Ralph: If I err not, the Thieman was a "kit" tractor, where the buyer furnished the driveline (typically from a Ford model A, though many others were used as well) and installed it in the Thieman frame. Because of this, there's no easy way of knowing what the speeds are going to be, as each tractor had the potential to be unique depending on exactly what components were used.

It should be easy enough to test the tractor's speed--most GPS devices, including many smart phones, have a MPH indicator application built in, or find someone with a radar gun.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
