I've got photos, but you can find them all over the Net. The first Jacques "Mighty Mite" sold for $698 in 1947. Weighed 600 lbs. with an 6 horse engine. Was sold by Jacques Farm Tractor Company, Richmond, IN. Could come with moldboard plow, cultivator, sickle-bar mower, spike harrow, disc harrow, and trailer. Jacques was originally the Jacques Power Saw Company. Jacques had something to do with Frazer Company. The Jacques Mighty Mite came out in 1947. A few years later, Jacques-Frazer sold it as a "Model T" It has a cast-iron two-stroke-cycle engine made by the Swiss company Simar. Engine is also sometimes referred to as the Graham-Paige engine. I forget all the details, but I've got a barn full of them. In 1948, a law-suit evolved between Jacques and Frazer - it was a squabble over the little four-wheel tractor. So, after that - it was named back to "Mighty Mite" in 1949.
