8ntruck 7,595 #5 Posted May 21 (edited) The Jeep Gladiator pick up in the zero turn segment is an AMC ad built into the Wheel Horse ad. Makes sense, 'cause AMC owned Wheel Horse at that time. Edit: Got to make a correction here. The commercial being produced in the 80's probably make the Jeep pick up a J10 rather than a Gladiator. I'm thinking that the Gladiator name for the pick up went away around 1970. Edited May 21 by 8ntruck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wh500special 2,256 #9 Posted May 23 Anybody else notice the lever steer tractor at the 2 minute mark looks a lot like a Gibson 😊 Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,256 #10 Posted May 23 Also, at the 28 minute mark you’ll see the vertical shaft Briggs on the unmentioned model 5018 morph into a Kohler M18 horizontal shaft. I’ve never seen the 5018 in person. Have long wondered if they actually made it. The model in most of the zero turn footage looks like the former but is labeled the latter. I think these were the videos that played on a loop on the tv on the counter at the dealerships. Fun stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
