it has friction drive on the front wheels

The tow hook is connected to a chain and is activated through a hand-crank mechanism

It is marked "Made in Japan" on the right hand side of the bed (see picture)

It does not appear to have been played with and is in close to mint condition with some very minor surface rust on the inside of the bed
