No, it's not orange, just unusual. It's a Chain Tred Tractor Co. from Portland OR. From the motor serial # it's between 1949 and 1955, 1 speed forward with a drawbar and PTO in back and tool attachment in front. Bought it as a "ran when parked" and a squirt of gas in the carb and it came to life. If anyone has info or literature on one of these I would be interested in it.   ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

The AK series Wisconsin is a tough one to wear out. I have a few of them in my collection. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

That thing can't have been used much, either that or it was repainted.
I'd love to find something like that for working in the garden. ------------- Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for much of anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. |

| It's an old timer, judging from the starter pulley, and it has not been used very much. |

There is one just like it sitting in an outside display of some old market garden equipment at our agricultural hall on Gabriola Island, British Columbia. ------------- Jack of all trades, master of none |

I had it out in the yard today checking it out and it travels 48 feet per minute which comes out to just over 1/2 mile per hour, a little too slow to ride around the shows like we do with the David Bradley. The little beast weighs 510 pounds so definitly keep your toes clear. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |
