    New member from Mass

    Hows it going guys,I am new to the 3ww forums but some may know me from other forums.Just bought a running 1984 tecate 3 on Thursday night and today it had a babie(atleast thats what I told the wife,haha). I picked up another 1984 t3 today with a locked motor.Both are not in the greatest shape but there is enough for me to build atleast one nice one with some cleaning,powder coating/painting, and some much needed tlc.Plus I will have a parts supply.I have not owned or ridden a trike for 12 years or so and can't wait to get on one again.I love my 2 strokes and own quite a few other machines.Don't get to excited about the pics as these are rough.A little time and money and we should have a nice t3 again,maybe two someday.

    Thanks guys. Ordered a few parts,so far a few new intake boots,clutch cable,air filter. I wish I could see all the posts and info on this forum but I guess it takes awhile for them to open up? Anyone have a online manual for the T3 A1? Looking to get hub sizes etc so i can get some rims and tires ordered.

    Welcome! nice start with those bikes, always loved the old Tecates! Heres some info below for you about hubs that I found by searching. -----


    If your bike is an 84 it has the 4/4 or 4/101mm pattern. If you want or need 4/156 you need 85 Tecate hubs which will work on your axle and are 4/156. Or you can buy 85 KLF185 rear hubs which will fit on your (13 spline) axle and are 4/110 which is a lot easier and cheaper to find wheels for.

    Oh, those aren't the two I saw then. Never mind.

    Yes, the swap meet is in Thompson CT.

    Haha Funny you say that.I was at waxy's last night for a few in between my travels of x-mas shopping.Great place. I actually grew up 2 towns away from E.B. It's a small world.
