Wheel weights look like a big clutch. Never seen anything like that, very clever.

 

The red one is a graham Bradley. Never heard of them.

 

They were sold through the Sears Roebuck catalogs.

 

I had a Ford 861 for a few years that I used to mow the old building site on one of our farms. It was a great tractor and I still kinda' regret selling it

 

Was the anything Sears didn't sell?

 

Fords were real popular at home. Everyone had one for bush hogging, and plowing their truck patch.

 

From selling everything to not selling anything

 

Do you happen to recall how much it brought at auction?

I doubt it. There are even Craftsman houses in California! Though I don't know if it had anything to do with Sears Roebuck and company. But I strongly suspect that it did.

I feel as strongly about Sears as a lot of folks do about Walmart.
The entire upper echelon of the company should be taken out and shot! I've seen way too many people who lost their business and all their savings to this outfit over the years.

 

Something I've never actually understood.... but I reckon this aint the time, or the place...

 

Starting to show its age in a couple spots but this COE is SWEET!! Tall rubber. I need to ask what's in it for motor and tranny. Betting it scoots. Local farm owns it by the looks of it.
