Hey guys was working out at my boss’s place last week and came across this old street sweeper in his shed, long story short he wanted it gone and said he couldnt get it to run so i took it home cleaned up the spark plugs and put some new gas in the tanks and boom both motors fired up first try, now i dont know anything about this and was hoping someone here might have a bit of a idea on it obviously its a street sweeper but any ideas as to where its come from or who may have built it would be awesome, have included a couple pics below of the beast and will upload a video of our test run up the driveway later on today, thanks for any help
Wow that’s an antique. Welcome to the forum.

Wow that is a beast bro I haven’t seen anything like that very cool!
You might want to try a lawn equipment forum. We have a lot of people here with expertise in a lot of things I won’t count anyone out either some one here might know more about it.
They are fantastic at clearing the snow of off walkways/sidewalks. Alot of the buildings in NYC use them instead of snowblowers these days
I’ll put one of the photos onto our Facebook page at www.fb.com/worldsweeper/ Be interesting to see if someone has an idea. This is more of a landscaping unit than an actual parking area or street sweeper, though.

Looks like a machine somebody that had a need (and skills) designed and made. (one of a kind!)
Self propelled? That has to be very rare.
