Sparky-(Admin) 19,652 #3 Posted March 12, 2008 Boy their small. And are yer feet supposed to be placed right on the deck? I had a small Huffy as a kid( didnt we talk about that on chat last night) but it didnt have a deck as far as I can remember. Not sure where our feet went. So are they gettin restored or left as yard ornaments? Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #4 Posted March 12, 2008 Pretty neat Perry...seen the wright up on one in the L&G Collector that just came out. I believe a collector in NY had the one in the mag? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH_Hobie 1 #5 Posted March 12, 2008 The neighbor kid has one of those with the small 4 speed gear box and go kart tires on it and wheelie bars up in the air to make it ride wheelies and my dad had ridden it you can ride a wheelie almost 2 blocks :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,652 #6 Posted March 13, 2008 Hard to imagine that little gear box can handle it. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #8 Posted March 13, 2008 We went through about 3 transmissions in the build-up, Mike. The seat was lowered and braced, larger rear tires were installed, and the wheelie bars were welded up high enough that when the front tires would come off the ground, you could ride on them and the rear tires of the mower. (you kind of had to lean back a little -- with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the governor arm! ) I rode a continuous wheelie on it for about two "town" blocks. (a little shorter than a city block, but not by much! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #9 Posted March 13, 2008 Perry, Cool looking little tractors you have there. Did Mustang also build a tractor with a steering bar instead of a wheel? Im sure I was on a Mustang that about ran over my Dad back in the ealry 80s. He was working on it when I stepped on the clutch pedal but on that model you stood on the pedal to make it go. I also think it only had forward and reverse not sure if any other gears. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,652 #10 Posted March 13, 2008 I had one of those Nick. It was called a Sunbeam Mower. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #12 Posted March 13, 2008 I rode one of those at a VGTCOA event a couple years back.... didn't have a clutch, and yes, forward neutral and reverse was all it had. Nearly dumped my butt off the back of it! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #13 Posted March 13, 2008 I have seen pictures of those, but never one in person. It's cute, but it's small. And Perry, as Greg asked, is those "ag" tires? :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pond195520032003 27 #14 Posted March 13, 2008 I believe these were either built by PenCraft or Massey Ferguson, or similar i saw a couple massey mustangs a few years ago and believe that is what these are as for the ag tires, they are original solid tires, no flats :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
