This Goat is owned by Sid Brown of St. Clair, MI., but was displayed at
Wolcott by its caretaker, Kurt Kitter. Kurt told me that it was purchased
from Ohio in 2001, and that it came in pieces. A lot of them! It took
45 days to check out all the parts, order the parts that where missing, or that
needed to be replaced, repainted, or re-assembled. He continued, "I think
that it drives very comfortable for a MV, aside from the engine noise, hearing
protection is a must! You have to pay attention (driving) because of the 4
wheel steering, it re-acts quite differently at road speeds. The drive train
is rather labor intensive (98 lube points) but for the amount of use the average
hobbyist gives it, lubing it at the beginning of show season with a good grade of
synthetic grease and you're good for the year."
