The Alien

update, September 2006: Photo added, but sadly machine has been sold. It went very cheaply and I regret selling it.

The Alien is a 1946 David Bradley two-wheeled tractor with the sickle-bar mowing attachment. It is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 1.5 horsepower Model 5 s single-cylinder four-stroke engine. It has ONE forward speed (slow) and NO REVERSE.

This tractor is capable of driving a dizzying list of attachments including plows, a snowblower, a rake, and many other things. It was designed to be a "homeowner" tractor or a "garden" tractor and was inexpensive enough for the average person to purchase it.

This was a rusty pile of parts when I got it, for FREE. It hadn't run in decades. I have a picture of one that looks much better than mine did that I will post for reference.

Cheers!

Sam
