuter industries 380 logo on front end and does share some resemblance to this one

When i get home i can post some pics i saved of the tricart hustler that was in nice shspe on ebay.
The one just beside it in the pic that has an orange fender, is that the commuter you are talking about?
That fender looks alot like the pacesetter III.

[danbur55]

yes sir that is the commuter, I will drag these two out to get better pics to post. should I post them here, or on my thread on the commuter or start a new thread? don't want to clog things up.

[MattDragontamer]

I would post them here, it keeps things nice and neat.
When or if you go to restore them, then I would make a new thread and possibly close this thread with a final post to your builds.

So here are the pics of that tricart I was sooooo close to buying off of ebay. Unfortunately the buyer told me he decided to give it
another try to restore it. :/

Hey, those things look pretty neat! The drive train looks intense. I would like to see a closer pic. It looks like the drive clutch is backwards...

[danbur55]

closer pic of tricart or commuter drivetrain?

[MattDragontamer]

Lol, totally forgot about this thread... Sorry. Yea, that commuter is a 1st gen Granger 390 i think. Thd first gen one were pretty much the same thing as the Pacesetter III.

[danbur55]

i think you were busy with a pair of awesome looking taurus's great job on those!!!! the 380 on front seems confusing but they just arent popular enough to have much info on them your collection of paperwork is about the most extensive i've seen so far. i am hoping things around the family settle down some this year so i can start a mild rebuild (unless i win a lottery but will have to buy a ticket) on this and or the tricart gonna have to come up with a usable carb and intake first. thanks
