This is my humble observation. Notice how the engine was originally designed to allow for hank cranking, though, it was never cranked started since it was on that tractor, as the engine doesn't stretch far enough forward unless you have a very long crank. Notice the front member suspension. There is not even a slight arc in it. I figure that it came from a car built early. My guess is that except for the engine most of the tractor was originally a car or small truck. Notice the gas pedal and single brake pedal instead of two brakes and a hand throttle. I also notice that the outer pedal in pic #2, which appears to activate the brake, appears to be fabricated. The face looks factory, yet, the arm looks like it was welded on. The reason I don't think that the engine came from a tractor is that I figure the frame of that tractor would have been used. I remember that when I was slightly younger, there were agricultural power plants like that. They were used to power all sorts of things, such as sawmills etc. My best guess is that the engine is likely one such power plant. I have a feeling that the transmission is shifted on the colum though the clutch is pretty beefy, Perhaps a twin disc, look at pic #2 & #5. In short, I think the transmission, driveline and suspension are from a truck. The engine was likely a stationary power plant. There are a bunch of acc. from the truck, or atleast car. It appears tied to gather with locally fabricated parts.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
