'Fast' tractors -over 20 mph- have been around in some areas for awhile. Moline UDL was one late 1930s design and they are still around in collections. European tractors- some area they are the haul things to market on main road vehicles, some posters from UK note registration and insurance requirements for tractors expected to be used on the roads, occasional tourist hits the tractor incidents. English/European Massey 2135, 2165 variations in a few posts seem to have a transverse leaf spring on front end with front brakes and radius rods like old Ford axles, they are being used on city streets and some minor road as well as occasion picture in use on main highway- trannies are noted to be over and underdrives, headlights and turn signals, mirrors. Some of the tax laws, vehicle laws make having a field only use tractor and a medium truck to haul things to town expensive- tractor still has to get a registration and truck gets high insurance as commercial use plus license fees. Use the tractor for hauling to town with a trailer that doesn't get taxed or very little and low insurance on tractor means small farmer can make some money on seasonal crops. US had Fridays and Loves in Michigan that could do about 45 or better depending on the load pulled- these were low to ground orchard tractors that hauled fruit and veggie harvest to canneries over main roads and did some field prep with mostly pulled equipment. Chrysler 6 cylinder flatheads and drive trains, couple rebuild featured with OHV slant 6 with 4 barrel carbs and dual split exhausts- the one was noted to have gotten speeding ticket on expressway when 55 was the limit- and ticket was for 20 over the limit.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter.
