Hotrod Tractor


Dougsr

Recommended Posts

I saw a Brockway tractor once.

and I saw a Massey Ferguson one time

and one time I even saw an Oliver.

The Oliver 995 had a GM engine like the 990 but a different transmission. It was marketed as "Lugmatic". I don't know how the transmission differed. Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s there were many tractor brands. Today, what is left, is Deere, AGCO, and FNH (who will soon be bought by Fiat).

How about one with six engines????? (six 5hp Briggs & Stratton engines, that is)

The owner said that the original engine was beyond repair and no replacement could be found. This was his solution.

How about this thing?:

And the original Fiat is now part of AGCO.

Those guys must have had penty of folding money to build those little hotrods. I love to see what people come up with these tractors. It would be fun to let them pull our sled but our insurance will not let us pull the trucks and hotrods. We do have all kind of things on static display when we do have a pull. If you find a good picture that does not have a copy rite on it or one you take send it to me for the photo of the week for my tractor web site. I try to have something new every week. It can be a tractor or just something odd. You never know what may show up. Mail me pictures at dougsr@centurytel.net with Photo Of The Week in the subject line.

'The General' did get a hook - and did pretty well. I didn't get a picture of it in action, but I got this one as it was waiting:

This one cracks me up:

Talk about 'being stacked'!

These pictures are from a local antique machinery show in Sept. of 2008.

This is me and my original 1948 Ferguson a few years ago. No hot rod just a good old unit that plows snow and cuts grass. Paul

:SMOKIE-RT: We have an International H in the corner of our shop the thought of putting a 350 chev or something like that in it has crossed our minds in the past, but the 4 cyl runs too good to take out of her. My brothers friend has an M that he's putting a 454 chevy in. Should be interesting if he ever finishes it.
