    I'm interested only in the chicken tractor plan.

    I dont think so, but I'm not the admin, what i will say is that i found it helpful to read through several of the plans, even when I wasn't making them, because it gave me more ways to do certain things and different methods that I used on the build that I did do.

    Parts is Parts

    The spokes are useful also, they're great for measuring during a build or making hooks for hanging parts when painting. The front disc brake, the chain, since a tadpole needs 2.5 of them roughly, the seat post is probably steel, head tube bearings and cups are probably worth saving, they're...

    Searching for 20mm thru-axle hubs

    I wouldn't pay much attention to my previous post, it was for a warrior build, I have no idea how it would apply to what you're building.

    Searching for 20mm thru-axle hubs

    Those are nearly identical to the hubs I ordered from Ebay about 4 years ago and they have about 1,000 miles on them without any issues. Something I did different from the manual with them though, instead of using a 14mm bolt or build up the weld on a smaller bolt, I used two "58104 Flange...

    QUESTION (Help) For the Streetfox

    Can't speak to what's "best" for welding, there are plenty of others here for that. I can offer, that I have finished 4 AZ builds, all were with MIG and shielding gas. The first was 100% CO2, the other 3 were using a mix of CO2/Argon, all 4 have held up without any problems. I'm not a welder...

    Marauder LowRacer Pilots

    I built a tomahawk and the learning curve was difficult for a while, it took some practice and adjustment. Something that helped me was changing the handlebars, mine were way to big. I was riding and gripped my bars almost at the center post to steer and it was so much easier to control. I...

    Finally Finished

    Just use your first trike to make a few jigs out of plywood and 2x4s and the second trike will be so much quicker and easier you'll be shocked. I built the 2nd and 3rd trikes quicker, combined, than the my first build, they came out better and it was easier.

    Before you dive to deep into the pull in the steering, did you check the tire pressure?

    Help Please

    I see you already bought them, but I was going to recommend you buy them all as well. I first bought four plans, the next week after reading through them, I bought four more, then four more, etc. I found that all of the plans were excellent to read through as he has different information in each...

    Finally Finished

    Looks great, good job! I built one with the intent of building a few more if the first worked, I ultimately built 4 AZ builds. The first was by far the worst and most difficult, the others took less than a third of the time, so don't rule out building another, I would recommend making some jigs...

    Anyone poor metal molds or other fabrication techniques that are not common?

    I've done some casting at home with aluminum. I build a the mini metal foundry and torch with stuff from a big box hardware store, and used aluminum scrap from ebay. I found I had better results melting the scrap into ingots first, letting it all cool, then using the ingots to make the final...

    what welder do you need for steel or AL?

    I think so, but I don't recall it was in 2020. I don't know what the warranties and build materials for most popular trikes are, so I don't want to misrepresent anything, it was just the determining factor for me when deciding to stick with steel.

    what welder do you need for steel or AL?

    When I was thinking about building a warrior, I went down the same road regarding aluminum. I ultimately decided against it when I realized that 'real' bikes and trikes made by the professional have wildly varying warranties. Aluminum frames (generally) carry a warranty of five years, while the...

    Warrior seat mod question

    That's how they come from the factory, sitting on a bolt on the bottom and two pipes to the supports at the top, but I was worried about the weight being in so few places on the frame itself, the seat before was from the plans so the board was on the whole frame.

    Formatting worked great on android, I have a fold and changed back and forth between both a small and full screen and it adjusted perfectly without needing to refresh the page, same with rotating between landscape/portrait as well. Only question, the first article says figure 1, but the...
