Cecil Pond - Popularized Riding Lawn Mowers
Cecil Pond will be known for introducing the riding lawn mower to the American family. He founded Pond Tractor Co, later named Wheel Horse Products, which built two-wheeled tractors that the operator could walk behind.
After World War II, his company developed a riding lawn-mower. With the growth of suburbs, sales increased every year. The company made a total of 22 attachments, including those for snow plowing, and plows for backyard gardens.
Mr Pond, 87, died on December 30, 2011 at a hospital in his hometown of South Bend, Indiana.
In 1975, Pond's company had over 500 employees when he sold it to American Motors Company. AMC later sold it to Toro.
