helitim Posted November 13, 2016 Report Posted November 13, 2016 If you live anywhere in or near California and need a small but strong tug, read on.... This tug has belonged to my Father in Law for 10 years that I know of. We finally sold the Cessna 195 so we don't need it anymore. I have looked it over and cannot find a data plate as to who the manufacturer is. It looks like some Harlan tugs but I'm just not sure. The engine is a Continental. Have no idea how many hours on it. I know it cranks and runs very smoothly. Has a manual 3 speed hydrostatic transmission. It will run about 15 or so mph top speed but works best at very low speed and high torque operations. It will turn extremely tight and get into surprisingly small parking spots. Everything on it seems to work fine. The lights on top are very useful around the hangar at night. I know it was used for towing a Bamboo bomber, T6 and most recently the 195. Very strong yet small machine. It does smoke a fair amount from the engine but it has been doing this for the 10 years I've seen it around. It is currently at Livermore, Ca but can easily be trailered. $2,000 or best cash offer.

aviatoreb Posted November 16, 2016 Report Posted November 16, 2016 Darn - if I were a bit closer I would buy that thing for my 1.5 mile commute to work. Quote
