Just a black 3 wheeler, but in need of a little tlc. Not sure the tattoo yet. These are the only pics they had. Suggestions for cleaning up the rust?

Looks to be in fairly good shape, should clean up nicely oh and order your handles from @zavod44
Wanted: 18" Platinum any color will work

97' dirty. Couple rough spots. Needs new handles. Triangle is in good shape. Front leg comes out easily. Anyone know how to fix that? Cooking grate is bent and rusted, but I replace those with the hinged ones anyway.

Usually, but not always, if you get a broomstick or other like item that's the right size & flare out the inside of the leg (not the socket) then it will sit in the socket much better......try that & see....

Thanks buckie. This is my first time having to do more than cleaning. She's not super old, but looking forward to the finished product.

That's a pretty nice old grill....it'll be a grate cooker......

Some folks go as far as inserting copper tubing into the top end of the leg to stabilize things....
