Pullstart 62,789 #3 Posted September 6, 2020 Awesome stuff! I do love Wheel Horse especially, but seeing other brands in the mix does add some flair to the show 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #7 Posted September 6, 2020 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 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #9 Posted September 6, 2020 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.👍🏻 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #11 Posted September 7, 2020 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. 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #12 Posted September 7, 2020 Very well done! Quite a variety! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,593 #13 Posted September 7, 2020 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 ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AHS 1,439 #17 Posted September 7, 2020 Cool, cool, cool!! What’s it have for motor/tranny? What years it? Wow, they must have been rare! @jabelman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #18 Posted September 7, 2020 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 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
