Let's see some unique tractor pictures

[MowHoward2210]

Rare, modified, antique, unclassifiable -- post 'em if you got 'em!

Here's a couple to start with:

The first one is an experimental IH from the early 60's.

The second pic is carved entirely from wood. Even the tires , if I remember right.

[farmallmaniac]

is that second one full sized?!?!

[MowHoward2210]

I'm pretty sure it was full scale. If it wasn't, then it looks pretty close to full scale.

[jodyand]

OK here is some i really like.

Jody I was actually thinking of that tractor when I saw this thread

[MowHoward2210]

Jody are those battery cells in that AC?

[jodyand]

If i remember it is hydrogen powerd i think. It was a experimental that never got any farther.

Here is a cool 9N.

An AC WD45 Duel Fuel (gasoline and Propane)

[MowHoward2210]

Here's one straight from the factory: A Minneapolis Moline UDLX Comfortractor. Work the fields on Saturday and take the family to church in it Sunday.

[Argee]

Didn't some of the manufacturers make an all fuel tractor...gasoline, kerosene, diesel???

[MowHoward2210]

I'm not sure, Argee. Sounds possible, though.

Here's another LP powered one:

[Archdean]

Not any more to my knowledge since the military stopped robbing Peter to pay Paul in the 60's when it had Gasoline and Diesel./ Jp4 fueled equipment !!

Gasoline in a modern diesel is akin to instant destruction!!

[MowHoward2210]

"Gasoline in a modern diesel is akin to instant destruction!!

Good point Dean.

[jodyand]

Yea gas fumes will kill a running Diesel in a matter of seconds. Lets not forget the biggest baddest tractor of them all BIG BUD.

[Argee]

What is Jp4 fueled equipment??

[Archdean]

If your asking me which I'm assuming that your are, It was /still is the Military Equivalent to Jet A Aviation fuel/ JP5/ and other Designations (All similar to kerosene / diesel used in various jet and turbo configurations!!

[bear]

argee. a lot of the old tractors started on gas and were then switched to kerosene or distallite once they were warmed up. they had a small tank tank for gas and a larger tank for the fuel some had a tank for water to run into the intake to stop pinging when using distallite and others pulled water from the cooling system

[Mickey]

Years ago IH made a model that started on gas then you switched over to diesel. Not sure how it worked but I'm led to believe the diesel operation was a true diesel not a gas engine running on alt fuel.

[bontai Joe]

Not a true antique, but one you don't often see, a Deere 900 HiCrop with cultivators.

Does anybody remember on the old site that someone posted a pic of an old tractor that one of it's cylinders was used as an air compressor and it even had a tank on the tractor. I believe they said it would hold 60 psi with a one inch open line. Anybody else remember that or know about that tractor, or am i just having "one of those moments".

[bontai Joe]

I remember the tractor you are talking about, just not who made it. It provided a remote source of compressed air for whatever was needed. Hopefully someone here has it in their 'puter, I seem to remember it was one of our northern Canadian friends.

[bontai Joe]

This is a B.F. Avery I had asked about in the past.

[Mickey]

Here are a few pics from my collection from the great Oregon Steamup.

The Rumley is a 2 cyl engine with >1800 cu in displacement. Owner walks the flywheel to start. Rumley's are going to be the featured brand at this yrs event.

The Holt was the forerunner of Cat.

I love the old tractor pulls at the event.

I think it was caseman that had it.

[Durwood]

Thanks Jody. Hopefully he will read this thread and put up a picture of it.
