FLtractor 227 #1 Posted 11 hours ago Evening, Another marketplace listing, Seller add states ward tractor but I see a simplicity badge. The hand lever is both the brake AND steering? She’s asking $50.00. Would it be able to tow a cart around yard if I had small metal tab hitch added? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 80,741 #2 Posted 10 hours ago I'd be SUPER curious to know exactly how it drives but I would NOT attempt to tow anything with it. Save the $50 for fixing your own Wheelhorse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it be able to tow a cart around yard if I had small metal tab hitch added? The strait steering handle indicates that it is a 1957 Simplicity Wonderboy. In 1958 they put a slight bend in the steering handle like the one pictured above. I would not recommend using it as a tow tractor and here is why. - It has 1 speed forward and one reverse. The steering handle is also the clutch. Pull back on the handle to make it go, let go of or push the handle forward to disengage the drive. There are NO BRAKES ! The only thing that stops it is the friction of the drive system. Would still be a fun ride around tractor for an adult for the money. Would not recommend a kid drive it unless you rigged a better place for them to put their feet. Edited 27 minutes ago by Achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
