Stanley Steam car ran on wood.

My uncles in WW2, ran on propane, I remember seeing the tanks in the trunks, of the black buicks.

You should be able to design a goat cart.

Or come on out and I will show you where the wild burros are hiding. Hundreds of them.

That is a later model tractor, than what I drove in Texas on the farm, my front wheels were only inches apart and the rear wheels were at least 5 or 6 foot tall, taller than I was at 12 years old.
