    To me it looks a lot like the Motorcraft 3 wheeler, maybe a different color option/year?

    @ my older posts about the 3 wheeler I had.... I found a pic of the frame someone else has! Made by Tri Rod in Ohio.

    I don't know much about them, I just looked at the shape of the machine, and the plastic shape, if the motorcraft one was painted black with the stripes, it would look just like it. Not sure if the word Motorcraft is embossed, or just stickers though.

    Also.. I found an older 3ww post about the machine I had! It sounds like it was a 1960's 3 wheeler. Even have a video of it complete and running.

    Gah... the memories... too bad the one I had didn't move for crap, didn't know anything about engines back then, but I know I could floor it and it would bearly move.

    I figured since you sit on top of the engine area, it would classify as a atv/3 wheeler, instead of a cart (assuming cart = go kart style, where the engine is behind you).

    Either way, the front end of the tri rod wasn't used much since my dad replaced the whole front end with the front end of the motorcycle, was a perfect project, the 3 wheeler didn't do much, and the motorcycle had pretty major problems with it's rear end... I think bearings and sprocket if i remember right.

    That there is quite the odd find there. Pretty rare I would say sense there is like no info anywhere about them other than a post on oldminbikes.com
    and quite the unusual setup. I think if I got that cheap enough I would own it for shits and giggles... lol

    Nope, I didn't get the TE380 manual... I wonder who did, it would have been a nice piece to have.
