Help in restoration

[Restore?]

I would like to restore this tricycle to be ridable again for upcoming grandchild. It is an early 1960's Western Flyer. It was orginally purple. The tires and seat need to be replaced. The rest seems to be just sandblasting and paint. Unless someone else has any suggestions. I need direction to find the items needed. I really do not know where to start.

Tires just look like they need to be cleaned. Can the sat be cleaned? I'd blast the rest of it and just use a decent quality aerosol enamel. V/r Shawn

Front tire is split across. The back tires are doable. The seat may do with a slight weld to reinforce it. But I will need a new fromt tire.

It may be easier and cheaper just to find another similar trike with a good front wheel. You might luck out and get a seat too. Looks like a 12" model and nice ones of these are only about $50 tops. V/r Shawn
