The original sales brochure states right on it that it comes with a twist grip throttle. I know this because I have a original brochure, and I have a machine ( Granger ).

Sorry I had forgotten that i replaced my twist grip throttle because it broke, it now has a ski-doo throttle on it.

Here are some brochure scans. I hope they help.

Yeah I know a guy with one he says hes gonna take it apart and use the motor on a go-cart frame he ain't a good mechanic he probably won't ever get around to it...i think it might have used to been sold at atwoods.

Not sure if this is the same thing but this is the trike we found on our grandparents farm.

There's a Sasquatch at one of my friends junk piles. It's kinda rusty and whatnot but still usable (no engine I think).

[dumdum9599]

thanks they help a little bit and it looks like it is in fair condition too.

Sasquatch model available with optional REVERSE gear.

I currently have a Granger Model that was given to me to restore for 3WW. This thing is Far from being done. I am in need of a final drive unit. I could get by with borrowing one and having the one gear/shaft duplicated. Once I get this I will put the rest of the restoration into high gear and get it rolling. I wished there was someone to provide the tranny or the gear / shaft for me to have it duplicated.
