thedaddycat Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 That would make a neat little run-about at a show, too cool!!!
Bunky Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I had one of those when I was a kid.. The plastic part around the engine was gone but man we had hours of fun on that thing just riding it around like a Go cart.... Go in a lot of trouble too for siphoning all my dads gas out of his tractors and cars..... LOL
rjgoth Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 That is a SWEET little tractor. They sure dont make them like that anymore. This has lots of character too, looks like a lot of fun. I almost forgot about those wind-up starters on top of the shroud, talk about vintage -- Old School.... I love it. That would be neat to drive to work. Nice find.
Salthart Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 LOL I remember the summer days of the 60's.. Only 3 channels on the TV so Saturday mornings, I was out the door as soon a s Johnny Quest was over ! THe air was sweeter then and filled with the "Click Click Click Click Click Click ROAR of all the wind up Briggs engines !
DaleC Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 It looks like a Huffy brand that I saw as a kid. Neat. You will have to take it to shows for leg saving and show off effect.
gregc Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Looks like the one I used to mow with when I was about 15 years old. On the one we had the gear shift stuck out from under the seat on the right side. It had two gears, forward and reverse.
McGill Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I've got one that looks a lot like yours, mine is Sears from the early 50's.
Sandy Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I think that's a 1959 or 60 Sears if I remember from the postings on one of the Sears sites on Yahoo. I think Spence or one of the other regulars on there has a picture of one you can find in the links section or there might be one in their photo section. Also, there's the Real Craftsman Club on Yahoo that could help.
