[SEL] Walk Behind Garden Tractor/Doug Tallman

[Luke Tonneberger]

Hi Doug,

I saw your response about the Fairbanks engine and thought I'd drop you a 
line. I happened to see a walk behind garden tractor at a scrap yard this 
past Saturday. I forget the name, but I think it was made in Wisconsin. The 
engine on the front of it had a tag that said 'B'B at the top. Do you (or 
someone else) know who would have made the engine? It was direct coupled to 
the transmission. Someone cut off the wheels and welded on rims with rubber 
tires. The handles were fabricated and didn't look original. Engine wouldn't 
turn over by hand. Had the cultivators still attached. I would have brought 
it home but already had the pickup truck full of goodies. I plan on going 
back to get it in the next couple weeks if time allows.  By the way I had 3 
rear ends from David Bradley walk behinds, a nice pulley, a complete pump 
jack with one broken arm, an Eismann mag for parts, a huge single cylinder 
head for a gas engine, a very nice wood burning stove, and a bunch of wood 
to cut up on the buzz rig. The truck was squatting pretty good for the ride 
home.
