Here is another great topic, courtesy of Merle! Sears sold these motor buggies for only a few years, and when you consider they began in 1908 you will understand. Henry Ford began producing the 1909 Model T in late 1908, and that created shockwaves through the young auto industry. With real automobiles on the market, a gas powered buggy didn't stand a chance. Fun to watch, though.
The last video provides a good look at the transmission. Old tractor fans will recognize that it is the same system that was used in Heider tractors.
