These pages are dedicated to those individuals who own, collect, or restore old Sears garden tractors. Most of the information available here is for Sears tractors made in the '60's and '70's. These tractors were built very rugged and many have lasted over 30 years. Sears can't provide parts for the tractors any more, so it is necessary for those of us who own these tractors to network together for support.
I am just an enthusiast who enjoys these old tractors. I created this page with the intention of providing as much information as possible to others who like Sears tractors. I enjoy talking to others who share similar interests. Check out the Links page to find other pages related to this topic. If anyone knows of a site not listed here that may be beneficial, send me an E-mail with the information and I will consider posting a link. Please use the message board to post relevant information, so all can benefit.
You may notice that these pages appear elementry in design. This site is the result of my first effort at constructing a web site. It reflects my desire to have a simple, easy loading site, free of frames, animation and background music. My intent is to inform and assist those interested in Sears Tractors, not to win awards and impress anyone with my HTML knowledge (none). Plus, I seem to be the only one in this world still using a dial-up modem, so I appreciate fast loading pages.
I use free services to provide my webhosting. Geocities, Photopoint, Homestead are all great places. The power of the internet never ceases to amaze me. Where else could a group of individuals be able to communicate in real time concerning their hobbies or interests. Obscure information not available anywhere else is now brought to all of us in the comforts of our homes via search engines.
3/1/07 Wow, a lot has changed since I wrote all that stuff over seven years ago. My personal life got in the way of the site for a long time, and when I looked closely I saw I'd have to reformat some stuff. I do have a DSLmodem now, plus a lot of the free 'net services have gone away, replaced by commercial ventures. Anyway, I've reformatted the pages for higher resoloutions and fixed many broken links, but the original intent of the site remains. You'll see many of the images I've scanned over the years posted on other sites. It used to anger me that my hard work was pilfered, but then I realized it was all for good in the end because more people will have access to the information. Plus, all I was doing was making copies of the hard work that Sears produced years and years ago. So I was just as guilty as the next guy. I've upped the font size on most of the pages because of the higher resolutions. I know that many of the readers here have aging eyes that have a hard time reading the small type. The pictures are smaller too at the higher res, but I don't have access to them anymore. Oh well. I hope you enjoy, and please send me any comments that you have. |
