953 nut 55,163 #1 Posted April 15 Farm Ette Garden Tractor When the Tom Moore Tractor Company, Mantua, OH, began marketing the Farm-Ette line of lawn and garden equipment they were attempting to serve all markets. The had some unique offerings with one, two, three or four wheels. Also, there was “Triger-Tach Power-Pak.” The Triger-Tach Power-Pak consisted of a detachable handle/engine package that could be attached to a variety of lawn and garden implements. It had a Briggs & Stratton 2 ¼ horse power air cooled engine with a recoil starter. You could select the “Garden Tractor which was a two wheeled framework that attachments could be connected to. You could select 18-inch cultivators, a 6-inch turning plow, a set of 5-inch disks, a 24-inch snow plow or a 24-inch spreader. Other units that could be propelled by the Power-Pack an 18-inch Reel Mower, 20-inch Rotary Mower or a 16-inch Tiller. The Model 22 lawn tractor is very cute, probably not too functional, but cute! The two small rear wheels are mounted to steerable casters and the somewhat larger front wheel is the drive wheel. The one wheeled Model B was primarily a cultivator but could also push a 20-inch snow plow, 21-inch reel mower or power a 36-inch sickle bar mower. The Farm Ette Model C was a conventional two wheeled walk-behind garden tractor available in two horsepower and three and a half horsepower sizes. The four wheeled Model 75 riding garden tractor was powered by a Lauson 5.5 hp engine and had a three-speed transmission. One unique attachment that would be very useful, the Cary-All.

Sparky-(Admin) 21,314 #2 Posted April 15 Amazing what they got done back then with such low HP machines. My push mower has more HP than most of what was in that article 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
