Thieman tractor company offered a kit to make a tractor and the buyer supplied the motor, transmission and differential. A kit could be ordered to use Chevy, Ford, Dodge, etc, power trains. Everyone I have seen were row crop units.

It sounds like a doodle bug to me, a homemade tractor. People needed tracotrs, but diddnt have the money for one, so they would find an old car or 2 and some tractor wheels and get to work! Some of them turned out pretty cool!!

Many years ago, I saw what looked like a T model Ford coupe, with a tractor rear end bolted on. The back was jacked up of course due to the iron wheels...which were about the size of a Cub's or Super A's. It has been so long ago, I just don't recall the details....except it was a real Rube Goldberg contraption.
