I believe the exhaust is the silver pipe aimed downward behind the LH headlight. It does run. |

There?s a black and white picture in one of my
books of a lady operating it in a field. Can?t

John, you have the wrong family as owners of this tractor. |

Doug, John is talking about the lady on the tractor in the black and white picture that Dennis P mentioned, but that is a different experimental tractor than the one pictured in this post. This tractor belongs to the Casteal family. (not sure I spelled that name right).
