Henry was the Man alright.
He had his faults but he was still the Man.
I've used tiller steering on a couple machines and it is
much more direct,simpler in design and more intuitive than this steering wheel business that we seem to be saddled with.
Thanks for posting

And a few members will be impressed at Mr. Ford's fuel of choice, at least in the beginning......hemp oil.
Talk about renewable.
