Here's one that I put together over 20 years ago. Has the 60HP flathead with stainless steel water jackets in it to keep the hood and tractor the same length as original, also has the high and low range transmission in it.

How do SS jackets keep the hood and WB the same? I thought all you had to do was raise the cowel and tank. What is top speed with the Sherman? |

Now this is a tractor, even though I'm not sure when the term tractor came about. Most steam powered were just called steam engines because they were used for stationary power as much as for pulling |

The only way to get info from the archives is to purchase a serial number research through the Two-Cylinder Club, not from one particular individual. They are extremely backed up at the moment and it can take several months to get this information. The M and MC are on display at the Dubuque factory. |
Re: Tractor thread?
anyone recognize this make and model?

https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing...-tractors/1109 Always have to remind myself that the Sound-Gard tractors are 50 years old already, lots of them still in use. Same with the New Generation tractors that replaced the two cylinders are getting into their 60's now. When the Two-Cylinder club was formed in the 80s the last of the two cylinder tractors were only about 25 years old and the first 1929 model 'D's were only a few years older than this 4430 is today. To me the tractors always seemed to look newer or more modern/advanced than the trucks of the same era when placed side by side. |
Re: Tractor thread?

Re: Tractor thread?
thank y'all for your help, much appreciated!
I'm hoping the serial plate will still be there and have something useful left on it interesting how many pictures of so many massey harris models but that one LoL I'm sure they'll be needing just about everything for it so hopefully a model with some parts availability either way they're resourceful, same owner built a hawk-amino, stude hawk front end on an el camino thanks again! |

Anyone here familiar with Keystone Tractor & Truck Museum in Colonial Heights, VA? I had a slew of pictures from a when my friend and I went a few years ago in February. Lost when my last computer died. These are some pictures I grabbed off the internet. The best part about going in Feb was I got the grand personal tour with the curator who knew everything about everything there. My friend is too hyper for that and he blaster off after constantly interrupting the guy giving us this great information. Seeya! We both were glad as he buzzed off. This was not the time to be impressing someone with what you know. I was all ears......................AND EYES!!

John Deere world headquarters about 6-7 years ago. Mostly just had new stuff on display.

Re: Tractor thread?
That's cool to see. I used to have two early 110s. The fenders were steel. I ran them many years. I still have the accessory book I got at the dealership. Mine had 8hp Kohlers. I had a JD 80 dump cart, too. I decided the early Cub Cadets were a better tractor and sold all my JD stuff to a collector. I bought the first one at a local JD dealership who holds a sale each spring to sell off all the year's trade-in. There were so many early tractor company lawn tractors it drove me crazy, Case, Massey Ferguson, etc. And a mess of quality ones like Wheel Horse, Simplicity, Gravely. Then there were so unique ones I never saw before, different designs like one that was a reel mover. The second 110 was set out for sale on Main St in my town. I forget why he was selling it but he had just had the transmission rebuilt at the dealership and he wanted $200. That's the one I mowed most with

I remember hearing that and for some reason I thought that it was listed on the sign. Obviously I didn't read it before I posted it. On my 61 Apache 10 that was my grandpa's there is a bullet hole from the inside out but it just left a "nipple" and didn't go through the outside door skin. After visiting Graceland I thought about leaving it after hearing the story. |

Re: Tractor thread?
Those of you that like to travel/RV/boondock etc, the keystone tractor museum in Petersburg has overnight parking and I believe they also have hookups. There is also a little cafe that is supposed to have some pretty decent food.

I worked this weekend on a friend's '72 John Deere 2520 Row Crop w/loader. It needs a hydraulic pump. I was doing some carpentry work for him and he was moving a TGI beam suspended from the bucket. Sitting there idling I thought it was rattling a good bit. This guy isn't much on maintenance so I wasn't surprised. Then "TINK" and I notice something drop under the tractor. It was the coupler to the pump had broken. time for some maintenance-free repairs :lol:. It turns out the pump had been leaking, which he knew about. So, this weekend I dismantled it down to the pump. The parts should be here by Wed. I'll upload the pictures of the tractor and edit them in

Here’s a real clean IH that sold at a local auction yesterday for $7500. Several others sold but I was at the other ring. Did see this JD lawn tractor and this old Kubota.
