In the early 40's Harold Pond began manufactiring the Speedex Garden Tractor in Ravenna OH, along with his brother Elmer Pond. In the mid 40's Elmer chose to move to South Bend IN and begin manufactering his own design, along with his son Cecil Pond. In 1955 the first Pond/Wheel Horse Ride-a-way Jr. (RJ) tractor was born. In 1958 it became a Multi Million Dollar operation.
Below are pictures of my collection. I continue to add models as they become avalible to me.
