Wire 3 Chorehorse mount

[Alex van de Wetering]

Do you think the cover is hinged? I agree it is removable but what looks like hinges may be reinforcing and ridges so the top of the cover acts as a step?

Bruce, from what I have read on the HMVF forum, it's sister, the Bedford MWR, has a cover that hinges about 90 degrees and can than be removed. I presume the Wire3 uses the same method. Funny thing though is that the MWR has the chore horse on the right hand side fender....but it does indeed have ridges on the top of the cover so it can be used as a step.

Any manuals on operating the MWR floating around? They might give us a clue whether the Chore horse was used in situ or not.
