Tractor Show Pick

[RedMF40]

I'm always interested in lesser know tractors and equipment. It's very interesting to see the thought and engineering that went into them. All without a computer.

This might be the company except the one at the show has a LeRoi engine. Maybe replaced at some point.

So is that a Continental tractor with a LeRoi engine? I think I read that LeRoi supplied engines to other companies before they started making their engine/air compressor hybrids back in the day. Or is this a shop built tractor with a LeRoi engine that they used a Continental radiator on?

Unique steering and wheel drive systems.

I'm not real familiar with tractors of that vintage. Was that a common drive system?

The rear end reminds me of a Staude conversion kit.

View attachment 164376View attachment 164377There’s usually one tractor at a show I’m drawn to more than the others. Here’s the pick from the show in Upperco, Md that runs through Sunday. Good consignment sale at the beginning, practically giving stuff away.View attachment 164378View attachment 164379View attachment 164380View attachment 164381View attachment 164382View attachment 164383

Looks pretty easy to take up the wheel wobble on the front wheels. Just tighten the eye bolt.

That’s a Wisconsin? I wouldn’t know, just going by the LeRoi tag on the engine.

The OS 4 McCormick beside it is fairly rare. I have only seen one.
