old trike ID

[Karttekk]

Would anyone recognize the brand or make of this older trike I recently picked up? Looks to have a factory Torq-a-Verter installed and the original Tecumseh Power Sport engine, OHH60. Drum brakes. Haven't looked for any badges or labels. Probably painted over. Thanks

More photos would help, try to zoom in and eliminate the background clutter

Thanks Hellion. I tried to register on OMB but even though I can log on I don't have permission to do anything. Dunno. Previous owner had hose clamps holding the axle keys in place, front wheel bearings were seized and there's no master link in the chain. I have the engine off, the rotted seats off and the wheels off. Axle bearings are seized on the axle. Been sitting for some time it seems. I'll get better pictures soon.

Finally got this heap running. New torque converter & belt, carburetor, coil, spark plug, air filter, rebuilt the seat, new front wheel bearing, front tire, new rear tires & tubes, new paint, throttle cable, oil change and fabbed a kill switch. Gotta do something with the blue footpeg grips. Does pretty good, probably does 30 MPH.

Right. I forgot that registering is currently frozen over there at OMB. Terrible tragedy for such a site. Maybe we can steer them all here and max-out the minibike section.
