Wow, what a gem! I assume it’s still mobile?? I admire history of machinery.

That was cool Cindy
What I found interesting was the "Pony Motor starter they made" I would love to know what they use to couple it to the engine, I'm guessing an overrunning clutch like the use for mower one tractors without live power.
I could really get into something like that.

As a kid growing up, I drove a Ferguson, John Deere, Cat, International Harvester TD14... no air-conditioning only an umbrella to block the hot sun. I had to learn how to service them before I could drive them. Fond memories

Cindy, I record each series of "Classic Tractor Fever" because I find the old tractors to be part of the history of our nation. Thanks for the interesting post.
