It was the engine used on that scooter they made, the Topper
From "A Brief History of Harley Davidson Golf Carts"
"The Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company started making golf carts the same year William "Willie G" Davidson joined the company, 1963.
The first carts were three wheelers and later they added the four wheel versions. In 1969 Harley sold their company to American Machine and Foundry Company. In 1971 they legally changed their name to AMF and carts were first labeled with the AMF logo in 1972.
AMF continued production until they sold the cart division to Columbia Par Car in late 1981. As a side note, in 1999 Columbia Par Car bought Legend Electric Vehicles.
Legend had purchased Nordskog earlier which was the company that purchased Westinghouse who had purchased Marketeer."

They made 'em before the AMF years.
ReplyDelete2 strokes, mechanically similar to the Topper scooter. They were popular in gated communities and the like.
My high school grounds department had one.
ReplyDeleteMy father, who rode Indians after WWII, was quite proud of his Harley-Davidson golf cart.
