Awesome stuff!  I do love Wheel Horse especially, but seeing other brands in the mix does add some flair to the show :handgestures-thumbupright:

A nice older couple stopped by and got out and looked, she said he was happy to stop and see something mechanical on display since all the car shows and everything was cancelled this year.  She said it was the first he smiled in long time.  Kinda makes you think how 8 simple little tractors made someones day

Thanks for taking the time to set that all up for display and also for sharing with us. 

You have a very nice assortment.

A very nice display indeed.  It is amazing how something simple like garden tractors can evoke a response that strong in a total stranger.  However, in times like these it is the little things that can brighten a day or encourage someone else...

 

 

Well done sir.👍🏻

I've learned the hard over the last few years..... It's ALWAYS the little things that seem to count the most.

The drivers eye from the gemco and the david bradley, the gemco has the neatest stance, for a such a small tractor you feel like your king of the world driving it, no brakes just a drive lever!

 

the david bradley is fun too all the the controls you need 4 hands to properly drive it.

If I parked 8 in front of my house there might only be 5 when I go to bring them back in ! Sad thing is they would be taken for scrap metal. You bring anything metal to the curb around here and its gone in minutes. Ahhhhhh city livin !

Thanks, they are neat, built between 1958 and 59 before Porter Cable sold off their lawn and garden line.  Aside from the sheet metal the tractor design was produced by several manufacturers

I kept a registry of the Porter Cables I figure they built around 2500, I documented around 40.  They powered by a 5 3/4hp briggs typical of the era, and a 3spd transaxle
