Photo Victor Tractor Video

This is a tractor sold in a kit. You could either get the frame in wood or steel and you supplied your own power plant. It was made in Louden Ohio.






This tractor is pretty small. If you notice the gearing it is very much over engineered. Also see the differential on the right side.

Hi BDmelon, I'd be interested in seeing some of the stuff you have on the company. What year did they start making/selling kits? I've seen that tractor in your video at a show before & the front wheel is about the same as what's on my dad's tractor. Would our's just be a little eariler? It's a wood framed tractor but has an iron from under it.

Here's a page I made up awhile back after we had gotten our's back together.

thanks,

Is this the Victor tractor you talking about Nic? This one was at Buckley Show. The other picture I have is Victor corn cutter is what booklet said. Still tring to get Dad to give up some Infor. But he has looked long & hard for what he has, & is some what difficult to get under his LOCK & KEY.But I try to see if I can at least get some date(s) on this tractor stuff, As you can see they just made up frames & drivetrain, you found what engine to use.
