Ken, I need a Kaplan America shirt!

My grandfather used to build these kind of trikes using old junk bicycles laying around in his junk pile. He made three before he passed away back in 2014. I still ride one of them occasionally. It uses a standard Briggs and Stratton 6 HP engine. Good for about 35 MPH on the road. Buuuut, it's not street legal. Who cares. I ride it around the country side. Cops don't seem to mind lol

Wow a Cushman what a cool machine, very popular in machine shops in big industrial applications remember them well. Thank you for sharing this with us used to Yellow light blue would as it shows does fine. Love the little black bumper guard around the base of the cowling, nice. Lance & Patrick.

Looks like the gearshift needs adjustment. Neutral should be in the middle with low forward and high backward.
