Craftsman lawn tractors

Sears initially ventured into the realm of lawn tractors in 1959, launching the David Bradley Suburban line. The David Bradley moniker was phased out by 1964, giving way to the now-familiar Craftsman designation, which had become prominent by the 1970s. Presently, all lawn and garden tractors sold by Sears bear either the Craftsman or Craftsman Professional label. Over the years, various manufacturing companies have been entrusted with building tractors under the Craftsman banner. In 2017, a significant shift occurred as Stanley Black & Decker acquired the Craftsman brand from Sears.
