First pull of the year. Placed first out of three in the 2500 lb.weight class.

At Rough and Tumble in Kinzers PA.

I know nothing about your tractor but I just read a little bit about it online. It says it's a three speed and the top speed in third gear is 3.5 mph, is that correct?

 

[38 Sears Roebuck]

Yes, not very fast. I pull in second gear and it seems to get the job done. I have been pulling with it for about the last 15 years. I get a lot of questions about the tractor as not many people have ever seen one.

 

[johnofnewhaven]

How many do you think are still in existence?

 

[ss55]

OK, I'll bite. What tractor is it?

 

[38 Sears Roebuck]

From what I have been told is that this is 1 of 100 still known to exist. There were around 500 produced between 1938 & 1939. Antique Power magazine did a very in depth article on them a few years ago.

[J Hamilton]

Very nice. I talked to a guy at a show a couple years ago who has around a half dozen or more of them. And yes I did see them too

 

[KL in Wi]

A guy not too far from me has about 6 of them

Hey John of New Haven, Isn't there a guy from Wisconsin that comes to the Auburn, IN show every year with a whole trailer load of Sears tractors? He backs the trailer in the building but never unloads the tractors. He goes all over the country to buy one if he hears of one for sale. He passes out free CDs that tell of his travels in search of Sears tractors. Pete

 

[J Hamilton]

That's the guy was thinking of, nice guy too. He gave me a cd of his travels.

 

[johnofnewhaven]

Yes Pete you are correct. I remember him now.
