Newly Acquired 74 ATC90... Pictures!

[kb0nly]

I am sure there is guys waiting to see... Here is the pictures of my 74 i just got today, its a little rough, but thats ok considering i got it CHEAP...

I have everything that you may notice missing in these pictures, i was in the process of power washing it down and taking pieces off to go through, everything is pretty decent for its age except the fenders are beat to heck and the front fender was broken off when i got it, i tossed on a spare 110 fender that i had. I will get the headlight fixed back up and put that back on, the tank is soaking in apple cider vinegar and i plan on posting up pictures of that process as well in a day or two. The carb is torn down and waiting for the kit and another part, thanks to 90guy for the help on that one!

I have new cables, brakes, fuel line, filters, seat cover, hitch, and a bunch of other misc stuff either coming or on my shelves to go onto this project. The rear fenders might be saved yet, but i do know of a set of brand new in the bag 79-82 110 fenders that i could get for it, so we shall see. If i cant get them off the guy that has them there does seem to be plenty on ebay as well. Eventually i plan on repainting the tank and forks at least, but for now its going to just be a good rider for putzing around!

Best part, nearly new tires, the front still had a sticker on the sidewall from the place that put it on, the back two are Good Year's the front is a Cheng Shin.

Nice pickup kb. Congrats on finding it and fixing it up. My first ride was on a 78 or 9 ATC 90...BITD. Cool little trikes! :)

Thanks guys!

I do have the headlight bucket, i took it off to go through the wiring and soak the switch in some contact cleaner. I have a new trim ring, glass, and reflector assembly to go into it coming. The bucket is a little rusty on the surface in a few spots but for now its going back on. Later this fall or during the winter i plan on pulling the front end off and putting new bearings in and repainting the forks and headlight, just going to kinda restore it to functional form now and cosmetics as i can.

The first trike i rode was a 90 i believe, not totally sure what year. I have to dig around and find some pictures of me from back then, i know i have one of me sitting on the ATC on the farm.

The main agenda now is to get it running, then start piecing it back together. The carb is scrubbed within an inch of its life, the tank is cleaning up nicely, and the minor wiring fixes which mainly consist of cleaning connectors that have been exposed for years, is nearly complete. Over the weekend i am going to pull off the fenders and take the seat off it, explore my options for repairing/replacing the fenders and then pull brakes apart.

shouldn't a 74 model be Daytona orange

shouldn't a 74 model be Daytona orange

I think its the lighting, because in person its definitely an orangish color, its faded. I will try to take a picture of the tank when i am done washing it out, the tank is more definitely orange in color. Although i might actually make it Passion Red when i decide to repaint it, i haven't found a source for the orange paint and the front and rear fenders will be red anyway if i toss the 110 rears on it.
