Im looking over my Earthmaster I noticed the following. Rear tirea are 9x24. it has massive wheel
weights for such a small tractor. these appear to be factory. The rear wheels by reversing would indeed
extend to 84 inches. As well the front axle would extend to 84 inches. The engine however looks as it
would be more for a massive pocket watch LOL. Engine tag is mostly unreadable only thing I can make
out is 51. Oliver fan stated that the model D is rare. I am not one to exclaim my tractor is rare
and more valuable, however it does look to be a model D. Are there any other ways to tell differences
of models? Maybe friend George is correct, Difference between <=Model CX and D is just one letter.
seat mounting seems to be with springs as the picture of model D. Thanks to all for information. Will
try to post pictures later.

They all reportedly used the Continental N62 engine which was also used in the Massey Harris Pony and the Allis G. There is a plethora of information about these tractors on the internet but unfortunately I can't seem to get any links to work. I started by doing a search for ' Earthmaster tractor engines' and loads of info came up including 'FAQs on Earthmaster Tracors', etc.

That N62 Continental engine was also used in Case's model V. The Case model V was the forerunner of the Case model VA. It looked somewhat like the VA, but shared virtually no similar components, including the engine. VA's engine was an engine completely designed by Case, as were internal components like transmissions, brakes, clutches etc. The V's internal components were all off the shelf components from other manufacturers.

According to tractordata.com, the Case V was equipped with the Continental F-124 engine and claimed to have 26 PTO horsepower. I know tractordata isn't always correct, but I tend to believe this because the Allis G and MH Pony were rated at 11 and 12 hp.

The 9 x 24 tire will not help you tell between a C and a D. The CA tractors had 9 x 24 tires either as standard or as an option. The NC tractors had 9 x 24 tires standard. The wide axles were only on the D series of tractors. The 9 x 24 tire eliminates the DH and the DXH so you have a model D.

All Earthmaster tractors are rare, only a few thousand made with likely only 2-3 hundred of the NC tractors. There are no good production numbers so it would be hard to say how many model Ds were made but I doubt it would have been more than a few hundred. That does not make if particularly valuable but does make it rare. I can't wait for the photos, it is always good to see another Earthmaster saved.

What makes the weights appear factory? Tractor weights were made all over the country, and since weights were usually added by the dealer they were just as likely to come from a regional foundry than from the factory.

Earthmaster wheel weights:

Part number rear 54751, front 54721, which are cast into the weights.

The weights came standard with the C and D models so they would have been Earthmaster weights.
