This is an old Samson Sieve Grip tractor that we recently finished rebuilding. The engine was in pieces when we got it and missing critical parts including the head. Parts are extremely rare for these so we were forced to fabricate a new head from scratch. Thankfully this engine is a flathead type so it wasn't too bad but it still took a great deal of effort. It now runs very well and has a healthy sound to it. My phone's camera truly does not to the sound of this tractor justice. You can feel it in your chest! We used our 22 Cat to help start the engine, it was far too stiff to hand crank! Unfortunately, I never had the chance to take a video of it driving around before we sent it back to it's home in California. Enjoy!
