VAC-13

Guys, I posted the question below as I recently bought this tractor. (Paid too much, but fell in love - sucker born every minute) It is listed as a 1952 VAC-13. It appears to have both 34 inch rubber and an AWF. How long were they in production?? I checked all my books and cannot find anything on the 13. Can anyone tell me how many were made and when?

I just figured out how to work this thing with the expand. I'm a little slow on these computers. I thought the computer grinch had forever baned me from responding. The wide front and the flat deck platform make it a vac 13. The vac 14 is a wide front with the platform down low so you set straddle of the tranny etc like the 'furggie'. Maybe Clauson can forgive me for using that word. The 14 could be ordered with a narrow front but my understanding is that the rears on a 14 were 28 only. They were usualy a wider tire though. It's still a 14 because of the platform. If you want a narrow front 13 you just ordered a vac12 because they were identical other than the front end configuration. The rears on the thirteen could be 28 or the taller tires. If you get a chance some time measure the actual height of the 32 and 34. You'll probably be surprised as I was that the 32 are sometimes shorter than the 28. The 9x32 were not a very deep tire. Hope this helps.
