Garden Tractor Built From Old Car and Machine Parts
Roger Nelson of Atlantic and his brother in law Delmar South of Cumberland built a garden tractor from parts of a 1941 Willys front end, 1950 Ford rear end, 1989 Rep cul t wheel, and a 1930 Chevrolet transmission. They powered it with a Wisconsin V4 engine, spent about $25, and reduced the Ford rear end from 55 to 33 inches. It runs at five mph after gearing down from an initial 35 mph. The red tractor, 38 inches wide by five feet long, has plow uses and a cultivator attachment, with plans for a mower and more attachments.
