MTD trademarked the Turflite name.
TURFLITE - Reviews & Brand Information - MTD PRODUCTS INC. CLEVELAND, OH - Serial Number: 73362990
Name looks to be used only during the 1980's by MTD.
Edit: Also looks like Huffy used the name back in the 1950's.

TURFLITE Huffy Corporation Miamisburg OH 45342
LAWNMOWERS
Diversification
Huffman added a lawnmower division in 1949 to help
offset the effects of the post World War II recession. The
division was sold in the late 1970s. During the 1980s and
1990s, the company acquired and sold manufacturers of car
seats, strollers and garden tools.
The second development occurred as a result of the company's
search for a product that could be manufactured during the
winter months. The decision to produce lawnmowers was
announced in December 1949.
As a result, the company quickly outgrew its physical
plants, and in the early 1950s Huffman acquired a building
in Delphos, Ohio, and moved the Automotive Service Equipment
division to that location. New facilities were built in
Celina, Ohio, to house the bicycle and lawnmower divisions.
The Dayton manufacturing plant on Gilbert Avenue was closed
and the general offices were moved to Davis Avenue.
