Baird Mfg in Connecticut (Stratford,I believe)
built the Beaver late 40's and 50's . I'm not
sure when they stopped. I have a tractor but no
manuals.In 1982 I spoke with a fellow in Stratford
who was a Beaver dealer years before. He was retired and had closed his business...but had a
couple of reversing discs left. Bought one..
should have bought them all!The gentleman was very familiar with Beavers,said Mr. Baird could not find a heavy duty enough garden tractor for
his needs ...so designed and built them. Dual
rear wheel units were very popular.Tiller steering
with out engine cover were later followed by
steering wheel and tractor-style hood. I am thinking
about re-restoring mine also.I have some photos
of tractor in 82 somewhat restored, will gladly
send them to you. Will post any additional info
as I get more involved this summer. Not much info... But there is hope!!
