Basically the same as the Montgomery Ward T-555. First Bulldog I have seen with the smaller forks. All I have seen had the wider front wheel. First body I have seen on one also. Randy

Wow Those guys frome Omaha were in bed with everyone....

Omaha Nebraska is where Montgomery Wards trikes were built.. Bull Dog trikes were built in Missouri. I have both. My Bull Dog trike has the wide front tire. I also have a Montgomery Wards trike and a seat body just like that and it was identified as a Mongomery Wards body. The frames are the same as you can see. I will try to post some pics later.
:thumbsup:

thanks guys.
gumpit is that a factory ski?

 

[gumpit]

According to the guy I got it from it is. He bought it new. I also have one for my Heald...

 

[YOOP]

Looks like i could make one pretty easy from an old snowmobile ski.
We do have one for our super bronc but didn't really like how it handled in the snow.i'm sure the bald rear tire didn't help.

 

[gumpit]

yeah. I found the front tire works just as good as the ski. But I didnt have it in deep snow.

 

[YOOP]

Ok you trike guys. Found a throttle cable long enough.
Where can i get a brake cable ?

 

[70sVintageTrikes]

Good ?. I have not had to buy one yet but need to for some side burner projects. Ask Steve Durham.

 

[YOOP]

Thanks v t. Ordered 2 throttle cables i may use one for the brakes if i have to.but i would like to use a thicker cable for the brakes

Flanders Company, Motorcycle Handelbars In Chrome, 7/8" & 1", Replacement Brake & Clutch Levers For Dirt Bikes, Street Bikes, ATV/Quads, Scooters And All Accessories For Motorcycles and ATVs, Offroad Products, Dual Sport Products, Motorcycle Handelba Is where Steve gets his. I have ordered many through them as well. It is a little hard to find them on the site but they are there somewhere. If you cant find them just call them and tell them what you need. Randy

Cables For Go Karts and Mini Bikes some cheaper ones here.

 

[YOOP]

Thanks. Got the one on it freed up.but it's got a drum on both sides so i will need another

 

[wjustice]

How long a length do you need? Ive been buying separate conduit, inner cable and end buttons from mfgsupply. The 5/64 cable is up to 84"(AZ2303) with conduit up to 78"(AZ2315-78) add the buttons(AZ2370) and you have some nice strong cables for under $20. The smaller sizes are even a bit cheaper

 

[YOOP]

They have to be at least 70"
i'll check out mfg.i've purchashed stuff from them before and they are reasonably priced and cheap shipping.

 

[buckeye]

Some great suggestions.
