Roper & Sears Jackpot!

After knowing about the Ropers for over a year, I finally made the trip to bring them home and it was a bonus finding the Roper trailer!

I Love those old 🚜 tractors. I wish I could come across one!!!!

[@RichardGoodman]

I was the person out of the Bradley factory. I worked in the Test Dept. All of these tractors stood the test of time and are still great tractors.Sincerely, Richard Goodman

It’s great to find people such as yourself to gather information from. Every time I go down to Illinois to pick up another batch of tractors, I usually try to meet up with a former employee and learn as much as I can about Sears/Roper as a company and the processes

@@71_sears97 I stayed with Roper (AYP) until 1994. I designed the test base in Savannah, GA and ran it for about 3 years. Then designed the new test base in Orangeburg, SC and ran it until 1994. Anything I can help with , let me know. Richard Goodman

I got one of them running already and the Sears Hydro-Trac went to my friend 20 minutes from me. It will be at Portage for sure!
