Bantam J-7

Recommended Posts

I was scrounging around for Mopar parts at a local swap meet I attend every year, and came across this little Bantam. The guy claimed it was made in 49 but I think it's newer than that. My neighbor had a Swisher Big Mow up until recently, which is similarly made, and I thought it was neat, so naturally I had to bring this home. It's front wheel drive, drives off of a pulley on the top of the engine, which in turn powers a tiny gear box between the front wheels. I had it running at the swap meet for a few seconds; it hammered hard and then locked up. It has a Clinton on it. It needs deck parts and a pulley on the crankshaft to run the deck and it would be complete. I'm still in the process of doing research on it, so if anyone knows anything about them I'd love to hear it!
