Loader Tractor Designed To Look Like Old IH Tractor
I built a loader tractor that's designed to look like an old IH tractor. It's powered by a 4-cyl. Continental gas engine out of an old International pull-type combine and has a 4-speed Chevrolet truck transmission and a Plymouth car rear end and axle that I cut to 4-ft. wide.

Loader Tractor Designed To Look Like Old IH Tractor TRACTORS Loaders 25-2-35 I built a loader tractor that's designed to look like an old IH tractor. It's powered by a 4-cyl. Continental gas engine out of an old International pull-type combine and has a 4-speed Chevrolet truck transmission and a Plymouth car rear end and axle that I cut to 4-ft. wide. I made the front axle from trailer parts that I already had. The tractor rides on 7.50 by 16 rear tires. The front tires, which are smaller, are off an old riding mower.
The power steering system, steering wheel, and live hydraulics are out of an old New Holland self-propelled combine. The hydraulics operate off a pump formerly used with a pickup-mounted snowplow. The seat is off an old International Harvester tractor. There's a pto on back. I had a hand crank on it at one time but replaced it with a starter generator.
I built the tractor several years ago. My son was farming then and he learned how to drive a tractor on it. So did my grandson. I gave it a good paint job last year so now it looks pretty sharp. I built the loader two years ago out of 4-in. tubing and plate steel. (Vernon Hauge, 10684 Whitewillow Rd., Morris, Ill. 60450 ph 815 736-6177)
