New changes included adding steering wheel control and the availability of many accessories for each tractor.. In 1959 the S-Series was introduced with the S-14 and S-23. In 1960 they adapted a front mounted mowing deck which was attached to the front axle. This was the first four wheel riding mower in America. They continued improving their design and adding new tools and implements. In 1966  Foot and Stowe introduced the Kohler engine as an option on the S18 tractor. Their production reached the optimum capacity of 1000 units a year and remained stable until they sold the company. In 1969, General Combustion, who merged with Mechtron International, boosted production to 1500 units a year and developed the "first full floating mower deck" and later developed the Model 832 which was the "first Diesel powered garden tractor" in America. Eagle Tractor owned and produced tractors for a short while introducing the Speedex Falcon and Speedex Eagle.

Unfortunatly Tractor production stopped in the year 2000. Trans Tech still offers parts for many of the Speedex line of garden tractors.
