I looked at a Wards tractor at a local threshing show in SE South Dakota last weekend. It was a 1953 model with wide non adjustable front end and live hydraulics and rear rock shaft.
Are there more around the country running? Did they have model numbers? How many years were they made? It is called a fluid drive with Chrysler components. Does anybody have sales literature or operators manuals or parts books on these? This one was sold new locally and looks and runs great.

I have seen a couple of them. I saw one in a book of postcards. It looks like what you've described. Wide, non adjustable front axle. This one, it says, is in Indiana.

Contact: Custom Club International; 3516 Hamburg Road; Eldoredo, Ohio; 45321. Phone [513] 273-5692. The Wards tractors are just Custom tractors with a Wards nameplate on them, sold through Montgomery Ward. There is also a Lehr Big Boy which is pretty much the same tractor. I don't recall the connection between the companies. Also, there was a Simpson Jumbo built in California, if I remember correctly. It was the same design tractor. This same design turns up in Canada under the brand name Rockoll. E-mail me if you want more info. And yes, there are several of these tractors around.
