  1. I have one that runs, my father purchased two machines at an auction in the mid 1960's one complete the other for parts. Mine is called a furnco load a dump, powered by a 4hp Briggs with a centrifical belt clutch to a forward/reverse trans axel with a cable operated drum brake and posi lock axel incorporated on the trans. All the operating function labels are in German. I fabricated linkage to operate forward/reverse function and was able to adapt motor cycle cables to replace the throtle , brake , and posi Iv'e also seen the same machine called a Furnco Powr Barrow. Very power full and well made, will post some pics soon. the clutch works on the same principal as a snowmobile at idle the clutch pulleys are wide the drive belt slacks, when the engine is throttled up the slack in the drive belt allows the r.p.m.to increase to prevent it from stalling, at the same time the clutch pulleys become narrow increasing the diameter of the clutch pulley which removes the slack in the drive belt. All this occurs within a couple of seconds of reaching full throttle the machine moves at a pace of a slow walk.
