Scored this 26 inch wheelset. Sachs drum front, with coaster brake (5 speed?) Sachs rear hub. Unfortunately didn't come with the shifter.

You can a sturmey archer but have to switch the threaded part at the end the indicator pin can't use a sturmey archer pin because the threading is different

Scored this crappy slider today.
I see the beginnings of a penny farthing in that front wheel.

I didnt see this ha ha ha , I have one exactly the same but no wheels, they were shredded, its hanging for another power trike one day! I do have another front same as yours just sitting there LOL! its off a huffy green machine!
It would be quite cool to see a penny Farthing coming from your shed, I dare say it'd be different!

I've stripped it down for the hub, cranks and forks. Stashed aside for later on. See what we can do with it

You can also use some SRAM older ones. The hub is almost identical to the sturmey archer most parts are interchangeable except the pin don't loose the bolts to hold it on because some have different threading.

Got a few scores over the last couple weeks.
Tyres arrived in the mail, ready for my Big Ripper build

Market place find with these cool, old school looking 700x38c tyres.

Ebay score, watched this get cheaper four a couple auctions as no one bid on it. Got it cheap as a donor for the rims. Very hard to find fat bike rims here in Australia.

Was cleaning out some of dads car parts at mums place, and came across this cool little 10 speed. 24x1 3/8 by the looks. Plume up the Crusty tyres and went for a ride. Been hiding in the roof for about 33 years.
