Very cool build, but parts are hard to find. The tires will be extremely hard because if I remember they are the ones with no rim really, kinda of like one big unit.

Should say it right on the frame. Does it have actual rims, or is it the uni-tire kind of thing I was talking about. I forget the technical term.

it doesnt have the tires that you can take off a rim with a bear, theres 3 bolts on a hub and to get them off you have to take the hub off. i'll get some pic's soon,

ok, being i have 2 chassies im gonna start another post with a modded one but im tryin to find a good honda bike motor like a cr 65 or a 80 at max and make a flat tracker, for ice or something, or just keep it as a pit quad, but im starting to tear down the other one i'll post some picks soon, any one know how to take the hubs off becasue i dont have enough rood to hit it with a hammer. and its on there i put some WD-40 in there and i still cant get it and the rear brake is froze in the one im gonna mod out.

as far as getting the rust out of the tank, it depends how bad it is.

They make a fuel tank stripper and sealer that you can more than likely pick up at a local dealer, or what ive seen done in the past is put ice cubes in the tank, shake the heck out of it and that helps knock rush and crap loose in there, then drain the melted ice out of the petcock or dump out the filler cap.

Repeat as neccesary.

US90's are pretty cool, no suspension just balloon tires. haha

yeah its kinda like a wuads hub but theres only 3 bolts and its a b!tch to get them on and off and there about a 4 in gap frpm the inside of the tire wall to the frame of the 3-wheeler, so its a tight fit and i havent see the back side i really need to get these hubs off, thanks on that site also im gonna see if i could get some good tires off there.
thanks again to any one that can help me i really need it right now so i can get them done, its starting to melt all the snow so then i can ride them

is there any way you can put a long bar between the frame and the tire and try to pry it off

i tride puttin a bottle jack in there and it wouldnt fit, i had a shoter breaker bar and it didnt do anything then a longer one and i smacked me knee it did nothing, but i want to keep both axles the one night i almost cut the end of the axle off because then i can get the axle out of the housing

well i have a parts on and a good one and i was tearlin apart the parts one so if i messed something up it wasnt that big of a deal. and the other day i went over to the good one and i took the castle nut off and the tire came right off and tried the other side and it came right off so not hte good one is all tore down and i have the frame primed. and the forkes are all painted, the take is all painted the main color and the only hting lift on the take is the white design on it.

im goin up there again today and im gonna try to rember to take some pic's.
