On Training Wheels
Pulled this tricycle out of the shop, thinking I might restore it for grandson. It's an AMF Junior, but not sure what year.
The decal is different than what I see online for the 50s-60s model: My decal has a *banner* on which "Junior" is written [tho hardly legible], the banner is scrolled, as in, wraps around to the back [of AMF shield]
; the emblems I see online show this section as a straight rectangle. Not sure what this signifies to date my trike.
Did my tricycle originally come with a front fender?
The right rear wheel has one broken spoke and is bent some.
Left rear wheel has a 1" chunk of rubber missing.
Front wheel is very bad, down to the wire...
One poster showed a tricycle like this where the front wheel rubber had been replaced with a hose...!
So, what are opinions on feasibility of fixing this one? Needs wheels, pedals, handle grip.
Thanks very much!
