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.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
