UPDATE in reply to ClemBert, 08-10-2005 16:52:29

I came across the follow blurb from the linked website below. Based on this and comments from some of you could it be that it is a self propelled celery transplanter?

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ====
"Frustrated by the slow and inefficient results of planting celery by hand, Ben Poll along with his two brothers, Henry and Louis, designed and built a small self propelled transplanter. Their planter was not only faster and easier than planting by hand, it planted celery better than hand planting, resulting in a higher quality crop. In 1927 the brothers quit farming and began the Holland Celery Planter Company."

Self Propelled Transplanter

You win a point for that!!! in reply to 2x4, 08-11-2005 18:19:57

Good catch. You know, I never noticed that turtle sitting under that contraption. In fact, when you mentioned a turtle I had no idea what you were talking about until I took a very close look at that first pic.

That is in fact a "land" turtle. We've got plenty of them in Florida and other interesting critters. I'll have to take some critter pics sometime and post them.

I believe that it is a transplanter with a lot missing, should have a guide sticking out front to follow a marker track and the front (Single) wheel is the opener for the transplanting furrow. If you can get a hold of someone from the Winimac, In. show they might be able to help you as there were 2 complete ones at the show this year in july. If you need information on show I can get you contact information

I think it must have had its own engine. Look at the size of the sprocket on the rear axle .
Big sprocket to small , big sprocket to small.
The rear axle would have been turning a lot slower than the shaft where the clutch is . Also, it has sprockets for roller chain . I would figure
out how to mount a hit and miss engine on it, and
have the only one of it's kind tractor.

The engine is a Morse Fairbanks throttle governed engine.

What year of manufacture? in reply to Ks-farmer, 08-11-2005 10:51:41

Also, was this engine purchased for use as a "kit" engine to build whatever your heart desired?

I'll bite. Maybe a mini self-propelled seeder/tractor used in row crop market gardening - i.e. celery. Small front wheel look like it might be an opener, wide rear drive wheels for flotation on soft/damp soil?? As others have posted, there's quite a bit missing - I suspect wooden parts that have long since rotted in the Florida climate.

I was thinking of a transplanter even before I read that the area was big into celery. Possibly the two big wheels were in the lead, two people sat behind them, with the turning wheel between them to correct direction. Not sure but have seen similar, larger and more modern setups.

Additional Clues in reply to ClemBert, 08-10-2005 16:52:29

I believe that one of those pictures shows an engine block, perhap a one cylinder engine. Note the flywheel.

The equipment was sitting under a tree area of my acreage. Historically, the acreage has been a pasture (cows) since the 1950s. Prior to that going back to the the early 1900s they were growing celery out there. This area was known as the celery capital of the world at one time (Sanford, Florida just outside of Orlando).

I've never seen anything like it. My guess is that there is something missing that would have helped identify what it was used for.

I think there is a whole lot missing as well, like a reaper maybe. It;s definatly the ground drive for some machine . The only ones that come to mind are mowers, reapers and corn binders.

it has a lot of similarities to my grampa's transplanter but the gearing seams a bit exessive unless it was self propelled.. but that could be with out much of a problem
