[SEL] Old Farm Master gen-set

[Nelson Johnsrud]

I'm having some trouble with the photo, but yes, Sears did sell a lot of farm related equipment under the Farm Master logo.  Much of it was built by David Bradley corp., but there were several other suppliers.  Winco made some of the generators.  I'm sure there was at least one other manufacturer of some of their generators, but memory is not coming up with it right now.  In many cases, the stand-alone equipment was the same unit as was used with the tractors, just with different mounts.  A picture would help confirm that.
