I picked up a Bradley with a Continental engine. Bringing it back to life!! Got spark in it lately. Any chance you sending me photos of the carb ,gov area? Springs and linkage. I appreciate it
My old boss had a two wheel tractor behind the BBQ restaurant that I worked at. He never paid any attention to it. The building had been his grandparents, and he was in his seventies himself. I scoured the property (this was right outside of town, in an area that wasn't developed until the 90s), and I found several attachments that belonged to the tractor. It was missing the engine, but everything else was there. I told him that I wanted it. He was a hustler, and kind of held it over my head for a while. I was just gonna get a predator engine from harbor freight, and patch up the rusted areas with welder. I showed up one day and it was gone. Some older guy saw it and gave him more money than I was planning on paying for it. I have no idea what particular model it was, but it would run attachments from the front and the back. It had a cutter, for the front, a disc and a plow that I recall. I'm sick that missed out on it, but at least it went to a good home.
I really enjoyed this video. My dad had a David Bradley with a sulky, rototiller, lawn mower, and snow blower. What a joy to operate! You could not wear one out. Foolishly, I scrapped it in the 1980's - would love to have another one.
What great memories I have of a two wheel tractor . Not only did I the garden with one when I was a kid , but also hooked a wagon to the back of it and road all over the place ! About 1963 thru 1965 .... good times !!!
Quite a nice collection of machines you have there Jeff. It's nice to see someone else enjoying them as much as I do. I thought I had a lot of these but you definitely have me beat in regards to quantity. Thank you for sharing the video.
I bought a two wheel tractor with a rotavator which came with some extra bits, after watching this man i learned what I had. Thanks for this informative look at a great collection.
Great video! I had a David Bradley many years ago when I did garden tilling as a springtime sideline job. I used a Troybilt horse model tiller to do already broken ground. For new gardens, I used the DB with a single bottom plow to break the ground, then the disc harrow attachment to bust up the clods, then went over it with the Troybilt to finish it. That was the ideal combo of machines for the task. Sadly had to sell the DB at some point when I moved and had no room for it. I still regret doing that. The DB's power was amazing. I'm pretty sure it had a 1 3/4 hp engine, that had the pulling power of a modern 20 hp riding tractor. Maybe the DB's transmission was the reason?
Love this video! I've found pictures online before, but never a video with lots of answers. My dad bought a David Bradley in the late 40's to work the garden next to our cottage in Wisconsin. He had the garden plowed the first time by a local farmer who used mules. The following year, the farmer traded the mules in on a Ford-Ferguson tractor and Dad decided, with the DB, he could do stuff himself. My cousin thought he was crazy, but we spent a couple of months at the cottage and we had a large garden all the time. Our DB had a 1½-HP B&S. The first mod was to make it easier to shut it down. You had to lift the hood to short out the plug. Dad bored a hole in the hood and stole some pieces of our Tinkertoys to make a push stick to short it with the hood closed. He bought the sickle bar (still wish I had it!), a single bottom plow, cultivator, lawn roller, and dozer blade for it. He made a garden cart to tow behind and he could stand in it and drive it. He also made a belt-driven cordwood saw that it powered. He tried towing a couple of old cast iron reel mowers with it, but that never worked out. They jammed too easily and would just slide. Finally, he bought a kit to add reverse to it. It was actuated with a push rod with a ball end. It added at least another belt and pulley at a cost of some already scarce power. It surely was handy to get out of tight places though. It didn't have ag tires. He used the snow tires and chains he kept from his '39 DeSoto.
my Dad had one and he was so proud of it. I remember the rope dangling near the rear and the directional levers to raise to determine which wheel spin. he dropped it off to get work done on it back in North Carolina and his body failed him so he never went back to retrieve it before he passed. A pleasure watching your video, he would have loved it, thank you sir
Wow, I just traded a running car for a David Bradley and another 2 wheel tractor that will need alot of TLC.. but I cut my teeth on small engine stuff That is a fantastic collection of history. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Thank you for showing your tractors and telling us about them. I have a Simplicity walk behind that my father gave me. From what I can figure out online, it's a model from the late 1940's. My father and one of his friends went splits on it around the mid 1960's. I remember that my father's share of the purchase was $100. That was serious money for him. It was great to watch you talking about your tractors especially because you are so well versed in the history and operation of each model. It was a pleasure to listen to you.
$100 was a lot then. FYI, my dad at the time was a union industrial electrician in 1960, and was working on missile silo's out west. He wrote home about it and I still have the letter. He was amazed at the wage he was getting and the hours. He was getting $4 per hour, and 40 hours per week. So for him, $100 would be equal to 25 hours work. In today's money, where someone with his same job would be making (most likely) $40 per hour, his part ownership would have cost him $1000. If that analogy holds up, you can see how similar modern walk behind tractors like the Troybilt and BSC cost over $2000.
