Motorized IH Pedal Tractor
 ✖  |
"A few years ago FARM SHOW reported on how I put together a motorized Deere pedal tractor for my grand kids (Vol. 24, No. No. 6). I thought your readers would like to see what I recently built for someone in Nebraska who wanted a motorized International Harvester pedal tractor," says Frank Miller, Mott, N. Dak.
Miller first completely restored the Farmall M series pedal tractor. Then he cut out part of the front housing to make room for a 3 1/2 hp Honda gas engine. The engine direct-drives a centrifugal clutch which chain-drives the rear axle. "It's geared down by a big sprocket and three separate shafts so there's almost no limit to its power," says Miller. "The pedal tractor originally drove off only the right rear wheel. I welded up the rear axle so that both rear wheels turn together. It'll go up to 4 mph."
The tractor still has its original front and rear wheels, seat, and steering wheel. Miller added a throttle lever which is used to control tractor speed. There wasn't room for the engine muffler so Miller replaced it with a length of pipe that mounts just to the side of the hood.
