Does anyone know much about the model b worthington tractor. I had a guy stop by my office asking if I would be interested. I know it has the B motor. But that's about all I know about them.
 
Great if you own a golf course as that was the main market for them along with airports to tow aircraft. Arnold Palmer used one when he worked at a local golf course when he was young and I understand that he still has it or one like it.
 
I mainly want the B motor. And the 32 grille shell and 32 front axle off it. And what ever other stuff that is car related. He said its sat for a long time. I just did not know what was all car related on it.
 
A lot of doodlebugs out there. It may have a Ford Industrial 4-cylinder. Ford made Model A & B motors for a long time after the cars they fit were superseded. Many of them are diamond blocks.
 
I bought one once, brake drums on the front that never had shoes on them,B engine with counterweight crank,I parted it out, save des the crank, used part of the frame toile my smiths compressor, it is slow with the 7-1 reduction gear, the pinion gear is modified for the reduction gear so it can't be used in a car, about 20 lbs of brass castings. - the one I got was only good for parts
The block was cracked and rusted through the ex portj
 
Lawrence Academy in Ma. had one in 1955 for the grounds mowing I believe and it also jumped timing one a.m. while mowing !! If Infound one I might try to restore it. kc
 
I have 1929 AA truck doodlebug, I was told it was used on agolf course. You can see it on my sign in screen. Would sell if someone is interested. John
