Tuesday Torque: Doin' Go-Buggies The Hard Way

Once upon a time you would see the occasional buggy at an engine show.  Some old boy or his grandkids would be putting around with a two-wheeled garden tractor and sulky, or maybe a converted Wheel Horse tractor with an old hit and miss engine.  Now these buggies are controversial at many shows because there are too many of them.  Nowadays most of them are golf carts or modern utility vehicles moving able-bodied folks around.  You do have to watch for them when you go to shows.

I like this one.  It is a big engine that the little 1 1/2 HP John Deere can barely spin, and it embodies the best qualities and sentiments of showing off your engines at a show.  You can hear it coming, too, so it doesn't run you over!  I like that! Many Thanks to Merle for spotting this one for us!
