I picked up what originally I thought to be a Manco but I found an Id tag that had been painted over and found out it was an Adventure Vehicle. It appears to have all the parts to it. I am gonna try to rebuild the Kohler engine. It seems to be in great shape and I picked it up for a price I couldn't turn down. I will post pics as soon as I figure out how.

Somebody modified the body to sit on the rack rather than under it and built in a bench seat for the back. I am in the process of disassembling it and put everything back as it should be. Unfortunatly the original Kohler motor is to far gone. I am going to put a harbor freight motor in it for now and hopefully I can find a Kohler to put back in it to keep with the originality. It's going ro be an interesting project. Anybody ever work on 3 wheelers like these, Manco's, or SpeeCo's?

Carb is in rough shape. Everything on it is stuck but it appears to be complete. I am guessing it would be rebuildable.

Yeah unfortunately I took the rear seat off. I'm putting her back the way she was built. Somebody had put 2x4's under the fenders and put them on top of the rear rack and put the seat on top of that. I took all that crap off. I will post a pic later of what it looks like now. I have the new engine in but need to get a different length belt and adjust the engine placement. Got a friend with a paint shop who is gonna paint fenders for me.
