Curious how many different dealer tags folks have out there, on their early machines? I've only had two, and one was on a blower I sold. This is the other. Just thought it would be neat to see pics of the tags you have, and maybe even how far from their original dealer location.
Bought new in Holly, MI...9.5 miles from where I picked it up 46 years later. It's now 118 miles from there, but looking much newer.  |

Hartford City is about the same distance from me as Montpelier. They are only 6-8 miles apart as the crow flies. Portland is a little farther, maybe 45 minutes |

The owner moved here and eventually traded the tractor to a small engine mechanic for a newer lawn mower. One year later I got the tractor with a 48" deck, Moldboard plow, disc, a grader blade frame, and some odd parts. Gee I wish that dealer tag was there.
Richard I guess that Chevy Vega was so ubiquitous no one ever thought that someday someone would be interested in tracing its history. |

Montpelier is only 15-20 miles from my house. My wife has a customer from there who once told me that Montpelier is the home of the FBI...

Here's the one off my Yeoman. This came to me out of Ft Wayne, IN, so not too far from it's original home.

This one is on both sides of the hood near the front of a 727 Broadmoor I have. Now here it is in west central Illinois, wonder how it got here?

Here's a few ship labels that are still on my Brush and Log Saw, from Simplicity to the Dealer on the East Coast...
Buck saw assembly box label
Ship label on the 20" blade
Tag still on the log cradle assembly. I'm guessing this was shipped without a box
And here's the same dealer info stamped in ink on the Wonderboy 36" dozer kit I just shipped off to WI.
I purchased these from the dealer's son ('Larry's' of Neshanic, NJ). |
