  • Sperry Rand Tricart

    Ok guys, here's a couple of shots. The one that's missing engine, handle bars, etc. is the one that's dismantled now. I have most stuff, including original, running JLO 230 engine. These pics were from a couple of years ago.

        Tires are 16x14.50-6. If you have a pair, I may be interested.

          I believe the tires are the same or real similar to ramco retrievers? Not for sure on the size but they sure look it anyways.

                I'm real close to you... I'm in Harrisburg... I have a Tricart and Wedge. My Tricart is completely dismantled. I'm going to get around to rebuilding it someday. Mine needs some body work, too...

                    Joe M, Any chance that you have a seat cushion for your Tricart? I have the seat shell but not the cushion. I figured that I could probably get some upholstery shop to make me a cushion using the photo from the literature (below), but it would be easier if they had a pattern to use.

                      Tires

                      Just a thought guys, if you can not find the correct tires have you thought about running tandems? I have seen the Max machines with this configuration before in a video. It would not be original but it would get the tires to the desired width. Like the Sperry racer at Ashtabula, just close up the gap.

                      Just a thought

                      Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                        I thought about duals, but I'm not that desperate yet. At this point I think I have usable tires. If I came across a set of better ones, I'd certainly consider them. Right now I'd be happy if I could find tubes that would work. I'm trying to keep these units pretty much stock.

                            Yeah, no surprise. I have never seen a seat cushion in person... only photos. The guy recently trying to sell 2 Wedges and a Tricart on eBay claimed his Tricart had one. According to him, it's the same cushion as the Wedge, so I'm still hopeful that I'll eventually come across one to use as a pattern.

                              I have a seat cushion and a Wedge to go with it My seat cover is complete, but I could use another if you're going to get them made. The guy with the other seat cushion has one heck of a nice Tricart. I have some pictures of it on my other computer.
