Lessmann not Lehmann. Sorry

Interesting! That second set of cylinders on the loader makes it look rather unwieldy--be interesting to see how well it actually works.

Wow, that looks strongly build. Never heard of one, where is it made?

Is that a flathead Ford V8 I see in there?

These were made in Desmoine iowa. Apparently Ford had a truck plant there and Mr. Lessmann bought components thru them. The tractor has the Ford V8 flathead engine. A 4 speed transmission and a forward reverse shuttle. The lift system was rather unique as the two extra cylinders located at the knee of the loader allow the loader to have a lot of lift height and more importantly it has a lot of reach for dumping into trucks. The downfall of this system is that the loader tends to twist if the load is unequally distributed across the bucket. Apparently it is an idea that never caught on. There are not many of these tractors around.

I am thinking I saw an article in Farm Show about a tractor like that. Except it was painted blue.
