Ok, this Ohio rowcrop farmer knows very little about the wheatland series, and even less about the orchards. But, its definately an orchard tractor. An O-6 would be a gas orchard type tractor with the 6 series engine (similar to the Farmall model M), underslung exhaust, and full orchard cowling. Meaning it would have very streamlined sheetmetal covering the sides of the engine, the steering wheel and top half of the rear wheels. An OS-6, I understood to be, basically, an O-6 shipped factory without the elaborate sheetmetal. So, I would say you have a diesel version of an O-6 with the majority of the sheet metal missing. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe all the small holes on the top of the hood support this idea. A full orchard dress tractor would need these holes to let air pulled in from the radiator fan up through the engine compartment and out the top to avoid overheating, because the sides of the engine would be covered up. The missing sheet metal hurts the value a little, but its still a great tractor. Any orchard model tractor is somewhat a rarity, but I have no idea how many were made. I'd love to have it, but I'm guessing you're somewhere in California. That would be a long drive for me.

In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
