Simplicity Wonderboy

[thom]

I picked up a stick steer Simplicity Wonderboy rider. I had one years ago that was gold, sold by Montgomery Wards. My young son enjoyed it. He has 3 boys of his own now and they'll like this one.

Is that a snowplow on the front of the grille?

Sure is a cute little mower.
What motor you plan on putting on it ?

And also do you steer it by moving to stick left and right ? Or back and forth ?

That's so cool.

I wish I still had the huffy Fairlane I rode around as a kid.

I've got a good 4HP B&S to go on it.
Pulling back on the stick tightens the belt, making it go, then leaning the stick left or right steers the wheels.

I discovered that the last push blade I bought, thinking it was another Snapper blade, is actually for the Wonderboy. I just have to make the curved links to connect it to the center of the chassis.

I read somewhere they were trying to market these to ex WW2 pilots

They're more fun that a barrel of drunk monkeys, as my old boss used to say, or the most fun you can have with your clothes on. My old boss was a character. RIP Hawk.
