Galloping Parade Float Popular With Chldren
![]() |
brought it to the local antique tractor show. Named "Old Iron", the rolling ride can hold as many as 25 kids at a time. What makes it fun is that the wheels mount on offset hubs so it has a realistic galloping horse movement to it.
Bob Lamb, who runs a welding shop in Greenfield, Ill., built the float for the Classic Iron Club and warns that you must have a responsible driver pulling the unusual float. "You can't pull it too fast," he notes.
The iron horse was made from a 21-ft. long piece of well casing pipe with 1/4-in. sidewalls. It mounts on a conventional wagon running gear and is covered with household carpet. A fixed handrail runs down the full length of the pipe on one side and a safety chain down the other. There are also stirrups with two levels of foot rests for kids of different sizes, and safety belts.
