Worksman trike build

[crazydave58]

picked up this early 90s Worksman trike...got it for $75...need a project to keep me busy during some of the winter...this thing is pretty crusty...was being used on a farm..the hubs and chain are covered in farm gunk... the frame looks

solid...just a little surface rust...it should clean up nice...probably will repaint it...it’s got an old Shimano 3CC hub on it...not sure if it still works...think so tho...the gear cable is frayed so I need to fix it cause there are no parts available for this hub...one of the back wheel axles has a slight bend in it..but I think it can be bent back...needs a front brake as well..

Parts are cleaning up nice...even the chains are still good

Got the paint stripped off...did some sanding...my arms and shoulders are done!... not my favourite thing to do...

Looks like a solid trike!
I'm sure it will be really nice when done!
