ChubbyMinnow 34 #1 Posted September 21, 2021 Thinking about inquiring about the tractor in the background in these pics. I thought i had it figured out but a couple details got me stumped. Any thoughts? I am told it ran two years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,726 #3 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) They are neat old tractors. Built by the same company that made the Economy Power King tractors. L & G magazine did a series about them recently. It probable had a Briggs engine. Transmission is a T92 Crosly used in a lot of things. Very stout differential and bull gears.

ChubbyMinnow 34 #5 Posted September 21, 2021 Thks. You nailed it! Sure learned alot looking for a match and some history of different tractors. Including Speedex and that whole story. it amazes me, even if running or fully restored, how little these (coolest rides around) go for no matter the brand. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason old garden tractors up here in Maine have become platinum coated and gold infused. In all seriousness if I was actually looking for a running driving good quality usable tractor I would likely be better off to drive to Pennsylvania to purchase even including the fuel and time for the trip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,397 #8 Posted September 21, 2021 Is it in the Power King family? Made by Economy? A Red E perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,726 #9 Posted September 21, 2021 That hood notched around the gas tank says Jim Dandy, Economy, Power King. Could be a Red-E. but I don’t think so. They were all made in the same plant at the same time. The more options that came standardit changed the name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slim67 2,735 #11 Posted September 21, 2021 Sure looks like a Jim dandy. Perhaps that’s the model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually have one that I'm sort of "tractor sitting" for @Stepney. Difference is mine does not have a hood on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Power king and Jim dandy I know but have never heard of a country squire unless it was a station wagon. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same with me until a couple days before it showed up at my house. Same basic machine. Like mentioned above the options are a little different I guess. As I said it does not have a hood on it right now but it appears that it did at one point. Spenser mentioned that it was considered optional equipment back then.
