Has anyone seen a 3 wheeler like this? I am looking for the make of it and possible year of manufacture. I almost have it together to ride.

Thanks
Russ

 

This might help?

Well my frame doesn't even look like the Avenger, much less the motor and front end config.

Here are a couple of more pics. I hope this might help.
I have a Salbury clutch on order, yes it's belt driven. Brakes are on the drive shaft. Changing to a dual piston caliper from a donor 2 wheeler. The old single piston caliper was junk.
The bike has a Honda 10 hp 408cc motor, horizontal output to the primary clutch.
Belted to the secondary clutch. Driven to a forward reverse box and drive shaft with u joints to the stationary rear end. The bike has no suspention besides for the tires.

Thanks
Russ

 

Just trying to help out the avenger is the only thing I have ever seen that even looks somewhat similar to what you have.

I hope you figure out what it actually is though.

Wish I could be of more help.

 

The Avengere is very close. But just not enough that I would say it is the same just modified over the years.
Thanks for your help,
Russ

 

Do an internet search for HEALD. This company made machines in the late 70s and through the 80s. They were sold in kit form or complete.The model names were Supertrike and Mark iv Hauler or something like that.I am almost certain that is what you have.

 

I have a Heald Hauler - 70's vintage - my father in law put kit together when he was on the farm. I have had it for 5 - 6 years and I need to get a new ignition switch - the starter relay looks like it is in the switch - any body have any ideas where I can get such a part - or is something like that really common that any parts distributor would be able to get me one

 

apm... Have you tryed to match that ignition switch up at a lawn mower shop or an autoparts store? Anothe question.... I could only find one pic on the web of a Heald Hauler. Does yours look like THIS? And welcome to the forum.

 

No I have not tried the local auto parts store - but I will, thanks - my hauler looks a bit different - it is red, no cab and front wheel fender is chrome - looks more like this picture I found - but mine looks older

see picture on this web page - the picture in the top left hand corner

APM - I just chanced across your group & thought I would drop in with a word on your Heald Hauler.

I put together my dad's 1985 Heald Hauler from a kit & rebuilt it each year (dad wasn't much of a mechanic).

Anyway, I've had experiance with the Hauler's ignition problem. It has magneto ignition with a 12-volt electric starter. The original Heald wiring had 12-gauge wiring going directly from the battery to the ignition/start switch and then to the electric starter. No starter relay. Not surprisingly, the ignition/starter switch (and wiring) quickly burns out.

I replaced the burned-out ignition/starter switch and wiring with a Cole Hersee "No. 95616 magneto ignition and battery start switch" (purchased at an auto-electric store). I then added a common 4-pole starter relay from Napa. The Cole Hersee switch now has 16-gauge wiring going to it from the battery and on to one of the small terminals on the starter relay (properly ground the other small terminal). True battery cables go from the battery to a heavy lug on the starter relay, and from the other lug to the electric starter. That's the way it should have been wired in the first place.

I selected the No. 95616 Cole Hersee switch because it has a accessory terminal, so I could add a headlight.

By the way, Heald Hauler was purchased by PowerTec, which became Kimball Products. You can find them at www.kimballproducys.com
They are great people to deal with and support the old product line very well with spare parts & improvements
