Anybody know anything about the Wards tractors sold by Montgomery Ward about 1950. Was there more than one engine avaible and what size was it. Told there were 2 different size engines but would like to know more about each. If there were different engines what plow size were the tractors rated at. Our neighbor had one he farmed with for years and pulled a 3-14" Oliver clutch lift plow. Anybody have a owners manual or parts list that would show the hitch setup that you could scan and send to me? I am on the pull comity for a local show this weekend and we have rules that the tractors have to be strictly out of field models with NO nodifications to the drawbars and only normal after market repower engine kits that are sutible for field work. We have a Wards that has been comming in and taking top place for years but I knowing more about them than any of the other pull commity members know he is not legal as he has no drawbar but he says that is the way it was made, I think we have him on that now as at Portland I got pictures of 4 different Wards tractors with 3 different owners and they would not all have hand built the same type drawbar. The pull is based on 1 plow, 2 plow, 3 plow & 4 plow sizes with a Farmall M being a 3 plow and a Farmall H being a 2 plow and a C being a 1 plow tractor. I know our neighbors tractor was very closed to match his Farmall M and as a 3 plow tractor. This person claims they made a smaller model that was a 2 plow tractor and that is what he has and insests on pulling with the Farmall H and late John Deere B tractors but I think it belongs with the Farmal M and late John Deere A tractors. So far we have not had anybody challange him but we know that he is not following the rules and want to get him out of competion (would let him pull as exibition). We do not have a scale and fluid or 2 sets of rear wheel weights are allowed, no front weights and no weight brackets, the weight bust be fastened like for field work and no cut and widened rear wheel rims and with 1 size over rear tires. With these rules we have all the pullers that we can get thru in a half day and always a good size croud watching. Would appreciate any help in proving correctness of this tractor.
