the showman

When visiting the show in PA I fell in love with the trikes, and no one has one in the UK, so here's the steering.

the first photo shows the parts used, a length of solid rod and tube, an old engine plate, mower deck bearing, a blade spacer, a box of chain and cogs from a auto jumble and steering column for the axle. the second and third photo show the bearing and grease nipple and top gearwheel from a Cortina camshaft, all welded up and will bolt in the chassis rails

next job was to bolt everything together and see if it all fits and works

I'am not to sure to use a rear fender and like the look of the fender kit used on the RJ's which I bought on one of my trips to the Wheelhorse show in PA. a bit of bodywork looks very useable, pick a gas tank, and cut the upstand the last photo of the front axle parts but you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the answer

next on the list is front wheels, I want to use early narrow one's and the early narrow rear's as well. the engine iam  going to use is an 8 hp kohler with electric start. using a 8 speed tranny the 8 hp will be plenty. next the bonnet and for looks I went for the charger 12. the dash stands that I have are a bit rusty so I bent up a new one

thanks karl

forgot this one

This build is one I did a while ago, but for those who hav'nt seen it I thought I would share it with you. We often say we have enough parts to build another one so here we go. as you can see I started with the chassis but all the old ones have a lot of holes in so I decided to make a new one, out with chop saw and stick welder , next was a transmission.

thanks mark, I've just got a new puter and trying to find my way round it.

I will do a complete build with words and photos when I get more comfident

ah, ha, it works 

still undecided    its a hard choice    

I saw you first

yes he is.... thanks for all your kind words   

I think these photos are from the 2012 show, I had my cub at the 2013 show

you could relocate them in my garden titch if you stuck    i could fill them with wheelhorse's

heres a couple of action shots with my grandson having a go

Here's a photo of a project that i built a few years ago. it was  something i've always wanted to do and the idea was to test it then paint it but ive had so much fun it never got done. this year i intend to strip and paint it before the rally season starts.

Hello everyone, just joined so will load some photos of my  Wheelhorse's later.
