Need help to indentify this tractor

[rustydollar]

Google search returns nada, is anyone able to indentify the manufacture, model and year this tractor was made.

All I have at the moment are these pictures that a neighbour brought over, says the tractor can be had for scrap price.

Not sure if the Wabco decal belongs or if someone stuck it on.

Mate... that looks like a scratch-built doodlebug. (and that's being unkind to the original doodlebugs)

Don't get me wrong, it takes skill to cobble together a working tractor from whatever is 'around. But it looks like Frankenstein's Monster.

I wonder if it started life as an industrial tug?

 

[GLyford]

I think it looks a little too well balanced and proportioned to be a typical homemade unit. Only the hydraulics really look like a cobble, and not that badly at that.

I'd say haul it home and look for a data plate. Looks like a simple straight forward mechanical machine, and should be able to be worked on from basic principles...?

Pretty cool looking. Does look like it was meant to tow but the loader looks to be the same vintage as the rest of the machine. The only thing I see cobbled on is the hydraulic pump and controls.

I think you nailed it, I'll be having a telephone chat with the owner later today, his father in law provided the pictures but said they know nothing about the little tractor it came with a property purchase.

The rear tires, Power King Towmax kinda gives it away as to a previous live as a tug, I'm curious about fuel type and transmission.

I sent a few pictures to Wabco thinking someone there might be old enough to recognize the machine but haven't heard back. Made contact with the owner he told me they had it running last fall but could not drive it becuase the hydraulic slave for the clutch is not working, said the engine is British but could not remember it name.

He's going to send me more pictures this evening, also told me a $50.00 bill buys the tractor, now to hunt up a trailer.

I'll post the new pictures once I have them, still would like to identify the engine.

A very old "Terramite"?

Thanks, the Terramite looks to be the best match.

I had earlier today sent those pictures to Terramite, here's their reply.

I hope you beat a path to pay him. A uhaul car trailer would haul it with ease. Just take a come along or winch.

No problem the tractor is will be mine, its not advertised.

No U-haul with in a two hour drive from my home, so even of I bob tailed it into the city and picked up a trailer the return would have to go to Brandon MB. I can probably borrow a trailer over the weekend.

As for Perkins wished it were, I've been researching English engine most of the day and the closest I found was the Standard Vanguard but the fuel pump on wrong side of the engine.

Owner thought the name of the engine started with a "T" but could not remember the full name just that is was British.

I'd pay $50 just for the seat! Great piece of yard art if nothing else...

I wouldn't admit it if I was Terraquip either.

I would name it one-eye or cyclops or something. Have fun.

I'm just here to see where this goes.

 

[shootemup604]

It reminds me of the Case 442 or 646 type tractors.

Woke up this morning to a fresh cup of coffee with the devils advocate sitting across the table from me, she pointed out that my Satoh S650G project was orphaned due to being unable to find parts for the engine.

I'm going to take a pass on this tempting gem and busy myself wit the few projects currently on the go.

Install automatic transmission into 96 Dodge Dakota then install the rebuilt hydro into my Allis 720 then rewire the Simp 9020. The build that still I've been longing for - essential oils.
