The tractors are nice enough being just what they are but I love all the little touches like the wrenches, the boxes, the book, etc. All those little things add an entirely different depth... 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,944 #6 Posted June 9, 2020 I take it you don't work in that shop? Love the Power King and Economy banners. You still have any of those tractors? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldiron613 584 #9 Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys! No, I don't use this garage for a shop; it's just used for storage and display of part of our tractor collection. Yep, we do have a collection of Economy tractors as well. It's really the EPCO (Economy/Power King) tractors that got me into collecting garden tractors being made here locally in Wisconsin with a lot of local history. Over the past few years, my collecting has evolved and most recently into the Pond family of early tractors. I used to store the bigger Economy's in this garage but they are just too big for this little garage in order to walk around, or even to get them out. The smaller Wheel Horses and Speedex tractors I collect fit in here much better. Thanks! I've always had a certain hard to find, some NOS parts stashed away as well as wrenches, etc. It's fun to display them as well until I have a project I need the parts for and in my opinion, they compliment the tractors and help tell a story as well.

ebinmaine 73,002 #10 Posted June 9, 2020 I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only one that wants to see the Power King and Economy tractors... 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if it's aloud then here you go! There's a couple not pictured here, but here's a few. My EPCO collecting focus has always been the early models, pre-1964 and the different brands that they were sold under (Economy, Power King, Power Queen, Country Squire, National, Red E) Edited June 9, 2020 by oldiron613 7 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #12 Posted June 9, 2020 Very nice collection, super jealous. My favorite has always been an RJ with a front sickle bar. Out of curiosity, whats the front bar on the second one in from the first picture? Part of an attachment? Or a front hitch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For storage I just pull the mower off. Edited June 9, 2020 by oldiron613 4 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
