This was the first Oliver garden tractor I have seen.
I understand they had a another company make them and they had a couple of different models. Rick B may know more as he spoke with the owner.

I believe Jacobson made them for both Oliver and Ford. I remember seeing them in the Buick/Oliver dealership's store room display. Pretty neat little tractors.
 
From talking with the owner, I'm sorry we didn't exchange names, these were produced by Jacobson only in 1972. From what I found, White(parent company) put all the different brands it owned together under the White name in 73. He estimated only around 300-500 made.

Models#75, 105, two different 125(manual vs. powered lift), and 145(powered lift. I don't remember if he said it was electric lift or not. Bigger ones all with Kohlers. This 105 had a K241, first numbers are the HP. I have seen a model 75 several years ago. That was the only one until now. He also explained that Jacobson also made MM 62-69, and Ford from the 70's-80's.
