[AT] Garden tractor wanted.

I would recommend that you consider an Economy or Power King, Don.  It's big enough to do real work.  There are around 2500 of us who compare notes all the time in a Yahoo Groups website.  They started production in 1946 and the last one was made around 1996, so the total production is finite.

Subject: [AT] Garden tractor wanted.

My 2 y.o. grandson came to visit last summer and fell in love with 
driving the tractor.  He quickly found the "Make More Noise" lever 
(throttle to us a little older).  He still talks of "Grampa's tractor".

My son and grandson driving the tractor around.

My son does a beautiful job restoring cars.  He is currently working on 
the '64 Plymouth Valiant my grandfather bought new.  Last year he did a 
'68 Dodge pickup that has won awards and is currently on display in a 
museum.

His pickup freshly painted.

I am looking for a 50s era garden tractor.  Something that he can 
restore with the grandson.  It does not need an engine but the more it 
looks like a real tractor the better.  Something like a Wheel Horse 
would be perfect.  I am in the Missouri Ozarks and he is north of Denver 
so anywhere between here and there.
