Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Here's a couple photos of the wheels. I also have a front wheel and axle from another AMF model called the "Ranch Trac", which I also scrapped due to too much rust. You're welcome to have that one as well if you need it. The tire size is 7.50 x 1.25. That tractor had smaller rear wheels. Oh, and I was wrong about both large rear wheels being drive wheels. Looking at them again I remember one wheel was free turning and held on the axle simply by a flat washer and cotter pin. That wheel just slipped right off the axle. The drive wheel was the stinker and had to be ground off as you can see in the first photo. Not asking anything for the wheels other than shipping. That will be high enough with the weight of the steel wheels. I don't have any way of heating the tires up to safely remove them from the wheels. They'd no doubt split open trying to pry them off cold. If Gordon finds the set he has maybe we can compare shipping costs (whomever is closer to you) to see which set would be cheaper for you.Do you have any other pictures of this trike? I used to ride this when I was a kid visiting my grandparents and I've had it since their passing. It's been "in storage" since waiting for it to be repaired. As much as I'd like to restore this to original condition I'm not sure that's possible unless I can find an intact cowling and see what other parts may be missing from it. I'd also need to reupholster the seat.
