A bit about the brand: The Choremaster was invented by Carl Van Ausdall in the xxxxs. His father owned a Chevrolet dealership in Indiana, and Carl was a sales man. In his spare time, he invented a new type of one-wheel tractor in the back shop called the Choremaster. The idea being it can perform a multitude of tasks. However, he ran into financial trouble, and signed a deal to have the units manufacture (under licence in xxxx) by Lodge & Shipley Co. Through this partnership, they introduced several different types and models with various options. By the late xxxx's, a number of Choremaster dealerships opened up as the popularity of the little tractor grew. In the early xxxx's, they introduced a roto-spader called "Merry Tiller", which was sold by Sears & Roebuck. However, because of restocking issues, this arraignment was short lived. Carl sold all manufacturing rights and patents to Richard Wyman in xxxx. However, by xxxx it was completely gone from the marketplace.
