Vaughan Flex-Tred Antique Garden Tractor

This is my Vaughan Flex-Tred tractor. It was a complete wreck when I first got it. After a lot of work, it runs pretty good now.

Great restoration, please post a video after it is painted

[Cletrac]

@DammitDrag I will probably never paint it. Sorry.

A friend has restored one, and it runs very well. His was converted to a ride on.

He has another, that I maybe restoring, and it needs handles. did you replace yours, if so, how did you get the oak to bend? And what part of the country do you live?

[Cletrac]

@Chesterb777 The handles are just regular wooden plow handles that are bought the way you see them. They are not hard to find. Just Google "plow handles" and you'll find quite a few suppliers. I live near Cleveland, Ohio.

That's a old Wisconsin engine isn't it? AHH?

[Cletrac]

The engine was built by Vaughan, but it's a real close copy of a Wisconsin AHH. In fact, some parts will interchange.
