[vhgmcbuddy]

Hello all have just joined your club on a free trial , I recently bought a Wrigley Union 3 wheeled truck in good condition it starts and goes, I remember these little trucks being used at a convalescence holiday home in Elie Fife they were used for delivering garden produce from large green houses to the main house , when I first saw the wee truck advertised on line I thought that would be great to have so went viewed it and bought it , have since cleaned it up and repainted in same colours also had a look at the brakes as some one has made them into cable operated and are in fact hydraulic but master cylinder is missing they used the hand brake linkage and adapted to use as a foot brake works ok but now no hand brake or fitting , the brakes are in excellent condition look similar to mini brakes, it has a kohler 7 hp engine fitted don’t know if its the original or modified the gearbox has Albion imprinted on it , would like to know more about it , if anyone knows about these on here that would be most welcome the enclosed foto is as it was when purchased

Wrigley Union Trucks were made in Wantage, Oxfordshire and yours appears to be quite a recent one with the Kohler engine.
Here is a useful Website…

It always features a lot of trucks of all different makes….
