Yard-Man lawn tractors

Yard-Man originated in Jackson, Michigan, in approximately 1933, where it began producing reel-type push lawn mowers. The brand was later acquired by the Montgomery Ward department store, which became a significant retailer for Yard-Man products. In 1975, MTD purchased Yard-Man, leading to the closure of the Jackson manufacturing facility. In 2015, MTD stopped using the Yard-Man name for its tractors.
