george.kurtz 4 #1 Posted April 6, 2015 Hello all, I just joined this forum, and please excuse my ignorance towards tractors and such. I am writing today, with a long shot of a query. I have the remnants of and old tractor on my 80+ acre property, and was hoping that someone here could give me a general idea of what this is. The only clear markings I can find on anything that is left, is on the rear axle, which is marked Timken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wristpin 400 #2 Posted April 7, 2015 Timken is the easy bit - a U.S. manufacturer of quality ball, roller and needle bearings. The rest I'll leave to the experts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #3 Posted April 7, 2015 That looks like something from the early1900's. Maybe even home made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #4 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi George, welcome to MOM.. I agree with Norm (Stormin) that it could well be home made... The rear axle looks to be on upside down judging by the drain plug on the top of the diff casing, that to me says homemade.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 548 #5 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) makes me think of old auto tractor conversion kits like the pullford ones Taco conversion kit it kinda looks like this model T ford with pullford conversion kit then again it kinda looks like a shaw conversion too Edited April 7, 2015 by C-101plowerpower 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #6 Posted April 7, 2015 Hi George, welcome to MOM.. I agree with Norm (Stormin) that it could well be home made... The rear axle looks to be on upside down judging by the drain plug on the top of the diff casing, that to me says homemade.. It's certainly adapted by upturning the Diff to turn the geared wheels in the correct direction. Also provides High clearance for Crop work. Reckon Koen (C-101plowerpower) has the best idea/example of what it used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #7 Posted April 7, 2015 Front wheels look like the Ford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.kurtz 4 #8 Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks all for the input! It has been out there for who knows how long. I used to play on it when I was a kid. The front wheels are much taller than the rear, almost like steel buggy wheels. My friend will be pulling it out to use as a lawn ornament, and C-101plowerpower's awesome expertise, will now give me some guidance as to what perhaps the front looked like! Thanks all again for your vast knowledge. I'm sure once I travel through more of my property, I will find some other mystery I will need help with.
