This is a Shaw model R8. Built in 1950 or 51. They had no serial numbers so you have to go by the engine S/N and guess the build year from there. No manuals were supplied either. These were made in Galesburg, Kansas in the 30s thru 50s. Many parts were overstock from other manufacturers like Ford. This particular model is powered by a 8 HP Briggs model 23 FBC followed by a Borg Warner transmission, the same one that Studebakers used. It came with middle and rear cultivator or plow rigs. Its a well built, fun little tractor to drive and play with. The draw bar shown in this pic is my concoction so I can pull the grand kids around in a wagon. The Shaw Comp started out making motorized bicycles, then went into two wheel walk behind tractors, and then into full four wheel models. The company was eventually sold to Bush Hog in the late 50s or early 60s.
And BTW I also thank all those families who lost loved ones in the service. Didn't mean to slight them in any way!
