One of my projects is an old 3-wheeler my dad gave to my daughter a few years ago.
We have since moved far away from him, and now I have to become a mechanic and fix these old things, which is something I have been wanting to do for a long time.
Anyways, I have this alsport mts-30 that I need some parts for.
I have searched the forums, and Google, and my hopes of finding parts for it are dwindling.
Here's a pic of the underside where I am currently having problems.
Not sure why this gearbox is underneath. The top arrow points to what looks to be a missing piece of the casing. Not sure how long that has been missing.
The arrow under it points to some kind of bracket that goes over what looks to be some bearing encasement.
Would like to buy new brackets for the bearings, those look a little important, and the ones on each side of that big casing are cracked and missing chunks.
What brought this buggy back to the work bench was the third arrow off to the right.
There is an extra little bar with gears that is connect to the motor by the chain, then it turns the axle with the wheels on it.
Somehow that thing got bent really bad.
This three wheeler has a history of weird things happening to it ever since I got it, but this one really gets me.
I was watching my daughter ride this after rebuilding the engine again, and she goes around a corner, then slowly comes to a stop.
I thought she was out of gas, but after walking over there, I see the chain hanging loose, and the gear on bottom was spinning loosely.
I get it back to the house, flip it over, and see just how badly this thing is bent.
I didn't see her hit anything, or go over the top of anything that could have caused this, just riding along smoothly, the rolling to a stop.
So, I guess I really need some parts for this thing, but from what I gather, parts for alsports aren't easy to come by.
Anyone have any leads?
:shrug:
Thanks!
