Bear Cat.
Manufactured by Ellinwood Industries Farm Equipment Division, Los Angeles, California. This tractor is powered by a Briggs and Stratton Model 9. The Bear Cat was the first tractor to be tested by the University of Nebraska following World War II. This small tractor is just one of the many garden tractors on display. Some of these are also taken through the 1:00 parade. Shown here is Matt Johnson getting his tractor ready for the parade.
