I remember those Goose, and I saw one in operation once. A local guy had it and he was really proud of it. It had a heavy string tied to a kill switch in case of mishap. He had it on a sharp looking little stepside Chevy. It worked pretty slick.

If I remember right, the PTO model turned the opposite direction from the wheel mounted one.
