We used to pull a plow or cultivator with a chain to tractor to keep weeds at bay in garden.When it started to grow in we would swap rear wheels around to make width very slim ,as you put it.

Wow! Very neat Jim. I don't think I could ever pass on one if I ran across it. Those are neat...slim little buggers.

I was just at a show yesterday that had one of each type of steering setup for the Beavers.

Here's a good side by side comparison.

Yes. As mentioned, not very precise.

I noticed that but couldn't tell for sure what it was. I wonder how they transfer the torque around the curve?

Chris apparently they made them both ways as the second tractor does indeed have a steering wheel. Note the support for the steering "column".

Boy did I blow that. In the second photo it looks to me like the guy is holding a small steering wheel. Now after doing a little reading I see these things are tiller steer. So much for cables in a pipe
joe fess Posted - 02/11/2012 : 15:17:57
the front grill was steel and the top was a form of plastic. it had the most friendly system to use press on front of footrest for forward heal of it for reverse,that is it

I like the tiller models with the sheet metal over the engine. Kinda reminds me of oldron's Gibson.
joe fess Posted - 02/11/2012 : 12:04:13

The top picture is tiller steering.
The bottom one does use a cable. I've heard they're pretty imprecise, to say the least.

Here's a pic of one from a local show.
