Porter-Cable tractor

[fredwood]

I'm looking for any info on a Porter-cable Mark One garden tractor. I picked it up it last fall.I believe it was made in the early sixties. I can not post a picture because I am a rookie at these new fangled gadgets called computors. Thanks Fred Wood

There is not a lot of info available on them. Even on the net, I've only been able to find a picture of 1 or 2 in the last couple years. I can't recall who right now, but there is a member here who knows some about them. Hopefully he will see your post. Last summer my brother in law had one he used to ride around on at tractor pulls. Don't know if he still has it or not. I have the frame for one, including the rear end and most of the steering parts. (no axle) Didn't even know what it was till he got his. ;)

THanks rokon. I was not sure of the size engine as my porter-cable had no identifing marks on the motor at all. I am debating on whether to keep it or pedal it. Fred Wood
