Hello All,
New member here, I'm in the process of converting an old Manco Rustler 3 wheeler into a fat tire bike. I got the rolling frame years ago and hadn't really done anything with it. I had put a 5hp Tecumseh powersport motor on it and putted around the yard and then it sat. Decided recently to make something fun and useful out of it.
Stripped it down and started cutting. I extended the rear frame/bumper and added additional supports. New flangettes welded on to relocate the rear axle. The rear tire fits inside the rear of the original frame perfectly with room for the sprocket and brake rotor. Still fabricating brackets and such, but it is coming along nicely.
Have a Predator 6.5 with a stage 1 kit and TAV2 clone ready to bolt in.
