History
Ford provided a range of lawn and garden tractors to their farm machinery dealers, although Ford did not build their own lawn equipment. Jacobsen, Gilson, and Toro were all suppliers of Ford lawn tractors. The Ford lawn tractor brand was replaced by New Holland in 1988 when Ford sold their farm machinery group to Fiat

For fun: Check out the Ford Mustang “adjacent” lawn tractor. Ford was serious about selling their lawn and garden tractors during the late ’60s. They even compared one of their models, the LGT 120, to a Mustang. It was referred to as the lawn and garden tractor for “Mustang people with lawns.” Source: CJPonyParts.com
