Down in the woods, just off my property, there was what I thought was some old implement. I cleared away some of the vines last Sat, and discovered it was some sort of tractor. The two rear wheels are steel/iron with cleats about three feet in diameter. There are two large sprockets on each wheel for some of that heavy ag drive chain. There is part of an engine block mounted just behind the wheels and a heavy cast tractor seat. The single front wheel is also metal and is about two feet in diameter. The front wheel steers with a tiller(sail boat type.) There is a heavy metal bar sticking straight back with both a hook and a hole at the end. I guess this was a draw bar. The whole thing is only about four feet wide and five feet long. There is an upright lever with a tab which is connected to a gear which looks like it slid along a shaft from one gear to another. The whole thing is so rusty and corroded that when I leaned on part of the frame, it broke through. Didn't see a name on it anywhere. Nor did I see a fuel tank. There were two foot pedals, no running board. The seat is over the engine block and gears about half way between front and back. Any one got any idea what this may have been. It definitely is way far gone.

If it is in as bad a shape as you described it may die when you try to salvage it.

No doubt about it, you were looking at the remains of the Prairie Dominator (walk-behind model). There has been some discussion on the Tractor Talk forum as to whether this tractor really did exist but sounds like somebody found one. Get that puppy up on a trailer and get it home, yesterday if not sooner. You might find yourself on the cover of Time Magazine if you play things correctly.
