Does anyone know who the original manufacturer might have been for this old Craftsman tractor?

I'm gonna try some pics again. I don't know why these were so difficult to get into and out of my 'puter

. Never mind, I can't seem to get these pics to work at all, even in my own computer. It's gotta be a software issue on my end.

This was a totally different tractor from the David Bradley trike, probably about 3 feet long, and resembled a clown's little trike it was so small with foot pegs right above the single front wheel.

I found out it is a 1954 +/- Hiller Yardman tractor with a 1.7 HP 2 cycle motor and brakes were optional

Does it look something like this? If this picture doesn't come through I'm going to think that this thread is jinxed.

Yep that's the critter! You guys still can't see any of the pics I posted? On reply #10, I have 3 pics of the same tractor model as Miss Snowshoveler posted but in a creamy white color with some surface rust?
