Very Cool Depression Era Model A Doodlebug! PRICE DROP!

Model A Ford "Doodlebug" This is a depression era tractor built sometime in the early 40's from Model "A" components ranging from 1928-1931. Its sitting on an original frame that has been narrowed, A Model AA (commercial truck) rear end with dual tires and added snow chains, A 4 speed AA truck transmission, and a conventional Model A Engine. The plow is operated by a winch that runs over the cowl panel going down to a makeshift plow they made using two 50 gallon oil drums cut in half. The cowl is from a 30-31 Roadster, and the original gas tank is still being used.The wood is all mostly rough cut timber, this entire tractor is about 95% original as it was made more then 70 years ago. The engine runs but does have a knock in the bottom end, more then likely the Babbitt has worn out on a connecting rod, it is possible that you could remove a shim if there is any left although i doubt it. Despite the knock it still runs and drives, with enough torque to rip a house apart. This is an awesome piece of history and i would love to see it go to a good home. It is best to call me if interested, i can reached at 610-679-0311, Will.
