If you'll Google handyman tractor, a suttonauction.com hit will show, that has a pic of a "rare Handyman Tractor, Assoc. Mfr, Waterloo, Iowa", which looks like the right period, with a flywheel engine. I'd guess greygoats engine was attached to someones tractor frame to make a tractor, possibly by Associated Manufacturers, Inc, of Waterloo, to make the tractor in the pic. Google them and some histories will come up, which I did NOT check to see if tractor kits were sold, etc. Associated Manufacturers or Handyman/Handy Man do not appear in Wendels 900 names, and no Handy Man/Handyman appears in my notes, but I believe I may've omitted some of these early farm-engine hor and hor/opp engined tractors. HTH.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
