Do any of you out there got any good pictures of old 'Doodle Bugs' ?
Of course if you do, you should start a new topic under the 'Tractor Pride Photo Forum' section.
Just looking for memories, NJDale

Next time I'm able to go to my parents there are pictures from the 80's of us using my Grandpa's model A "doodle bug". I'll see if I can find them and scan them and add them to this thread.

Dale:

My father-in-law's Putt-Putt is one type of Doodle-Bug. It was built from parts of different cars and trucks. The rear end is off a 1 ton Ford ?, the tranny from a Studebaker, wheels from different types of cars .. Chrysler and Ford if I remember correctly.

Here are a couple pics :D

Just after it was made, my mother-in-law did the modeling :wink:

The last one shows Pepere (my wife's grandfather - Mom's Dad) on the Putt-Putt and Dad manning the scoop digging the basement for their new house.

Dad made one back in the 70's. I don't have any photos of it. he used the transmission and rear end from a 49 Ford. he narrowed the rearend down to 4ft. The engine was a 2 cylinder Wisconsin from an old IH baler. He add two master cylinders from I think chevy trucks to make turning brakes. he made the frame from channel irons. I can't remember what he used for front wheels. I know they were like 4.00x12.

The transmission was belt driven off the engine. it had three belts with an idler pulley for the clutch.
