Antique Tractors Online.com

This site is dedicated to the David Bradley walk-behind tractor, which was manufactured for Sears by the David Bradley Corporation between 1946 and 1967. I first became aware of the David Bradley walking tractor after seeing one that a neighbor had when I was much younger. This was back in the early 70's, and even back then the one that I saw was already old and rusty. I was fascinated by the fact that it actually had "big tractor" type implements, which made it much more interesting to me than the old beat up rototiller my dad had. I didn't give it much more thought until many years after that, when a co-worker mentioned to me that his brother was cleaning out one of his out buildings and had found an old two wheeled tractor. He figured that since I was an antique engine collector, I might know someone who was interested in what to him was just scrap iron. I gladly relieved him of the burden of storing this rusty old piece, and saved him the trouble of hauling it to the junk man. That rusty hulk became the tractor you see here plowing in competition at the Vintage Garden Tractor Club of America's annual Plowtest.
