BeninCT 451 #1 Posted January 16, 2021 Aside from a great name, what were these used for? There are 2 of them in similar shape for sale in CT on CL. Ok one is in MS 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #3 Posted January 16, 2021 They were used the same as any other garden tractor. I can't remember who on here has or had a few of these. I missed out on one in December. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #4 Posted January 16, 2021 Just an early garden tractor, I have a pile of old paperwork and other stuff on them. Not the most valuable, or useful.. but they are unique. Good for some light ground work or towing a trailer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,567 #5 Posted January 16, 2021 I'd be all over that upper one for $200. @Oldskool was it you that got one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #7 Posted January 16, 2021 Save them. They are great little tractors. Tiller steer at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,290 #8 Posted January 16, 2021 The one for $ 200 appears to be the most complete and original. You should go get it. The reverse gearing on them was a bit strange, a little rubber wheel would transfer power from the drive pulley, somewhat like the brass ring in the RJ-35. go get it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeninCT 451 #10 Posted January 16, 2021 Not for me- was just confused because there is no hood on either. Tiller steer is cool but doesnt look fun unless you are going really slow. I like the dual rears on that one tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,325 #14 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Rear duals on that one look pretty well past it, likely were loaded with ballast. The Wisconsin has no mag or carb, or plug.. ouch. I see one piece of the outer rim haha. Has a plow though, that's something in itself. The Panzer used a friction reverser too.

stevasaurus 22,763 #17 Posted January 18, 2021 It has to do with, we are not a promotion site for other platforms. Also, by listing the link, you are possibly under-cutting a prospective buyer and creating a competition. This is not what this site is about. Third, the owner of this site says no links. @BeninCT Now, for instance, using the pictures of something rare and posting those for information and discussion is OK. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
