Gannon Earthcavators
I am seeking owners of the early Gannon Earthcavators made during the 60's. While the basic Earthcavator is the same, the mounting arms and brackets differ from tractor brand to tractor brand. I am trying to build a Model index.
Below is a sample of the early Gannon Earthcavator ID tag. Later versions will have a street address on them. I already have an index listing for those later models. The following Models are known: FD xx-01 Bolens FD xx-02 Cat 0 3-pt (regardless of brand) FD xx-6 International (Cub Cadet) - as shown in the photo FD xx-9 Sears/Wards/Roper FD xx-10 Bolens FD= Factory code for the Earthcavator xx= width size 32",. 36" & 42" known sizes made in the 60's era. Looking for: Case/Colt Wheelhorse John Deere Massey Ferguson Allis-Chalmers Simplicity Jacobson/Ford Any help will be appreciated. Myron B CCSupplyRoom

MBounds,
I really like the looks of the three point on the back of your 122, is it aftermarket, "factory" from a different brand or something that you fabricated yourself? Would you mind posting more pictures of it?

YosemiteSam: That lift is a Sears/Wards 3-point lift utilizing implemements from Sears (in this case) or Montgomery Wards. At the time (the mid 60's) the most widely sold Garden Tractor was the IH Cub Cadet. Sears/Wards wanted some of that market, so they sold lift kits for the Cub Cadets which is what you see... Now, I did re-engineer the lift handle to accomodate the optional Square Fenders on this 122, so that 90* bend isn't the original shape - otherwise it is a stock Sears lift for the Sears model of the Gannon Earchcavator. I also have a Sears Turning plow and a Sears Harrow which use the same lift...
Watch the Sears Forum closely for them or get me an email to: cubcadet@windstream.net and I'll send you some close-up shots of that lift. Another thought...how many of these have been walked by and ignored in all those boneyards across the country because no one knew what they were looking at.... "oh that's just some Sears junk"...etc., etc. Myron B

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
