Arctic Enterprises lawn tractors

In 1971, Arctic Enterprises, renowned for its Arctic Cat snowmobiles, broadened its portfolio through the acquisition of General Leisure Products, previously known as General Appliance, situated in Omaha, Nebraska. This company had a history of crafting lawn mowers under various banners – Lawn Lion, Bonanza, Mow-Rite, Vacumaire, and Torque-o-matic among them. Capitalizing on its existing network, Arctic Enterprises branded these mowers with the 'Arctic' name and distributed them via its established Arctic Cat dealership channels. Unfortunately, this endeavor did not yield the anticipated results, and the production of lawn mowers ceased in 1974.
