It kinda looks like a panzer but the grill is one I have never seen before.

I dont know but it needs resqued.Grille dont look like a panzer to me.

A Panser was my first thought also, but the grill and the engine mounting are wrong.

I don't know why, but I keep think about those old Aircraft bomb tracport tractors.

[ehertzfeld 1]

Yeah I was only thinking the back half reminds me of a panzer. Could it be homemade?

I'd say Panzer, does the rear axle look like a shortened car rear axle. I heard that Panzers used shortened car axles (from Dodge). JH

What ever it is it would be nice to save it. If you're not interested Perry PM me, I might be.

Could it be a Tiger. I saw one on ebay once and this one definatley matches the clunky look it had. Kind of a cross between an old speedex and panzer.

its not mine. but rumor has it, its a garden mark estate. or a pup. made by monkey wards..

[ehertzfeld 1]

All I know is that it has a Briggs in it! Model 19 I suspect.

The hoods and grills are different aren't they?

Might be an old Economy- looks like an offset on the front end like they had, but hard to tell from the pic's.

here is the latest from over at another board. qoute..... I have a couple of these. One of them is Midland (I think that it is a pup) and the other one is badged as a Montgomery Wards Garden Mark. I also have a 59 Wards catalog that shows it. Midland was making walk behind tractors for Wards for years and I think that this was the first riding garden tractor that wards sold.

It's not an Economy. They never made any with the engine mounted sideways. One thought I had was a Porter-Cable, but I recall their hood/grilles were a bit narrower. Interesting find...Oh duh, just saw the previous post, already ID'd!
