wayne sheldon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 A model T Ford! 1912 torpedo roadster to be exact, with one of the common "make-a-tractor" kits available in those days. What is interesting, is that the torpedo roadster was one of the very few model T cars that from the factory had a large round gasoline tank mounted outside behind the seat, instead of under the seat or hidden somewhere inside the body. Every time I see this photo, I wonder where the farmer put the gasoline tank and what he might have used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 The steering I can see but what about the shifting, accelerating and brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I have seen a better copy of this photo before. In it one could see a few cables or rods running over the car's seat and stretched back to where the fellow can pull then or turn them to operate the car. The digital matrix in this picture loses that stuff in the busy background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
