Herder 2,354 #8 Posted September 11, 2021 I don't know what that tractor is but I sure do want one..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,644 #9 Posted September 11, 2021 I was told it's an Atomic Babe, but it may be a Haney, or a Garver. I believe they were made in Doylestown Pa. Also this may be a 1946, the year is unknown at the moment.. When it gets here I will find out for sure. 25 minutes ago, Herder said: I don't know what that tractor is but I sure do want one..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Babe may have original rear tires. They are currently being reproduced in some sizes. Not sure about the fronts. Cant wait to see some more pic's, get her home soon.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I won't be looking to restore but running good and functional. Original tires would be a plus in my book. I hope later today or tomorrow for arrival. Hoping to Haul a hay wagon with it for Halloween 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other tires wouldn't hold air so swapped out for these to make it easier loading/ unloading 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Double check your size when you get a minute and I'll do the same. If you can use these, you're welcome to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
