have one that showed up here.  the only identifier i can see is Jacobsen mfg co and a serial #.  probably from the 60's or 70's It has dual rear wheels, hardly any ground clearance,  looks like a yard tractor but is super beefy and has a 4cyl ford and pto.  tows a 3 gang of cylinder mowers.  turf style.  Any one know about these?  If i could fit a snow plow or tiller I'd consider keeping it.

Jacobsen Manufacturing Company in Racine, Wisconsin and they also had another plant here in Brookhaven, Ms.  They also re-badged many tractors for other companies such as Ford and Craftsman.

They are still building professional turf care equipment. They were also known for high quality consumer lawn and garden equipment but that division disappeared when Textron sold the company around 1990.

  My dad had a Jacobsen garden tractor about 50 yrs ago, pretty good little tractor. The only ones I've seen in a long time were commercial mowing machines.

One of my first tractors was a  Jacobsen garden tractor. It was a good tractor for it's time.
