combatmp29r 27 #2 Posted January 17, 2008 OH Tricycle Terry where are You???? He has built about the best set up i've seen so far Jim. I'm sure he'll be along shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #3 Posted January 17, 2008 I'm here! Follow this link to the post and scroll down 'til you see the Tricycle Charger. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=490 You'll need to work out your own design specific to the 753, and you can CHEAT and use little baby front tires like most people do. At least you can get an idea on what direction to start. Oh yeah...... GOOD LUCK! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #4 Posted January 17, 2008 Oops..... almost forgot! You have about 4 inches less of frame to work with on a 753, so you might have to mount the battery under the seat, or at least use a smaller motorcycle-type battery. You can buy a smaller universal joint than the one I used -- mine was cheap, so it got the job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #5 Posted January 17, 2008 Even though I never been much into the "tri" look in L&G tractors, it does sound like an unique and interesting project. And of course, as you progress :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #6 Posted January 17, 2008 Jim I have seen a few differant variations on the narrow front look. Terry with the tricycle in his avatar has it pretty well mastered. I know of another that does the chain setup...but Terry's reduction setup adds a measure of safety. Nick on here has built one too...maybe he'll chime in with some pics? I've always wanted to build one with the steering box behind the engine & a linkage going around the engine like the old Case SC's Good luck & keep us posted on your progress!
