Garden Tractor?

[Bill Baird]

I have a small Garden tractor with Clinton Engine Model 700A, Ser #E 0242047.
My Dad got this tractor about 1948, used. It is only about 8" wide, and runs on catapiller tread that is 3" wide and 28" long. It has a small plow attachment, culivator att. and 20" reel mower att. Does anyone have any idea who made this tractor and what year is was made?

I've got half-a-dozen of them. One track drive, made by Lodge & Shipley and called the Choremaster. Started out as a one-wheel tractor, and later became a one-track tractor.

Here are some bad photos of one of mine taken inside my dark barn. I may be wrong about the Choremaster name, but it is a Lodge & Shipley, I believe. My memory may be bit off and I might have to go in the barn and recheck, sometime.
