No doubt had a granny gear.

Lots of places here in North Carolina did not have roads in the early part of the 20th century. Tractors or doodle bugs or horses and wagons were the only way to get to those places. The communities were closed and close nit. Everything, such as pottery, was made locally.

Reminds me of playing on the Fordson tractor in my great aunt & uncles barn in the 1950s. My dad said it had been a bad deal. Whenever it broke it was hard to get parts for. Henry was busy selling new tractors and not supporting the ones already out there.

Henry was following the money.....the American way still today.
