I had a 2 wheeler that came in a kit. Would have been pretty nice except for the Tecumsey engine, which was very hard to start and keep running. Finally got tired of it and got rid of it. It was called the Bronc from the Heald Co in Benton Harbor, Mi. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

I had the Super Bronco in the 1970's. Dang thing had a rope start & it was a real pain yanking on it. I literally wore mine out on the farm and about 15 miles of road between home & a friends house. Dad & I put it together in the milk room, he noted I spent more time in the milk room that month than the rest of my youth combined. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

The neighbors that had one also were dairy farmers and used it to bring the cows in from pasture to milk. It worked well unless you crossed deep water, then the belt would get wet and slip, otherwise it was a good machine. My parents were thinking of getting the bronco for my sister and me to help chase cattle but ended up buying a 80cc yamaha dirt bike for about the same money from the local bike dealer. I think the bronco would have rode over the pasture holes and ruits easier than that little 80, but it was a good little bike too. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

Thanks fellas, didn't expect to get this much information on it, too bad they arent still producing, they seemed like a good solid machine if driven responsibly. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

Hi Moline guy, I also have the bench seat and when the kids were home it was on the machine, but I like the single seat so that's whats on it now. No the company is now gone, back in the early 90's when the 3 wheeler companies were being sued they (Heald) stopped building the 3 wheelers but continued with the 4 wheel heavy hauler until about 2000 when they sold the tooling/drawings to MTD (this is what I've learned. I would dearly love to an original 4 wheel heavy hauler they looked like a scaled down WWII jeep. Many parts are available from Kimball Industries in Benton Harbor, MI. GB in MN PS I forgot the original company filed for bankruptcy about the time of the 3 wheeler suits. This post was edited by MNGB at 16:56:37 02/26/10 2 times. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

You maybe thinking of the Heald Kits they made 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and 4 wheelers as posted they were kits and had many options. I purchased a 3 wheeler kit back in 1982 and still use it regularly replaced the Tecumseh engine many years about with a 11 hp Honda and completely restored it a couple of years ago. One thing that I really like about them is they have a differential so steering and turns are nice.

Yep, thats the one, except theres had the bench seat. So i take it they aren't in business anymore, cant seem to find any dealers anyway? Great looking machine, i sure would like to find one, might just have to build one. Thanks for the picture. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

Carl Heald (sp?). They were kits you ordered and assembled yourself. They had mini bikes and three wheelers and used turf size tires. That is so cool someone rememberd that! I think I even have literature I sent for as a kid. I wanted one SSSSOOOO bad! There were many options like you said - chrome fenders, bench seats, lighting, different engine sizes, etc. Good nastalgia, Bill Fortigate vm license crack.

The ones i am thinking of had a wide rear axle compared to ATV's today, atleast 5', they might have made narrower ones, or i was just a kid and they seemed wide at the time. Right or wrong 3 of us would ride beside each other on the seat. Lots of fun. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

I remember seeing the ads,but I don't rememeber who made them. Did Sears and Roebuck have something similar? Just something gnawing at the back of my mind saying they did. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

A similar one was the Mud Bug, and I believe there's at least one other type that my foggy memory won't allow me to name at the moment. Got a Mud Bug setting out back of the house--horse traded an old air compressor for it years ago, but never got it running well enough to be worth using. They're considerably smaller than the Heald units, and my, um, shall we say, 'ample' frame doesn't fit it very well. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] |

I got one of these Heald Haulers from a guy at work a couple years ago and it's the handiest thing I ever drug out of shed and got running. Has a 16hp Briggs horizontal and a belt clutch system similar to snowmobiles of the 70's, 500 pound cargo capacity, dump box, lights, and this one came with a lift kit for the rear axle to raise it up and go down the rows and spray soybeans with. My wife and I use it for gardening, hauling wood, rocks, etc and also for just giving the grandaughter a ride. Heald also made minibikes, 3-wheel speedsters with no cargo bed, and later on 4 wheel versions. With the tricylce setup you have to be careful turning. | [Log in to Reply][No Email] | [Options][Printer Friendly][Posting Help][Return to Forum][Log in to Reply]
