One of my other projects is a classic farm tractor, a 1946 Farmall Model A. It has a 113 CID, 4 cylinder, OHV engine which produces 18 HP and 70 pounds of torque, basically all low end torque. The motor only has a top speed of 1,500 RPMs. Also has a 4 speed manual transmission and both a shaft and belt pulley power take offs. The motor is pretty tough with all forged steel internals, wet cylinder sleeves, full floating pins, and bronze valve guides bone stock. Mine has electric start and distributor ignition option, most used magnetos. I had to split the tractor in half to rebuild the clutch. It has a few upgrades I put in it. A Farmall C governor spring swap so she can rev to 1,600 RPM, !2 volt alternator upgrade, electronic ignition to delete the points, and a aftermarket seat cushion as the stock seats are uncushioned steel pans. Luckily, mine came with rear wheel weights for better traction.
Here is a stock image of an A.
You are not seeing things, As are distinctive offset tractors, driver sits on the right and the powertrain is offset to the left for better ground vision. Currently I have a 5 foot wide pull behind mower deck that can mow down saplings. Also have a hitch ball for pulling my cargo trailer. My future plan is to get some LED headlights for it and maybe front wheel weights or a brush bar.
