3 wheeled push pull childrens riding toy all metal (Vintage) ?

[waroquier2006]

I can't find any info on this unit. It has 2 wheels in the front and the kids feet steer the thing. It has one larger wheel in the back, which is powered by a fan belt which is contected to a handle bar that the kids push and pull to move forward. I sent pictures to 2 bike museums and they never seen one before. The wheels are spooked and have hard rubber tires, Anyone with any info. Please email me and I will send pictures. Thanks Scott [email protected] I am having a hard time posting a picture but will try again tonight.

Sully, do you remember the belt number and brand? I am restoring one like this red one. Shown else were on this site.
I made the seat and found handles and decal. Got the tires. I'm painting mine yellow with red wheels. do you know what year it is?
thanks, Jim

Jim, excuse me for jumping in but I'm not sure Sulley is still with us. He mentioned being in need of a heart transplant back in 2013 on another thread. He was going into the hospital at that time to await a heart and that was about the last I ever saw him post on the CABE. Unless someone here knows otherwise, or has heard from him since, I have a bad feeling he never got a donor heart in time to save his life. He really did some beautiful restoration work on wheeled riding toys.

Dave,
Thank you for the reply. Hope he is still with us. What I've seen here is very nice. This site is new to me. I have a toy museum and collect a lot of different things. When researching the Irish Mail I came across this site. I do have the remains of the old belt. I can match it up. Check us out. www.dmltoymuseum.org or www.facebook.com/downmemorylanetoymuseum
