I assume it only does low speed?
Have you had to move it in and out of the workshop?
Reminds me of the old style trams with those brass lever controls.


Getting it to start was a nightmare - :dizzy: Quite a kick back from it on occasions.

Once started you select foward or reverse with the l.h lever and then steer with the r.h one - it has a small pedal for the throttle and a large pedal for braking which doesn't work but putting it into neutral stops it ! In fact without dropping the propshaft off you can't even push it.
