Four Wheel Drive Garden Tractor
I built this "Versatile" 4-wheel drive garden tractor out of an old Plant junior cultivator-type garden tractor that was well over 25 years old but in remarkably good condition. The engine is a 2 1/2 hp. Briggs and Stratton with a 6.1 reduction and a 3-speed transmission. The back of the tractor has the same gear ratio as the front, driven by two angle drives. The steering mechanism is controlled from a car steering box.
We use the tractor for cutting grass, cultivating, and plowing. Its pulling power is unbelievable. I'm developing a 3-pt. hitch, a front-mount mower and a blade. I've proudly named it "Versatile" because it's Manitoba-made.
