The other tractor in the first pic is a Sears Custom 6 or 7, and the one in the second picture is a tube-frame Bolens.

Chris,that tractor belonged to my Great Uncle and was stolen in 1954, I appreciate you bringing it to our attention,we have desperately been searching for it since.:D I haven't a clue,but it looks familiar,like one of those Kit Tractors from Popular Mechanics years ago.

Gene, I found a similar looking "Wards" tractor on the Yesterdays Tractors GT gallery. Looks to have the same rear fenders, steering column, and intermediate pulleys. http://www.antiquetractors.com/cgi-bin/photo_pic.cgi?pic=http;//www.antiquetractors.com/gphotos/a7974.jpg&firstrec=1&lastrec=15&Parameter=garden%20mark&mode=All&what=gphotos

Marty I bet there is a good story about that 112 you found. Thought you may have seen these up north as well. Fellow who owns this green one is kinda proud of it. Think I may save my $ for AC parts but it sure was an adventure finding out. Never heard of a Midland however internet info says they also made 2 wheelers. Still think it looks like a mini airport tug.

There is a Midland walkbehind sitting out rusting away at a local theme park. Tried since I became a single man to talk ole George out it. Sad thing is the orginal owner offer it to me before George got it. Has a plow, disc and sickle mower with it. B-112 was my first rubber necking score about 6 months after I got the 725, the begining of my fever.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
