Does that look right? Maybe the red is throwing me off? It should be green..

I wish it was a Tricart, It's not that far from me.
I don't want a gutless tricub.

I have never seen a red one either. TRI-CUB.... Sorry Mac. didnt mean to get you excited...lol... I think they are probably the ugliest of the old trikes. I dont know how many they sold compared to the other trikes but I cant imagine they were that popular back then...

I don't know how many they made, but one made it to Anaheim,CA.
I rode it, it was good, but couldn't hold a candle to my Tricart.
I did like the electric start.

This one is cool because of the 8hp Briggs w/elec start... not many of those made. If this was within geographic reach, I'd add it to my fleet in a minute. I have a 5hp Tricub which is fun, but no comparison to the 2-stroke Tricarts for thrill factor... like Ferrari vs Farmall.

Maybe someone could bring it to Winber next year for you...lol

So why is it red? :shrug: Has it been sprayed or was that a stock color for a particular year? :shrug:

I'm sure it was painted. They came in only the familiar solid lime green or optional metal flake green.

This is my 5hp in the metal flake green...

And hey Gump... I don't think they're so ugly :hammer:

I wish one would pop up around here...
