11hp?
Nah, I've got an extra 450R engine sitting around. I'm sure I could find a way.......

This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
I really love these American Trikes! I have owned a few of them and was down to one my Agway Rustler 310. Adult sized, 10hp Briggs & Stratton, parts a lot less than my Japan trikes which I also love! Anyway, thanks for the link! The first guy didn't buy it, they made me a great deal on it and also had a Honda 110 so I bought them both. It was a father and son, they loaded them up for me and were great people to deal with! I am wondering if this is the first model that Tri Rod made as I can't see anywhere that a fiberglass body would have mounted. I do believe it is lates 60's making it pretty rare. I spent hours searching the net, can't find it anywhere. Anyone here have any photos of one, brochures, ads, etc.??? I would truly appreciate any if you could post them. It runs and drives great, front forks need straightening, and I think a rear bearing. Still steers smooth, the son showed me it in action, I was impressed for a 5hp, he was a pretty good size "kid"! Here's my "before" photos as bought!
Here's my Rustler 310, if anyone has a Rustler 305 let me know if you are near Finger lakes, NY. I need one for my younger grandkids, they can't reach the brake pedal on the 310 and our Honda 70 only has a hand brake that they can't squeeze, thanks!

Here's my daughter who took this for a test ride to get a feel for it. Hard to believe that 5hp can move pretty fast! She zipped around pretty quick. May be a bit much for our younger grandkids.
