Wow! I have a trike VERY similar to this. Probably the same thing, except I have a larger wider fender up front. I see there are no bearings in the headset. My forks seem to be pushed back. Wobbly for sure. Rear tires are wobbly on that rear axle. I don't see how they fit tighter after your cleanup. Snapping your fingers again? My front pedal/axle is wobbly too. Looks like you found new hardware to attach front wheel to fork. Again, the fork magically gets tight after cleanup? Very nice!! This was my bike, and my grandson was over the house and started riding the trike all wobbly as it is! So now that I see him riding it, I feel like "trying" to do what you did here. Thanks a lot for the video.
Great video. Fantastic restoration! I've been meaning to restore my old tricycle , it's a similar model. Too rusted. Needs a lot of elbow grease to bring it back to its former glory. It has sentimental value. Good job, Btw the background sound on this video is a bit distracting .Lol.
Same. I have a 50's trike I'm restoring for my young'n... it's a different model but the wheels look the same! The ones on it are irreparable so I'd love to know if I can get some

" and now,...for something completely different" !
This brings back long, long ago memories.
Thanks Reg glad I brought back some memories!
Great work! New life into it. I bet it was a satisfying experience in every single piece. Bravo!
Interesting background sounds! I'd like to see your helper climb on and take it for a spin!
That's how the wheels got like that in the first place. Big kids ruining little kids toys. I cringe every time I see it happening.

Lovely work ...Not to sure about your choice of background sound , but the tricycle looks great ..lol !!
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’m just looking for the right purchase. Wow
Check out the one i recently restored #littlerestorers
My sister and I had this exact model in the 70’s
I have one similar just wondering if you can buy new wheels front and rear.

Just needs peddles :-)
Great work that bike was during the time i was born
Hi bro 👋👋👋very good restoration 👍👍👍👍
Thanks bro 👍👍
Nice job buddy. Go for a ride.
Thanks Wally!
That AMF label and the hex bolts/brackets that connect the body tube to the rear step and axle were used in the mid-to-late 1980s.
Thanks for the information!
How did you restore the rubber wheels?
Nice.
Thanks mate!
I recently rebuilt a similar trike......but the front axel slides side to side quite a bit, doesn’t seem right.......any ideas?? 😁 nice rebuild too!
OMG what is that sound!!
Nice work. I have the same tricycle and I am trying to source front and rear wheels for it. Where did you locate yours?
i have RF old tricycle, but it wheels is wavey, how to fix it..? thanks
Nice job! Nice collaboration with you and RK. No pedals?
Thanks Chris! Decided to leave the old cracked ones off, may eventually make new ones if it ever becomes more than a display piece.
3D print job
What kind of electric tool did you use.
Hi there I have a a question I just bought a 1930s tricycle and it needs new tires do you know a place
Pretty but how did you restore the tires come on
I would like to know where you got the new rubber for the wheels?
Ended up using original wheels, just cleaned them up a bit.
Ok. Thank you.
@@motoforlyfe how did you clean them up? I'm working on something similar. Thanks!
We inherited a similar tricycle from my dad. The front tire is starting to crack. 😒 Suppose those wheels could be replaced?
Nice refurbishing job, but what about the pedals...
We might 3D print a set but for the time we decided it would look better with the cracked ones left off.
Is it possible to remove the tires from the rim ??
I am unsure. I did not attempt to remove them due to them being rather hard from age.
Did u biy new bearings for the front wheel?
Used stock bearings, they're just nylon bushings that seemed to still be in decent shape.
@@motoforlyfe ty
Good job. Now if you can keep the big kids off it, a kid might be able to enjoy it.
We'll try Victor!
needs pedals
Paint the main bar white
Pedals?
Decided to leave them off since one was cracking and I plan to use this as a display piece
So now you can't talk? There is ONLY one Jimmy Diresta, get your own gig. LOL
FALTOU TROCAR AS BORRACHAS DO GUIDÃO QUE FORAM PINTADAS E COLOCAR OS PEDAIS.
I didn’t know this was vintage
