953 nut 55,176 #1 Posted February 6 Atomic Babe The Atomic Babe Garden Tractor was built by Doylestown Machinery and Iron Works, Doylestown PA, in the late 1940s or early 1950s. As is the case with many obscure brands of garden tractor there is very little reliable history of the time period in which they were built or the quantity of production. The Atomic Babe was powered by a NOVO single cylinder gasoline engine and utilized a Crosley automobile transmission. Some other garden tractor manufacturers including Economy used the Crosley transmission. At least one other company used the Atomic Babe as the base for their Garden tractor. The Sheppard SD-1 was basically an Atomic Babe with a 5,4 horse power single cylinder air cooled Sheppard Diesel engine. There is no data available about the quantity of SD-1s produced. 8 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
