I prefer Tractor Supply buckets because they are food grade. You can brine turkeys.
Well, they were back in the day. Probably aren't any longer. Can't say I've seen one since the early '80s. We had them on the homestead because we processed our own pigs, including making lard.

I could have said Lowe's bucket, which the one on the trike looks like, just wasn't thinking.

Unsure if Lancia was active in North America when the Beta was about.. In the UK, it gained a very bad rep for rusting.. Tin worm every where you look...

I think Lancia was in the U.S. For a very short time in the late '70s.

Check out this rust bucket. Funny story. Time capsule gone wrong.

Funny how they try to subtly mimick real bikes by styling certain things to look like exhaust pipes etc. Hopefully manufacturers don't start styling ice to look like electric motors.

If you flip the rotation switch will it go in reverse or does the coaster brake prevent that?
I can see an application for use on large three wheelers used by the elderly.

Reminds me of a little motorised bike my granddad used to own... in think it was a French thing with a little petrol engine..
