3 wheeled oddball

Nice work, keep at it. I'm interested where this is going. I'd love to find one of those things.

Although the engineering may have been lacking back then they sure look like they're overbuilt. I like iron chops idea of a paint scheme "Keep on Truckin". Don't forget some period correct riding look; pork chop side burns, mullet, platform shoes, bell bottom pants and tie dyed shirt.

Want to thank fabiodriven. I guess the freeze off is helping. The first stop collar took about an hour and the second one was off in 25 minutes. Now to loosen sprocket (is like a compressor sheave to loosen but is rusted) then axle bearings. And not sure how to deal with brake rotor as no set screw is visible but patience patience patience. (My a??)

Any updates on this?

[danbur55]

Been letting things soak axle bearings are next but haven't budged yet sprocket turned loose fairly easy Rotor is gonna be a chore but need it all out to start glass work and clean up since it was painted so many colors can't decide to call it skittles or m&m between my projects , getting a few other people's stuff going has helped me wait on things to loosen up otherwise I would be in deep stuff by now

Glad to see you're still at it. At least it appears you're working with steel so applying some love, i.e. heat, won't hurt nothing. Mattdrogontamer had some success with a product called Metal Rescue that literally eats rust. If you could somehow submerge those parts and let them sit it may work. My vote is still with ironchop on color, loud and proud metalflake something groovy.

So you have a WEDGE. way too cool care to share some pics?? Always up for the odd ones and ideas on paint!!

[danbur55]

Success. Axle bearing finally understood that it was time to come off brake rotor must float as no set screw and slid right off

Sorry for being a post whore on this, I REALLY want to see this beast come alive. Did you come to a definite decision on the motor yet? Are you going to do your own fibreglass work?

[danbur55]

Will be trying to do glass work myself as I think I can make a form to hold the sale needed motor is up in the air as I was given an 8hp Briggs with it have a 10hp Briggs I had for awhile and a 6.5 Honda so finances may dictate one of these but who knows maybe a JLO 230 will fall from the sky lol. Metalflake pInt sounds great but think it should say "keep on trikin"

[danbur55]

Tricart green is revealing itself again so I don't need to call it skittles

Here's an picture for you of the engine bay with an jlo engine

[danbur55]

Thanks oile that helps along with tricartmans pics. but most likely will be a 7hp Briggs on this one as I have one so if anyone has pics of a flathead in the tricart that would be nice to see otherwise I will just wing it best I can thanks again
