Home Built Garden Tractor
 ✖  |
This tractor was built over a period of more than 20 years. My Dad built the frame and fitted it with narrowed-up axles from a Model T Ford, and then put it away in a shed for over 20 years. Two years ago I decided to finish it. The frame is made of 3-in. channel iron. The transmission comes from a Model A Ford and the seat from a 4020 John Deere. The steering sector was salvaged from an old International pickup and the battery is under the seat. The tractor's powered by a 12-hp. Briggs & Straton enĄgine. I used a V-belt for the final drive so I could put afoot clutch on it. When you push down the pedal it has a brake that contacts the final drive pulley.
We use the tractor for hauling grain auĄgers, small trailers, and anything we need brought into the shop. (Norman Matteson, Rt. 2, Box 46, Inkster, N.Dak. 58244 ph 701-869-2685)
