Cushman Motor Works

Cushman sold gas engines by the thousands, particularly their 4-horsepower binder engine. Their efforts in the tractor business were rather feeble in the United States. In Canada, it was a different story. The Macdonald tractor was aggressively promoted by Cushman about 1918.

In 1989, the Cushman Scooter Company was purchased by Ransomes.
