Recommended Posts

I got the old gals out last weekend here they are my 1956,57,and 1962 Beavers! Such an odd design! love the simple rock your foot forward to go forward and rock back to go back! Im thinking next winter i may put my front blade on one of them and use to plow snow. I bet i will get some odd looks from that! LOL

I never see these anymore it seems, they are fun little rigs. I have a hood-less tiller steer Baird myself, though it's incomplete. Always wanted to mount a small open flywheel engine on it and take it to shows as a buggy.

I have parts and motors. My late dad grew up in the 60's with one. i have photos of him riding in a cart being pulled by his dad and his grandpa when he was a little young man
