Default what to look for??

When i find a trike is there anything i should look for,like a heard if the trike has no brakes ,chances are the timing chain is streached and you should be able to hear it rubbing,anyone else have any tips of what to look for when trike shopping,i don't wanna have to start wrenching to much from the start...Thanks

One of the main prob I have seen are people neglect the wheel bearings.....have someone lift the axle and you shake it down and look for excessive play.....to far gone could cost some serious bucks.....been through that with the neighbors trike couple months ago.

Thanks i knew about that just slipped my mind so so far we got the timing chain,and bearings,also the front shocks i've seen some sad messes were the shocks were bent forward and had way to much play or they were stiff as a board...Anything else to add guys??
