nzcarnerd ◊ 2009-02-08 10:35	Maybe Farmall or Allis-Chalmers?
mike962 ◊ 2014-04-30 22:10	filmed in South America so this can be indeed an US tractor
lightninboy ◊ 2014-04-30 23:02	I don't know anything that matches it.
lightninboy ◊ 2014-05-01 02:02	Could be a Farmall 200 or Massey Ferguson 65 with a narrow front axle? Were there any tractors with a narrow front axle manufactured in South America?
mike962 ◊ 2014-05-01 02:07	guess this has to wait until DVD quality is released.... if ever
mike962 ◊ 2016-12-06 15:11	VARIG is the airline http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000eYg5F3BIA7I/s/500/1001856.jpg

lightninboy ◊ 2017-12-04 00:52	Could be Custom, Montgomery Wards, Simpson Jumbo, Lehr, Rockol. Simpson Jumbo has hubcaps, but does the sheet metal match?
lightninboy ◊ 2017-12-04 18:40	I suppose we could call it a Simpson Jumbo B unless somebody has a better idea. Link to "www.tractordata.com"

lightninboy ◊ 2024-11-27 20:14	"Simpson Jumbo" is the make. "B" is the model for one with a tricycle front end. https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/007/2/3/7236-simpson-jumbo-b.html
mike962 ◊ 2024-11-27 20:27	^ I am not sure on that on the actual tractor it's just Simpson written https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0KG1sFQedA -- Last edit: 2024-11-27 20:28:31
lightninboy ◊ 2024-11-28 22:11	Whatever. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/1948-simpson-jumbo-model-b/ https://www.tractorspecifications.com/en/farm/tractors
mike962 ◊ 2024-11-28 22:26	^ then it's Jumbo part of make and B the model here what I found on the other counterparts Quote According to information we have gathered, including a letter written in 1978 by an official of Dunham Lehr, Inc., the original design and engineering was brought into existence by the Indiana Farm Bureau Coop under the ‘Custom’ name tag. However, World War II stopped all plans for production. Later, Lehr acquired the plans, etc. and marketed roughly 300 units in 1948 and 1949 under the Lehr’s Big Boy name. After Lehr abandoned the project, it was picked up by someone (unknown to us) who manufactured approximately 200 units and marketed them by selling the product to Montgomery Ward. The Lehr name was dropped and these units were sold under Ward’s name. Color changed from bright red to blue. https://www.gasenginemagazine.com/tractors/the-lehr-big-boy/ -- Last edit: 2024-11-28 22:32:52
