I think what you have is really a doodlebug of a somewhat better built variety. There were lots of them built during ww2 but most were really farmered. There were Model A's all over the place and no one wanted any. The last one I had, I bought for 25.00. That was a coupe with a rumble seat. Anyway, the chain and sprocket drive was a good idea and was used to get the needed reduction. Most people used 2 trannys in series for that,plus an old truck rear with a lower reduction and dual wheels. The problem was that after you got it all done, you still didn't have anything because it used gas like going out of style and gas was rationed besides. So most people just parked the thing and went back to using horses. Your best bet now would be to find the parts you need and convert it back into a Model A. Good Luck. In the 1960's we cut up all the coupes we could find and made stock cars from them.

It sounds like a home built rig to me.The poor model A`s and T`s were subjects
to a lot of modifications. There were a few companys that made kits to convert model
T`s into tractors.we have a neighbor whos Dad made a hay buck from an old Ford 1 1/2 ton truck. its my guess that some one built what they needed out of what they had.
I hope that thiss helps.

It is possible that what you have is a Worthington golf course tractor. They built a unit similar to this for pulling gangs of reel type mowers across golf courses. If it is a real Worthington, it should have one of their ID plates on it. Does the dash show any sign of an ID plate being attached to the passenger side at one time?
