At one time I thought they had one of the best garden tractors.
Today I would not even take the time to look one over.



 
Do you know who made them for Sears? Wheel Horse maybe.
Mighty Mite Band Mill, Case Backhoe, 763 Bobcat, Ford 3400 w/FEL , 1962 Ford 4000, Int dump truck, Clark forklift, lots of trailers. Stihl 046 Magnum, 029 Stihl. complete machine shop to keep everything going.

Yep Roper made them. David Bradly made the first Sears tractors. I have
a Roper and it's one of my very best tractors.
It's an oldie... I think whirlpool makes them now.



 

Roper was a manufacturer of lawn and garden equiment in the US during the latter half of the 20th Century. Roper began building outdoor power equipment in 1966 when the George D. Roper Company purchased the former David Bradley manufacturing works from Sears. Roper continued to supply lawn equipment to Sears for the next thirty years. In 1989, Roper was purchased by General Electric (GE) and Roper outdoor unit was sold to AB Electrolux. Roper became part of their American Yard Products (AYP) division which included the Husqvarna brand. This division was later established as its own company using the Husqvarna name

Jacobsen made many Sears/Craftsman mowers in the 70's.  Of course they also made many other brands.  Just changed the paint color and logos.

I had a few of the electrics. They really had some power for electric.
But when it came time to change the battery's I gave them up.
I still have parts of them laying around. General Electric made them.
Wheel Horse also painted them red and sold them.
