[AT] looking for small / interesting tractor to restore.

[George Willer]

Larry,

As far as I know it's proprietary.  It's a system of planetary gears and
clutches.  It may be patterned after the model T Ford, except that's it's a
dual range.  The dual range selector is between the transmission and
differential, so the model T comparison can't be ruled out... but the main
control is a single lever that selects hi-lo-rev in addition to the dual
range.

The engine is a 10 HP Wisconsin.

Those guys spent far too much building the tractors to ever hope for any
profit.

Sounder NEEDS one of these!
