Rear-Drive 3-Wheeler

Rear-Drive 3-Wheeler MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 30-6-26 Scott Werling, Decatur, Ind., has a lot of fun with this rear-drive 3-wheeler at tractor shows. It's easy to drive and runs at walking speed when at idle. The single wheel drive came from a walking plow. Most people would have attached a sulky to the back but he wanted to be a little different. The front axle came from an old steam tractor. "I used square tubing to connect the front and back. A T handle is used for steering and I made a frame to hold two padded seats. It's powered by a 5 hp Briggs & Stratton motor with an idler belt pulley/tightener. The driveshaft chain-drives the rear axle. It's tightened by a lever on the steering shaft." The machine is very well-built and painted AC orange. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Scott Werling, 302 W. 400 N., Decatur, Ind. 46733 (ph 260 724-4190).
