did what fuel runs it?

[smgussey]

@hdug86989 Probably Kerosene originally, but running on gasoline here.

I don't know how many are still around - but they are a rare tractor. The spoked flywheel was only used for two years and many of them were replaced with solid flywheels or cracked during normal use. I think there were three Spoker D's at Rollag WMSTR this year.

As you can see from the plaque on the front of the tractor, and the title of the video, it is a 1924 model.

You could put electric start on this...but some people would consider that rape.

@smgussey the spoked fly wheel was used for only 1 and a half years, half way through the 1924 production they switched to the solid flywheel, which in my opinion is a shame, because the spokers look so much better

[holycrapimjesus]

@bangwezl people were stupid enough to put there hands in the fly wheels, and they also had a tendency to fly apart while running.

@TeamHeartbreakKidz "Spokers are dangerous"

You want to explain that just a little further?
