I just acquired a Worthington tractor by Worthington Mower Co. My unit has a 4 cylinder Continental "Red Seal" engine and the radiator shroud has RED SEAL reading down each side. It has 16 inch dual drivers located underneath the engine, a seat and a fairly long chassis with a miniature "pickup box" with a tailgate that opens. I has two 16 inch (5.50 x 16) inch rear tires. It is a rear steer unit. It also has a built in hydraulic pump with a 2-way valve connected for a single acting cylinder. It looks as if someone was in the process of making a push snowplow blade with hydraulic lift, but never completed the project. There is a curved yoke pivoted underneath with a pivot hole for a blade or something, but no blade. There are two aircraft (Grumann) hydraulic cylinders hooked to it, the lugs on the yoke "C" clamped on but not welded. There are no mower units with it. There does not seem to be any provisions for Power Take-Off for a rotary type mower or other accessory. It was given to me by an older (mid 70's?) friend who's (late) father owned it. My friend also has a "CleTrac" crawler that I hope to acquire. I was going to try to start it, hooked up a 6V battery and cranked it over, but the gas cap was missing and the tank pretty well crudded up. The fuel sediment bowl gasket tore when I removed it, so I gave up and winched it onto a trailer and hauled it "home". I wrote down the Model number and Serial number but forgot where I wrote it down. It is at my farm in Eastern Colorado, but I live in Denver. Getting it running is not high on my priority list of things to do right now. I am in the process of building a "big tin shed" building to house this and many other of my "toys" and this will wait until that project is completed.
