With hours of discussion on this tractor between friends, I think it’s safe to say there was no rhyme or reason to how these tractors existed. There were probably several of these tractors running at the same time and the engineers would grab the first available tractor to do their thing to. Who knows how many configurations that tractor went through. The frame rails, sheet metal and the steering wheel may be the only the only things left of the original unit. Having worked in R&D alittle I know anything goes when something needs tested.
Excellent video Dr. Rust nice peice of history for sure and so cool to hear! I know that was wild on 1968 McCormick International 105C combine gas motor my late Father, his brother my uncle had farm shock me and the Spark plugs were 13/ 16 size hex on the Champions my late dad ran in and was 4 cylinder 202 Cubic Inches size ! Easy to matinne up too!
@@DrRust it’s very rare to hear about prototype Farmal tractors some ended up at University of Madison, Wisconsin, agricultural department and some ended up at auction Minnesota Cokato or litchfield think or some somewhere near there auction yard. Thank you for showing that Tractor. I really enjoyed seeing it. Yes, I grew up on a farm.
At this time I don’t think we know enough about the situation to speculate and I don’t know of any official memos about it Hopefully someday some papers will turn up explaining it all
