These are probably laughed at, a lot, but I think they are pretty neat little tractors. Have you seen a picture of one, with a front mounted mower? That little bracket at the end of the hood, on the tractor in your picture, is the pivot for the lever that raised the mower.
I think there was a little car named Bantam too. I don't know if it's the same company though.
That thing would be awesome for the kids to scoot around on in the parades at the tractor shows. That is what my little MF8 is for besides trim duties for mowing. I wouldn't mind having one of them little buggers.
Bill I do believe there was a car called Bantam, but like you I am not sure if they were made by the same company.

Austin was a British car company, a few upstart sport car companies used austin bodies in american roadsters, you may have heard of one of them, the Ford A/C cobra

Yeah, an AC cobra has been on my "want list" for a long time,be it real or in kit car form.They weren't actually Austins ,although they were British built.
Your thinking of the Ford Shelby Mustang when you say GT500 OR GT350.I've had many Mustangs over the years,not sure which one was my favorite.I know if I had a choice of any Mustang,it would be the 1969 Boss 429,not really all that drivable but I would just like to have one.

These little machines are something I've always wanted to pick up. 2 years ago I missed a complete and running Bantam that sold in the double digits. $75.00 to be exact... I missed it by less than an hour. :wallbanging:
At 75 they stole it. Back my way one not running and very rusty goes for 6 to 700 easily. Mine's really rough but complete with the front rotary mower and I wouldn't sell it for less than 9. That was steal.
I was born in Butler & yes the Bantam Car Company was located there @ one time. (before my time actually)
It should ring a bell W/anyone that remembers the WW-II "Jeep". The winning prototype was presented by Bantam.
Unfortunately the US government did not feel that Bantam could produce the numbers needed & the "Bantam" design "Jeep" was built under license by Ford & Willys.
