Eriks Red horse herd 43 #14 Posted July 24, 2010 What you have there is a ROTH Garden king . Made in Alma Michigan. Around 1948. Engine is in the wrong height should be direct contact with shaft of gear box. Also the engine should be a Wisconsin AEH 6 h.p. These little beautys could be changed into riders by removing the handle bars and attaching a seat , steering wheel and trailing tricycle wheel. They were sold as a walk behind and with a conversion kit for rider or from the factory as a rider then they were called the Roth BesRO riding tractor with steeromatic draft control.
