The following is a YouTube video I put together on a snow day about Vintage Lawn & Garden Tractors/Equipment Advertising . The link will take you to YouTube. Thank You for watching if you choose to do so.
Thank You for watching. I knew I’d forget something I even forgot to put in a picture of the Gilson I looked at this past FallGreat video! Looks like your collection of literature is amazing!
One thing missing though - I didn't see anything about the Sheppard SD-1. It was the first diesel L&G tractor (and maybe one of the first of any fuel). As a side note, all the Sheppard diesels (SD-1 through SD-4) were actually the very first diesel-powered tractors produced in the US. Unfortunately they were ahead of their time and somewhat expensive so they didn't sell very well.
