Thank you kline!!! This is what I found at http://www.davidbradley.net/ (picture above)its not the one I have but it appears to be about the same. There are some differences between the two but, are basicly the same. The numbers are different too have 143.521091 and the one described below is 785.21300 David Bradley
Play-Trac
785.21300 The Play-Trac was made by the same people that made the Sears Roto-spaders (Magna-America Corp or their predessors). It was styled to look like the Sears/DB Suburban 725 riding tractor that was the top-of-the-line at that time. Colors were 'Nocturne' (dark) blue body, 'Artic' white wheels and grill. It was offered for only two years, 1962 and 1963. In the 1962 Spring and Summer catalog the engine was listed as a 2 HP Briggs and Stratton. In the 1962 Fall and Winter (as well as in 1963) catalog the engine was listed as a 2 1/4 HP Craftsman (Lauson/Techumseh) The speed was governed at approximately 3 MPH. It used a simple foot pedal clutch (brake?) no reverse. There was no throttle control. The seat had four height positions and four positions forward and back. The original cost was about $100. Although it had a rear hitch and could pull a wagon, there were no specially designed implements for this tractor. It was sold as a toy. Presumably if a Briggs version exists it would be the rarest of these rare tractors.
The Play-Trac name plate. Notice the name printed in a script font. It was attached at the rear of the tractor above the hitch.

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
