I never have seen one of these, not really interested in buying. Just wanted to pass on for others to look at. Did a quick Google search and found some quick history.

The WorkBird was made by the George Tools Division of Community Industries in Sullivan ,Il. They were in business from 1946- 1966 then bought by Montgomery Wards then Yardman then MTD and then the plant was closed by MTD. The management/employees/and others went on to form Agri-Fab within 6 mo. of the plant closure.The WorkBird was way ahead of it's time and would have been a great product for the late 90s thru today.With it's basically zero turn capability, up front cut and add on accessories it would survive today but at that time nobody was ready for such a machine.Parts are virtually impossible to get except as with most all machines the engine parts.

Not for that kind of money, but the rear steering sure would make me a snow blower that could round my curves in the driveway nice.
