Section10 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 What was this before it became a tractor? I found this out in the countryside in the western end of the Michigan upper peninsula. I have owned two other ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have one in similar shape motor is still stuck has a model A rear end and a double transmission its just the frame and cowl and a seat A guy told me it 1914. I have a home made or kit made tractor , this I think is a 1928 it is when the changed to the Easter Electrical starter and generator This look like a row crop tractor. hop[e to get into them this coming summer. There was a lot of that done back the day as when the Wars were on you couldn’t buy a tractor , so they would make something out of what the had or could find. if you go to the Chrysler section youll see a thread for a 1930 Chrysler truck , this was a sedan that was cut and put back together and has a home made dump box on the back. I even got some gas ration papers with it . Im in the very bottom of Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bamford Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Here is the 1912 KisselKar tractor conversion I purchased in 1993. Note the tractor wheels rear, Buick rims front (all KisselKar hubs etc, fortunately) and second transmission. The rear springs and brake hardware had been discarded and the rear end moved up to mate with the second transmission output shaft then bolted hard to the frame. The brothers I bought it from had purchased this relic at a farm auction around WW2 for the princely sum of $35. 50-HP four, 373in3, four speed factory overdrive.

J.H.Boland Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The Autotrac was a car-tractor conversion kit produced from 1936 to WW2 by OTACO (Orillia Tudhope Anderson Company) in Orillia,Ontario. The kit included a subframe and big rear wheels that attached to a shortened car frame.There are quite a few surviving examples 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
