what year is that little tractor? it's cool. i have a flex-tractor ride on s/n 9301... wondering if it's a 1930 model year?

[blixtkrig]

[kkrankie]

Obviously, before "operator presence controls"..! Nice piece of history- dont do anything to it, just run her once and awhile!

[huntin4live]

[Baldwin587]

Oh Memories! we had one of thease when i was a kid on the farm.

[crazyfvck]

That thing looks menacing! I bet it sneaks off and eats a few babies when you're not looking ;)

[phill903]

[Copperswilly]

[michaelfarm]

I was waiting for Mel Gibson to jump on it! (Mad Max reference for you youngsters).

[xmodrock]

thats just awesome

[firglenchainsaws]

Fantastic machine! I love finding old machinery and bringing them back to life. It would be best to leave this as it is. I only paint machines if they are total rust buckets with no original paint left intact.

[Kingcharliemurphy]

It looks like something from a saw movie

[1OldIron1]

super nice

[1foxtrot70]

That rascal looks like it would go thru anything!

[transammike]

That thing is so sweet! All you need is a sulky to drive around on at the tractor shows!

[DammitDrag]

Great restoration, please post a video after it is painted

[Cletrac]

@DammitDrag I will probably never paint it. Sorry.

[decoysk]

@Cletrac DON`T EVER PAINT IT WILL LOSE HALF IT`S VALUE ! WHAT A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY !

[michelinman8592]

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!

[Chesterb777]

A friend has restored one, and it runs very well. His was converted to a ride on.

He has another, that I maybe restoring, and it needs handles. did you replace yours, if so, how did you get the oak to bend? And what part of the country do you live?

[Cletrac]

@Chesterb777 The handles are just regular wooden plow handles that are bought the way you see them. They are not hard to find. Just Google "plow handles" and you'll find quite a few suppliers. I live near Cleveland, Ohio.

[sharpteeth17x929yw]

Looks like a first world war tank!

[fischerskidude]

i want one to ride in town

[colbycous01]

[camochannel1]

toooooooooooo cooooooool

[Hazardflag02]

That is AWESOME!!!

[jrkepler]

[RoudyRaccoon]

@jrkepler Took the words out of my mouth.

[GregRedden]

I didn't know that had Self Propelled Antiques

[MrDanoconnor]

That's a GREAT TRACTOR.....The video looks llike it should be in a Steven King Movie! Very Cool!!!!!!!!

[Gerold1981]

looks like its freddy krugers plow LOL! XD

[Bevoin1970]

Wow!! I'd love to have this, it's brilliant !!!

[transammike]

That is sweet!

[Sidetracker]

That's a old Wisconsin engine isn't it? AHH?

[Cletrac]

The engine was built by Vaughan, but it's a real close copy of a Wisconsin AHH. In fact, some parts will interchange.

[slowpokebr549]

Is the cultivator the only attachment you have. I bet she would turn over a nice row with a moldboard. I love the old stuff, but I put it to work. Those old boys knew how to put in a garden.

[Cletrac]

I also have a moldboard plow and a set of discs for it. The discs have a platform in the center that you stand on and ride along.

[slowpokebr549]

Motor sounds great, no knock, no clatter. I bet that it would really work ground in a big garden. I use a David Bradley to cultivate and it doesnt have traction worth a hoot.

[Cletrac]

The engine is all new inside. Bored and sleeved, the whole works! I know what you mean about the David Bradley tractors. They need about 500lbs added to them!!

[pkf129]

i have a large collection and would love to add one of these!!

[tumsshark]

it looks midevil and looks real sweet.

[Mahoses]

thats awesome!! where can i get one??? :D

[D342DIESEL]

Remote control it and take over the world.

[DangerousAernscht]

Hmm... You could make a really sick RC vehicle out of this! =)

[towertooth456]

Freedom!!! FREEDOM!!!

[danielmanocc]

it looks like its from a horror movie

[crabtrap]

Looks like WALL-E 's granpappy is trying to run away from home

[mercedesfan650]

lol...what a BEAST!!! looks good, I say you can't beat the OLD STUFF, run forever and pull better than a 4 wheel tractor way to go!!!

[NOSMOJEFF]

LOL..that is one bad dude!! Awesome!

[1944johndeerel]

do you think you could show it in action actually cultivating? and this looks just like the one in this months farm collector magazine. is that yours in the magazine?

[Cletrac]

I'll see what I can do about a cultivating video. If my tractor is in Farm Collector Magazine, I wasn't aware of it.

[1944johndeerel]

cool thanks this is an awsome machine! im working on a 1949 roto-ette model t the rototiller that would evolve into the

troy-bilt! it is in good shape mecanically. but the ols model 8 briggs has issues. so im going to stick my running model 8 briggs from my parts roto-ette model t on it. i dont even know where my grandfather would have found these. but i saw one of those flex treds in the magazine and wonderd if it was yours looked the same to me!

[fangus503]

That's kinda creepy. It's pretty cool though!

[1944johndeerel]

my great grandpa had a standard monarch garden tractor. it was always parked under a small overhang off the side of the chicken coop. no one knows when the last time it ran was. unfortunatly it sold when the farms contence were auctiond off.

[1944johndeerel]

do you know any history about it or the year it was made?

[Cletrac]

I have a book that says the last Vaughan tractors were built in 1945. I believe this one was built right around 1940, but that's pretty much a guess.

[fl350r]

Very interesting.
