John's Old Antique Tractor Pictures
![]() |
After the success of John's
Old Car and Truck Pictures I decided to try a web site on old tractors.
Again like on my other web sites my visitors are invited to email me a picture of their old tractor. I will do my best to have the pictures placed on the page the same day I receive them. You may use this link to do so. E Mail I would like to also mention that I am no expert on tractor but have always like looking at pictures of them. I hope as I progress with this web site I will get to learn something about them. The pictures you see on this page came mostly from
Kijiji
and
eBay
and are offered for sale

Many of these antique tractors are shown as they came
from the field to be sold. Weed, sods and dirt.

The first powered tractors used steam and were introduced
in 1868. These tractors were built as small road locomotives and were usually
operated by one person. They were used for general haulage and the timber
trade. One of the most popular steam tractor was the Garrett 4CD.
These early tractors utilized wide metal tires, especially
in the rear of the machine to disperse the weight. The front wheels often
had ridges to help them steer in the dirt. This was not the best
way to obtain traction and it forced engineers to come to another form
of wheels. A continuous belt with slats were fitted to the
front and back wheels. This style has been made famous by Caterpillar
company and is still used in heavy earth moving equipment today.
J.I. Case's first pioneering efforts at producing a
gas traction engine date to around 1894.
Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr began their pioneering
work on gas engines in the late 1800s.
In 1907 under the direction of chief engineer Joseph Galamb, Henry Ford produced his first experimental gasoline powered tractor. It was not called a "tractor" but rather a "automobile plow". The name tractor was not used until after 1910. The gasoline powered tractors were used extensively in farming. The Frick Company was located in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. George Frick started his business in 1853 and built steam engines into the 1940's. The Frick Company was also well known for sawmills and refrigeration units. |
