When I was growing up in the 60's, my dad had an old red tractor that we used to haul things around the yard. It looked like a scaled down version of the classic farm tractor: small wheels up front, big wheels in back and a steel seat. It had a B&S-type air-cooled horizontal-shaft engine (9HP?) with the crankshaft running fore and aft. On the front of the engine was an old-school rope pull (no recoil) that you had to manually wrap around a capstan each time you made a pull. On the rear of the engine the crankshaft was connected to a pulley with a fan belt that connected to 2nd pulley directly below. The 2nd pulley was connected to the transmission drive shaft. There was a long lever on the right side of the driver that (when pulled rearward) would tighten the fan belt and engage the engine & transmission. Speed was controlled by a throttle on the dash. I believe the tranny only had forward and reverse. The engine had an external fuelwater separator with a glass bowl and manual petcock drain. There was a pedal on either side of the driver that was connected via a long lever to the rear wheels that served as brakes. I remember that it had only on accessory: a lever-operated plow blade up front. Can any guess the make or model of this tractor? I seem to remember the word �Cub� or �Cadet� somewhere on the tractor, but I could be mistaken.
