bechrbotmdolr Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hello everyone, I was recently given this photo by a first cousin, once removed. She said my Dad (deceased) modified this for farm use. The picture was taken on or before 1942 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and any identification and modification responses would be appreciated. The manure spreader might be a Case model but I do not expect any identification of that. Thanks in advance for any help. Bechr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry22 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 As a result of being fenderless, the car's headlights were mounted to the cowl for use at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Probably a Model TT Ford truck rear axle hence the wood wheels. Nice and slow speed with lots of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 They also had a kit to convert old cars to tractors. I think they called the conversions Autotrac. My dad made one out of a Whippet and he had put cast iron mower wheels on it. I hear stories of it being so geared down and having such traction with the cleated mower wheels that it tended to rear up if one wasn't careful.
