Self-Propelled, Steel-Wheeled Parade Buggy
Here’s a photo of my granddaughter and me on a self-propelled, steel-wheeled parade buggy I built. All parts on it and even the flags are American-made. The wheels are off a hay rake, with the rear wheels chain-driven off a 5 hp engine and the 3-speed transmission from a 1937 Chrysler. It’ll climb a pretty steep hill.
    Over the years I’ve collected a large number of big steel wheels, some more than 100 years old. I’ve found that if you keep these big old wheels greased, they’ll never wear out. (Duane O. Hansen, 3761 Carson City Road, Sheridan, Mich. 48884)
