This is another project I’m working on when I’m not working on tractors. It’s a late 40’s to early 50’s David Bradley walk behind tractor. They are pretty interesting as they have a similar setup to the attach o matic. It’s set up so you can swap implements fairly quickly and easily. They usually are run by a roughly 3 horse engine usually a Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh. There were a few different models and options available. I just have to find an engine, run the cables to turn it, and disengage the clutch. Also, find 6-16 tires for the 16 inch rims that aren’t ungodly expensive. It sat at the house I grew up in for most of my childhood. I do have photo’s of my father, my brothers, and I riding on it when we were 5 and under. I’d like to get it going if I could it shouldn’t be too hard as the drive setup is much like our tractor.

Nice project. I have a couple of those sitting on my waiting list. One of these days I'll drag em out & see what I can do with em.