Him- People are inherently not smart when it comes to machinery. There was a thread in a homesteading group shaming women who wear pants. I commented wearing a skirt on the ranch, with the work I do every day could get me killed. Power tools, tractors, barb wire, it's romantic but not practical, and was fully ripped for it until a lady spoke up about her sister who was sucked into a Troybuilt tiller by her long skirt. She lived, but it wasn't pleasent. Dad taught me young. No hanging jewelry, hair up, no loose clothing. Anything a machine can grab, it will.
Great video. Grandpa had a Simplicity 2 wheel tractor for his garden , has a big 5 horse Briggs, 12 inch wheels, and a cultivator. Moved up to her house in 1993 and revived out for a few years, but it had rusted wheels and dry rotted tires, and eventually traded it for a welder. Dad had a Standard Twin that had high cleared metal wheels. I remember him using it before he got a Rototiller from Wards.
Quebec is somewhat (too) far away to come over and have a close look to your equipment, but I do agree for 100% with your "exposé" on the efficiency of the equipment you use. I envy in particular your small compost of manure spreader. I wish I could copy from Mr James Potter a charm allowing me to "diagon-ally" it 5000 miles east as to have it landed in my garden... Hugo G from Belgium.
I grew up in the 1950s and 60s with my dad’s David Bradley. We had a cycle bar for the front, a one bottom plow for the back, and a small square trailer that hooked up to the tractor as well. Dad used the cycle bar to clear a field for neighbor kids to play baseball. Mostly the DB was used to plow the garden.
Back in the forties my dad started out with a Perrin tractor, I think it was out of Oregon. I have a picture of it somewhere with the name of the tractor on the back of the photo. I tried to look it up and I cannot find anything on the internet about it.
AWESOME collection sir" thanks for the education on 2 wheel tractors" I remember my farther buying one from Western Auto back in the 70's" This video made me now wonder what happened to that equipment " THANKS AGAIN SIR""
Nice video, thanks! You ever play with a Kaiser Frazier? I have 2, both 46 models, one was purchased new by my grandfather. Every year I get the old girl out and plow the garden. Not much, just 20' x 40'but I like to play with it! Fresh fuel, and she will start in 3 pulls or less. I can remember as a boy trying to use it, I tried to drive it, and it won. You got to let it do what it wants to do, guide it, and it's fine. You try to drive it, and it will give you a workout for sure!!! And being a 2 cycle, she sounds wicked! Still scares my 32yo daughter! Your comment, "missin a view pieces" when talking about the saw attachment on the wife's tractor, love it! Ya cant fix stupid. Thanks again
For hard soil there are knife shaped tones that do a great job. If I'm tilling around roots, I put those on. I use the spoon shaped ones on my garden, one pass in low gear and it's like powder. Amazing machine if you know how to use it. One of these days I'll restore it and add the reverse option. That would be nice at times.
I love walk behind tractors . Dont have many mayby 5 of them only 1 is running. My health is bad enough i cant hardly get around anymore. But still love them.
My dad also started out his rototilling business back in the forties with a Howard Gem, the best walk behind rototiller in the world. I found one in a barn about 20 years ago and fixed it up and used it for my rototilling business for several years. I think mine was from the 40s or 50s. It had a J.A. Prestwich dry sump engine on it. The best walk behind rototiller in the world. They were selling for around $10,000 when they quit making them in the 80s. They rototill every bit as nice and pretty as a tractor mounted rototiller. It's sad that all the people that do Howard Gem videos on RUclips don't know how to do a professional-looking job with them. They use those fabulous rototillers and try to do a lousy looking job like it was done with $100 piece of junk from the hardware store. 😭
Seen at 20:22 in the video, I inherited a Surgi-Saw from my dad in 2015, I've only found one mention of it online, and it also stated that it was the predecessor to the DR Brush Mower. Very scary machine if you're looking at it from the business end. :)
If you had a limited budget, but wanted something pretty versatile, which make and model would you choose? Best bang for your buck, most versatile, ect... what's your top let's say 3.
I'm gonna you a shout neighbor ,I might be about 400 miles from you, I live down here in south east Indiana, my dad had a David Bradley exactly like what your showing in this video.
i have a david bradley walk behind tractor i got from my uncle who baught it new 1950s still have the origional paperwork and ads brochures and extra set of blades,,,the maginto is the only problem i have
10's of thousands of David Bradley's. I've been look for 25. Years for 1. And I live in Iowa. My grandpa had one. Would love to find 1 worth restoring.
What2heel and rim would be an easy s2ap for the david Bradley kno the bolt pattern is special but don't know what I can just simply unbolt and bolt another one on?
I guess I should have watched the whole video before asking questions. Mine has steering disconnect lever on each side of the handles. I have a mower similar to your baco mower. Mines made by roof manufacturing in Pontiac I'll Thanks Ron in ohio
I have 2. I'm trying to find years on them. One is a simplicity Montgomery ward model L1. And the other is a (ONE TRACK TRACTOR) model L1 can someone tell me the years on the or if the even herd of the one track tractor the both look Identical other than the handles.
Mr Dan, I have a Garden All two wheel tractor with a missing wheel ratchet. Do you have a suggestion as to where to start looking for one? Looks much like the Davis Bradley but with a smaller wheel bolt pattern.
hello and good day. love this stuff. recently went to an old falling down farm and found a simplicity walk behind. havin trouble finding info on it. here is model number of machine. s1 3076r thats all i found. if u have any info to pass along that would be great. theres no motor on it .its been sitting for a long time. thanxs

