Does anyone know who the original manufacturer might have been for this old Craftsman tractor?

Sorry about the posting on top of myself, I'm having some problems with multiple browser sessions tonight.

chris,  your Frankentractor is a Roper, isn't it?

Nope on the David Bradley pic. This one is a teeny tiny trike with a single nose wheel and foot pegs just in back of the front axle. I had a difficult time getting the photos to load into my 'puter, and that may be the problem with it not showing up, although it seems to be there when I opened it up this morning.

already been there and done this pic already. and miss snowshoveler posted a link to a big website about it .

nice machine but was prone to fall over easily. i see this one has a new briggs engine on it.and so did the pic that we saw a month or so ago.

I'm gonna try some pics again. I don't know why these were so difficult to get into and out of my 'puter. Never mind, I can't seem to get these pics to work at all, even in my own computer. It's gotta be a software issue on my end. This was a totally different tractor from the David Bradley trike, probably about 3 feet long, and resembled a clown's little trike it was so small with foot pegs right above the single front wheel.

email me the pic Joe. I'll try to put it up.  robmints@qis.net

woops ...sorry about that one ill keep my big mouth shut until i see your pic

I found out it is a 1954 +/- Hiller Yardman tractor with a 1.7 HP 2 cycle motor and brakes were optional

Does it look something like this?  If this picture doesn't come through I'm going to think that this thread is jinxed.

Yep that's the critter! You guys still can't see any of the pics I posted? On reply #10, I have 3 pics of the same tractor model as Miss Snowshoveler posted but in a creamy white color with some surface rust?
