This is my old I belive 1956 Bantam Tractor that was made by the Standard Manufacturing Co. The made small garden tractors but also made a small amout of the for an amusement park in Pittsburgh, Pa. the park was called West view Park. It closed in the late 70's. The ride has a smaller seat for childrens butts and a platform on the back for an adult to ride with the kid. It is supose to have a front bumper that goes aroind the front but I didn't get it with the ride. I'll have to make one. I have the engine off to get it running. What do you guys think?
Oh my this is soooooo cool! How long have you had this? Are you thinking of having this completely restored? I would love to find out more about this cool ride! If you could email me with any kind of information that you may have, that would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you and look forward to hearing back from you!
Thanks Jill P. I've had it for about 5 years. I am going to restore it. I bought it off the grand son of the fellow who worked on these at the park. After the park closed they auctioned everything off. He bought two of these at the auction. The grand son rode this one as a kid then passed it down to his kid. They got there use out of it and decided to sell it after it sat in there shed for years. I'm trying to gather some more info. on the park and the ride.
