FMC Garden Tractor

[David Goesch]

I have this garden tractor and would like to learn more about it. The only ID on it that I can see says
FMC Corp. Wisc. USA type 181 01 seral 20941 and looks like maybe it was built in the 1950's. Anything someone could teach me about this little tractor would be a big help so that I can restore it.

Food Machinery Co. (FMC) was the parent company of Link-Belt and "Bolens" garden tractors.
I was a Bolens mechanic back in 60s - at a Deere dealership that also sold Stihl and Homelite saws and Bolens tractors.
Your tractor is a model 600 Husky with a B&S engine - made around 1961.

Is FMC still around? I bought a new FMC rotary cutter about 25 years ago, and its a great machine- haven't needed any parts yet, but would be nice to know where to find some if I ever do.
