J.I. Case lawn tractors

J.I. Case’s roots in agricultural machinery extend back to 1842. Seeking a foothold in the lawn and garden tractor segment, the company acquired Colt Manufacturing in 1964. Production of these tractors was centered in Winneconne, Wisconsin. Case continued to produce its lawn and garden equipment at this location until 1983, at which point the company’s Outdoor Power Equipment Division was transferred to Ingersoll Equipment.
