Buffalo Springfield

[sdarmstrong]

hi
Recently purchased one of these . Any body know which model it is and where I might get a manual for it ?

Am I the only one that the subject line made me think of this:

Often wondered about the story for that choice of name.

Not much information right now but I would check out some of the links on this page and see what they may have to offer:

I looked up buffalo springfield 3 wheeled roller and came across some pics of similar rollers, couldn't get a pic to download though. Seems to be a late 50's or early 60's with the diesel engine and solid rollers.

Thanks for that . The engine no would seem to indicate early 40’s

That’s a name I haven’t heard in years.

The Buffalo Springfield Roller co., was bought out by the Koehring Co. in 1956. You might try to get a hold of whoever owns the Koehring name now. They might have old records of the serial numbers.

First thing to come to mind Hansen!! The rock group, then REO Speedwagon popped in for a visit!!!A lot of them named for inconspicuous machines in the day that few beyond us Old Farts would know.

I used to run one of those. Had a Detroit in it. Not sure what year it was though

It definitely did not have a steering wheel though. Company I worked for had a buffalo and 2 Hubers. The Hubers had gas engines
