Probably time to go buy a lottery ticket. That is amazing luck to get those for $20. Why did it take so long to talk him into selling? Were you haggling over the price? Lol

there was no haggling they were out at his families' farm and it took time for him to bring them to town. the one on the right is a us 90, with original rear axle but no balloon tires and the front axle is off of the other one, but the tanks are in great condition inside, and the fenders are all in good condition as well one the tranny has issues, the other the top end has issues but neither one is seized.

Wow what a score!
Wish I could have gotten ahold of my neighbors black ATC90 (think it was once blue). Seat was shredded, but they eventually scrapped it I think. At the time, I didn't know it's significance, only that it was some type of three wheeler. Still had balloon tires which I thought were cool as hell.

the guy I got them from was the original owner of the us 90, and bought the other from a neighbor years ago.

Geez...now I feel like I got ripped off on the ATC90 I paid 40 bucks for!
Do you wanna sell any parts?

I plan on going through them to see what needs to be done on each before I decide to part either of them out. If I get the us 90 to be a good runner again I will sell it as I want someone who knows what it is is and will take care of it. So I more than likely won't be selling it locally. lol

well just discovered the sub tranny on the one with tranny issues is not going into hi or low range and that is the issue, easy fix right there.

well after some tinkering for the last few days the us 90 is a runner. the toolbox actually had the lid and the original tools as well so I got a score there. Now it's time to clean it up and and make a good machine out of it.

I will take pics of the tool kit in the morning for you all. Also there is a plastic tube with a piece of paper in it that I haven't looked at yet, but I will.

ok so I looked in the tube at the paperwork and it wasn't a title but it was the original registration paperwork so the us 90 is a 1974, pics of the tool kit soon to come

on a new strike of luck the sub tranny wasn't even bad it was a snap ring that was stretched out keeping it from sliding properly I cleaned the carb up and put some fuel in and viola she's a running shifting machine again. Now I just need to fine tune the carb and replace the chain tensioner with another I have from a part out and button it all up for sale. I have a buyer for it and am only asking 350.00$ for it

and in case anyone is interested I am selling the 1974 us 90 to any member who wants to buy it from any of the forum's, if I don't get any takers, I will sell it locally but I would rather sell it to someone who will take care of it. it will have to be freighted unless you want to come and pick it up. I have it running and all put together, however the front axle is from a newer model and it doesn't have balloon tires as they were bad. pics can be put up of it soon if desired.
