Craftsman Professional lawn tractors

Sears first ventured into the realm of lawn tractors in 1959, introducing the David Bradley Suburban line. The David Bradley moniker was phased out by 1964, giving way to the now-iconic Craftsman branding, which fully dominated Sears' lawn and garden tractor offerings by the 1970s. Today, all lawn and garden tractors sold under the Sears umbrella bear either the Craftsman or Craftsman Professional designation. Throughout its history, production of these tractors has been entrusted to various manufacturers, with AYP and MTD being the primary contributors in more recent times.
