"We use it for some chores around the farm but mostly we built it for fun and to take to parades," says Coleman..
The truck is powered by a Honda 185CC engine with 5 gears and is equipped with a 112 Deere garden tractor rear end transaxle that's got an additional four forward gears and reverse. The combination of the two gives the truck 5 speeds in each of the gears in transaxle. Top speed is 35 mph, Contact FARM SHOW Followup, Herman Coleman, Rt. 1, Box 17, Vici, Okla, 73859 (ph 405 995-4425).
