I saw two at auction probably 35 to 40 years ago
at a farm sale. My father took me pretty much so I could see one. They generally came as a kit, probably in the 30's. They used a model T Ford engine that the customer supplied(tho I think they later could also be bought with the tractor)
as at that time farmers were in tough shape financially and they were plenty of T's around
for the engine, as most people were going for the new, more comfortable cars (used T's then probably sold for $15 to $25).

In the late 60's, the two tractor's brought somewhere around $200 each. Not sure why they were bought or where they went.

My father at that time told me they worked all right, but were not a tractor engine and didn't have many creature comforts, even for that time.