@@practicalfarmers hey cool video! I just found a David Bradley sickle mower that got pulled by a horse I believe. It's got a little seat in the back. Everything is complete pretty rusty but she moves. Dont have use for it and would hate to let go to waste if it's of value to certain folks.
What is the steel wheeled tractor behind you at the start of your video? I have a 2 wheel tractor that the tag says Sears,Roebuck & company series 38. Has 32 inch diameter steel wheels.where can I find some information? Thanks Ron in ohio
I have a two wheel with a Clinton engine , the engine is yellow ,cane you get bushing and gasket for it. Has concrete in the wheels. Love to come to your place and see all the tractors. Text me an address .thanks Ronald
I have an original David bradly walk behind tractor with 6 pieces of David bradly equipment including the cycle bar mower disk harrow bottom plow and 3 different cultevators it has the continental engine with good compression but the coil checks bad I'm looking to sell if anyone is interested?
U need to get on alibaba n find a diesel engine for ur tractor. This is what they use in Philippines but they have diesel engines n they are very strong. God Bless

Very interesting collection of two-wheel tractors!!
Very nice collection Jeff. I have come along with my own collection and am constantly trying to dedicate time to repair and restore.
My grandpaw...had a 2 wheel Simplicty and a 1 wheel Chore master, I still have the Chore Master..i love this,grest video thanks

Awesome informative video. I recently picked up a speedex walk behind. Trying to determine its age. Thank You for a very motivating video !
I just picked up a david bradley with the continental motor in it my first one
My dad bought me a pedal bike that was made by Western auto . I forgot about that store . that was over 35 years ago . thanks pops I'll see you soon .
spent many hrs behind a db did 80 acres of corn one summer have two complete tractors and three almost complete
I had a unit similar to what you were showing @ 24:00. I was told it was marketed in Canada as a Waterloo.

