Looks like it was built from a mess of old cars and trucks! First, the front axle is probably from a Buick, Chevy, or some other make. It has been turned up-side down to provide better ground clearance! Second: The cowl and hood resemble a Model A Ford, although i see no sign of the gas cap filler in the top of the cowl panel! Third: the rear wheels are definitely from the early Twenties, and probably from the same old Buick, etc. Fourth: The frame is probably from the old truck or car that the other parts came from! fifth: I don't recognize the radiator shell! (see No. 4) Note: Those old Homade Tractors were cobbled together by farmers who couldn't afford a real tractor! I had several Model T and A "homaders" which i used around my place to drag non-running machinery when i was junking it. One Model A homade tractor came in handy! I built a snow plow for it. Had a turnable and up/ down blade! I used it to plow out the local neighbors driveways! I bought up those machines to get parts for my Model T's and A's, which i ran every day to work, etc. HTH Rustyj
