  • Taryl & Co are hitting a local tractor show in Crown Point, IN and Junior needs to get his tractor up and running for the show. What better person to volunteer to get it running than Taryl?! Of course Junior would rather race RC cars than work on his own equipment, so check out what all Taryl did to get this little Swisher Ride King up and running for the show. Now Junior will be the king of the show! Be sure to come out and check the show out, Taryl and Co will only be there Saturday July 8th 2022. They'll be bouncing around the show and mingling with the show's spectators, so come on out and bring the fam!

    Taryl,the Swisher mowers were made in my hometown in Warrensburg Missouri. My dad worked there in the 70's and we had 3 of them. Max Swisher was the man behind the machine. I had the oldest one with the solid tires. Talk about throwback I'm 54 now.

    A fellow in town here has a.......FORTY INCH DECK Swisher. The only time I've seen one.
    I've had two Swishers over the years. First one was a crank type Tecumseh or Briggs. The second one, bought new in '92, conventional pull start Briggs. Both were 32". Neither had a foot pedal for drive engagement, used a lever on the steering column. Speed changes were accomplished by twisting a double knobbed shaft.
    Good for mowing a VERY level lawn otherwise it was scalp city!
