Everything about the rugged Model W spells day-in, day-out go-power on the toughest home, garden or farm jobs.   This tractor's big 7-1/4 hp engine with "Easy-Spin" starting provides all the power you'll ever need. Its heavy steel frame, carburized and hardened gears, heavy duty transmission and precision bearings are just a few of the many important reasons you can depend on the Model W to do the BIG jobs . . . do them right, without trouble ... season after season.  But just as important are the ease and speed with which you master this tractor's great strength and workability.  Finger-tip controls on the handle, even-keel stability and simple gear shift for quick selection of 3 forward or reverse speeds put you in complete command and keep you there. In addition, all attachments for the Model W are easily mounted without tools. Stores quickly, too, with sturdy kick stand.
