We may have found the first 720 Garden Tractor shipped to the LL Farm that Mooney and Loretta had. A company man wanted a mower - ask Len Schriber if anything ws coming off the 'ranch'. The reply was that we may have one that was just found - a 720.
Side bar - there was a change at top management. Harry Lusk was replaced by Jon Johanson at Mke AC. The bean counters came to Jon and told him they were missing about a million dollars of inventory! He went berserk. How can you lose a million in farm equipment? After a few days it dawned on him and he ask how was the equipment sent to Tn at LLDR accounted for ? IT WAS NOT!. Per John it was just shipped down and unloaded. Anyway when the second set was sent down and changed out they were missing Loretta's 720. They wrote it off as stolen. Many years later when someone was burning a brush pile off the farm they discovered a hidden 720 underneath. The tire got burnt off but the unit was saved. The unit went from Port Washington - to Tn. to Utah, to E.Tn and now at a location we think we know. IT will be the highest mileage 720 on record. Second only to the units shipped to California when Loretta was filming a Christmas special and she and Do were supposed to ride up on two mowers - John Deeres - Money stopped the filming and told them where they could put the greenies - they flew in 2 720's - emergency - to get the special filmed... "stupidarse hollywooders" was the quote from Mooney... memories from the past...