Man would I like one made for working in the woods, with a seated wagon, a winch, a generator, and maybe some other cool attachments.
I love walk behind tractors . Dont have many mayby 5 of them only 1 is running. My health is bad enough i cant hardly get around anymore. But still love them.

Tilmor builds a walk behind tractor called power ox and big assortment of cultivator tools for it.
Wooooooow 😲so many tractors. I wish to had only one.
Why no Gravelys? Wern't the one of the early 2 wheelers? You have an amazing collection.
yes where is the king of all garden tractors THE GRAVELY THE BEST TWO WHEEL TRACTOR EVER MADE PERIOD......
Gravely received his first patent in 1916. I went to the 100 year anniversary In West Virginia in 2016 with the Gravely club

Man I want one of these so badly
I spotted 3 in lucasville Ohio a few days ago.

Thanks for sharing 👍
Have you ever heard of a PAGE walk behind tractor? Was made in Milwaukee, Wi.
Wow very good
Please I need a combination of tilling and farrowing plough
Thank you for making this video.
PRETTY NICE COLLECTION I HAVE A OLD ON STEEL CALTIVATOR STEEL WHEEL ONE WHEEL FROM MICHIGAN
i have a david bradley walk behind tractor i got from my uncle who baught it new 1950s still have the origional paperwork and ads brochures and extra set of blades,,,the maginto is the only problem i have
Curious how old Gravely compares to BCS and how well Harbor Freight engine repowers last.
Those old flat head engines are a pain any overhead valve engine is better.
10's of thousands of David Bradley's. I've been look for 25. Years for 1. And I live in Iowa. My grandpa had one. Would love to find 1 worth restoring.
We have several very active groups on face book. Some allow sales so didnt. See tractor for sale alot. Good luck.
@@garygrose6351 ok. But I don't do FB.
What2heel and rim would be an easy s2ap for the david Bradley kno the bolt pattern is special but don't know what I can just simply unbolt and bolt another one on?
I guess I should have watched the whole video before asking questions. Mine has steering disconnect lever on each side of the handles. I have a mower similar to your baco mower. Mines made by roof manufacturing in Pontiac I'll
Thanks Ron in ohio
I have 2. I'm trying to find years on them. One is a simplicity Montgomery ward model L1. And the other is a (ONE TRACK TRACTOR) model L1 can someone tell me the years on the or if the even herd of the one track tractor the both look Identical other than the handles.
WHat do you use to replace the clutch?
What about the Boeing's super Richard Maddock what attachments came option for that??
Tires will cost $100+ EACH. Tubes are around $15. Engines will run $100+ depending one breed, and HP.
Where can i find one?
Do u know what this one is? Trying to post a picture?🤔
great video
Bolens super verza-matic Well can you tell me about Them were there a lot of them made??. What attachments can go on one 4 were made for That ?????
Found a Simplicity Model F years ago.
Where are you located? I’m in Knoxville and would be interested in seeing your collection.
Hey Jeff, Just happened by this vid.
Mr Dan, I have a Garden All two wheel tractor with a missing wheel ratchet. Do you have a suggestion as to where to start looking for one? Looks much like the Davis Bradley but with a smaller wheel bolt pattern.
Hi. Could you tell me what kind of tractor I have if I sent you a picture?
What are 2 Stanard Twins worth. They do have some attachments Not sure if either run.

Did SEARS sell these ? 👍
Do you happen to have a black hawk ? Not much on the internet that I can find. Thanks
Great Video! Could a Bradley be used to farm 20 acres?
Yes. But it would take a lot of work, both physically and mentally.
Who was David Bradley?
Here's some info on David Bradley: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bradley_(plowman)
What is the steel wheeled tractor behind you at the start of your video? I have a 2 wheel tractor that the tag says Sears,Roebuck & company series 38. Has 32 inch diameter steel wheels.where can I find some information?
Thanks Ron in ohio
Any suggestion on where I could sell mine?
