  • I had met up with a local subscriber at a car swap meet and he told me about this antique sled/cart/boat/plane kinda thing, and thought it would make for great video content, well I agree. lets check out this trade and see what we got.

    Those larger wheels would make a nice lift kit for this buggy! The pusher blade and ski kit are truly fantastic. I wonder how many other rigs like this are hiding in sheds all across the Northern parts of the continent? I grew up in MN, and recall seeing a few different fan boats and such with skis for ice travel. Sailboat type contraptions, too!

    Awesome trade! I'm looking forward to the videos for this one! BTW, those northeastern 'Meteors' sure look a lot like the jet contrails we have out here in the boonies.
    Also, looking at that cart from an engineering standpoint:
    1. Could use a better propeller. That prop looks homemade, and will not give near the thrust of a properly designed one.
    2. Prop/Engine is mounted very high, raising the center of gravity, and resulting in lateral instability.
    3. The prop thrust vector is critical. Too high, and it will put downward force on the front wheels. (note that he may have done this intentionally to provide better steering.) Too low, it will lift the front wheels, resulting in no steering.
    4. Same for weight distribution. Looks like a lot of the weight is behind the back wheels.
    Bottom line: To hell with all this technical crap. Just get in, punch it, and hope for the best.
    We'll all be watching.

      My brother and I had identical ones back in 1960 or 1961. The slippery-belt drive system left something to be desired, and the lack of suspension made the thing a rough ride on our long gravel driveway and nearby farm roads. I think our parents got rid of them when we took them out on the paved road (blind hill, 50 mph traffic).

    "Look at me, being all proactive." I love it. On the occasions I manage that, I'm always surprised too.
    I'm intrigued with the little go-kart. When I was in junior high school I coveted go-karts and wanted to build one, but the only engines I could get were off old rotary mowers and I couldn't come up with a simple (i.e., cheap) drive mechanism. And now here is this '59 kart with its vertical-shaft engine -- 13 year old me wants to see how they did it. 74 year old me still wants to drive it!

    The cork in the petcock was probably dry. The leak might have stopped on its own if given time to absorb some gasoline and swell up.
    "If the wine bottle is stored exclusively upright, the cork could dry out, causing the entry of oxygen into the bottle, which would shorten the life of our wine."
