Jacobsen Garden Tractor Gets Around At Farm Shows
 ✖  |
We spotted Bob Coffeen of Fond du Lac, Wis., at last year's Wisconsin Farm Progress Show. He was riding along - in the shade of an umbrella - on his 1962 Jacobsen Chief garden tractor. "I take it to a lot of antique shows. It saves a lot of walking," he says.
Coffeen welded a short length of exhaust tube to the back of the seat to serve as the umbrella holder. He also bolted a length of PVC tubing onto the side of the tractor to hold his walking cane. To improve the ride and also to get a better view of things, he raised the seat 6 in.
