Here is my latest project that I just finished. I know that it's not a soda machine, but this was a fun one to restore. My daughter had fun helping me with this one. I thought that it would be a quick easy restore, but boy was I wrong. It was challenging to do, but a lot of fun.  |

Awesome job Rod... Would love to have one of those one day.. the 5 & 10 where I grew up STILL has theirs...
Been there since the early 50s... about everyone in my family rode the range on that one... Maybe someday
they'll turn it to pasture and I can get a chance to own it.
again great job!

It's for sale. P.S. It's ROD short for Rodney. Not Rob. I already warned Janet that she is not allowed to be out riding the horse during work hours. Nice Rob... is this for yourself or a customer?

Nice job Rob! I mean Rog! There was one for sale around me a few years back, but the seller thought they were going to retire on it....wanted like $5000 for it! The person mentioned that, during parties, adults liked to ride it as well as the kids! |

Looks great Rod! Takes me back to my youth when I would ride them outside the Kresge store in Clawson, Michigan.
And they are a lot cheaper to own than a real horse!!! I guy in the local newspaper put an ad in the Wanted section that says "I buy anything old that doesn't eat!"...gotta love it!

I need $4,500 for it. I know that sounds high, but try to do one once and see what you end up with. My painter charged me $1,500 just for painting it, then you have the parts that were powder coated, decals, chrome, saddle and bridle was $575.00, and then still had to buy the horse. When I first started I really didn't think that it would be that much to restore, but I got my eyes opened up real fast. It all goes back to a cheap restoration job, or one that you do right. A cheap price you get a cheap restoration job.  |

No this one has a single speed motor in it. I saw that one your talking about on a U-Tube video. You would pull the reigns back and the horse would shift gears. Not sure how he got it to do all that, but that's a little over the top. is this horse ride the one were it speeds up if you pull on the reigns?

the model my old dime store had was the one where you pulled back the reigns it slowed down...
all for a dime... they did a local newpaper story on it years ago (wish I would have kept it) there's
a counter on the inside and they were figuring how many times it had been ridden.
