[AT] Hot Bulb Engine (tractor)

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Never heard of them either. Didn't see anything in Wendels tractor book or 
the Nebraska tractor test. Even tried American and Robert Bosch.  The only 
thing I can think of is a Lanz and maybe a Marshall (or was it Field 
Marshal).

Dave Rotigel may can shed light on hot bulb engines or point you toward 
someone who can.

Keep us posted, wouldn't mind seeing a picture of this thing.

Subject: [AT] Hot Bulb Engine (tractor)

My son in Chicago called me. A neighbor has an old tractor that he no longer
wants and asked my son if he would like to have it.  The neighbor says it's
a 1939 Bosch hot bulb tractor.  My son says he's not sure the tractor is
Bosch but for sure the engine is.  The neighbor uses a blow torch to start
it. It uses #6 diesel.

My son said the tractor is too large to fit through the door to his barn
(his Boomer w/cab just barely clears the top of the door opening).  He says
this old tractor is really big.  I cannot wait to see the pictures.

I cannot find a single hit on the internet for a Bosch tractor.  Anyone know
if Bosch ever made a tractor?

Any experience with hot bulb engines?

Thanks

Dick
