End of Production

Wayne Fort posted the following on Facebook, March 2026:

From the 1990's through around 2010 Steve Morris of Charlotte, Michigan made an outstanding switcher around a Honda 5HP with hydrostatic drive. He made 100+ of them.
Unfortunately, he stopped producing and having trouble reassembling his supply chain again. Eaton does not directly product, etc.
