Found this on CL it was only 5 miles from my house. Will need tires, the paint job looks crappy, and I don't know who makes it, but it rides soo good. It has no puncture tubes in it with no valve stems. Looks like its going to be a pain to get these tires off of it.

Weird looking indentions in the forks? Could this be a workmans industrial trike?

Those forks look to be of the same brand I bought off ebay for a Klunker I built (based off the slots in the back). I bent the crap out of them really quick, pretty cheap.
 
Tires a pain to get off? nah shove a flat head screwdriver under em, pry up and cut with a rather large pair of bolt cutters or grinder, nice trike though, I had a worksman, they do neat two wheel turns lol
 
Thanks for the all the great info guys. I am trying to figure out the best way to get the paint off the sticker without removing the name off of it if that's possible. Then I want to flat black the frame and paint the wheels red since it already has a crappy paint job :) My miami sun trike is too nice to rat rod, so I think I am just going to leave it all original and ride the wheels off this one.
 
Nice pics thanks for posting them. That even looks like my rear chrome fenders all beat up. How much will you sell me a chrome front fender off that one lol.
 
That's perfect then :) I need a bent front fender to match my bent rear fenders lol Thanks again for the pics from your work.
 
Does anyone know where to get parts for these Mohawk industrial trikes i have a model 240 i recently found and i want to do a complete restoration most importantly i need the head badge if anyone has a new one for sale please contact me on facebook under Randell Lugo

Most of the bikes at work have had a long, rough, neglectful life. You would be hard pressed to find a single straight fender out there anywhere!

They used to have a surplus store, but they closed it down after the tornado in 2012. Most all of the bikes and trikes are riden until the frames crack. Then they are stripped down and scrapped.
