[Anonymous-0]

Does anyone know the difference between the jumbo made in las angles and the custom tractor made in indiana they look very similar and I not sure which one I have, I see people calling identical ones the different names...Any help, histoy, etc...greatly appreciated.

It appears that once the paint wears off on many of these there's no way to tell...punch Custom, Lehr Big Boy, Wards (not the row crop), Jumbo, Simpsons Jumbo, Love, Friday, Norseman, Rockol, Regal, OMC (Amos Ostergard's OMC) Closson, Wilson (Oh, forget Closson and Wilson) into the archives here and you'll be reading for a couple weeks...then you can go on to gas engine magazines archives, and if you're still sane you can go back into the original CO-OP and Farmers Union CO-OP, where it all started.
(While gas engine magazines archives aren't nearly as deep and broad as here, start there if you'd like the short form).With sympathy...
