Can anyone Identify either of these 2 garden tractors. One has wooden wheels. Sorry about picture. Only one I have. Thanks Doug

It's kinda hard to separate the "tractors" from all the other er, um, "quality used parts", but I would say that they are both someone's attempt to build their own, especially the one with the wooden spoke wheels. The other one looks as though some one intended to build a rear engine unit, but the frame rails look a bit strange. Just my SWAG.
 
The tractor with the metal wheels on the left looks like a Grand Haven. I am thinking it has a big loop for the steering, like in the picture. If it is a Grand Haven, I think it will have a Clark gearbox like is on the 'G' Allis chalmers but without the axles. At least the example I saw once had that transmission.

I am thinking the 2 wheeler with wooden wheels on the right is homebuilt. There are plans for a 2 wheeler using model T parts on the internet. I think they are at Vintage Plans.com.
 
I think that TRK has nailed the steel-wheeled tractor. You can see the hooped steering bar in the upper left side of the photo and if you compare what you see in that photo to photos of a known Grand Haven, there is a lot of similarity. Just Google Grand Haven tractor photos.

GH's are quite collectible and that one certainly looks worthy of being saved.

The other one should be investigated further to see if there are any decals or tags that would identify the maker. So many of the early tractors used car parts that it is often difficult to separate the manufactured tractors from the backyard built tractors. Nonetheless, those wood spoked wheels offer originality if you decide to restore it.

Both tractors will be a "project" that will take some time and effort but I think that the end results will more than justify both.
 
Thanks for looking, pretty sure the one is a grand haven. The other one with wood wheels still looks like factory built with all the sheet metal and brackets, sprockets. Just overall appearance looks to good to be home built. Thanks Again Doug
