Found another keeper on cl a while back.

This is a 71 Montgomery wards t555 terrain cycle.

I recall seeing these types of three wheelers around when i was younger but never got a chance to ride one.

I pulled the 8hp briggs flat head and have been fitting a ohv briggs 12 hp with a tav2.

Hoping to have it rideable before any serious snow comes.
My super bronc goes great in the snow but this should be loads more fun.
My boys little cart has been a hoot but it dont go in the snow well and now that he is bigger i think he will enjoy this more.

Thats was my thought too when i first saw this trike on cl.


I had a regular three wheeler for a bit when i was younger and quickly learned it wasnt for me.

This thing fits my wants better.
As its not to loud, fast or obnoxious for a putt around the neighborhood when i want.

Honda used to manufacture a three-wheel ATV until they got sued over the tip-over problem on tricycles when they are running at speed. When you turn the front wheel, it drives out the center of gravity and the things high side and slingshot the rider.

You might have discovered that had you ridden one way back when.

Warn your riders before your wife has to deal with a broken kid.
