Saved from the scrapper

Nice find. Have fun with the restoration.

Hi, Eds-oldiron.
The tinware may be missing from around the engine but it's ALL there and REMARKABLY straight on the tracks.

If that old plow seat is replacing the original upholstered seat, it would have less back support but probably more spring than the original and would have been cooler to sit on due to the ventilation - - - unless left out in the sun. Then - one hot butt.

Good catch. Thanks for sharing. Happy restoring.

. . . and she is a wide gauge!!

What is the bunch of pieces that are on the rear end?
Some sort of 2 point or crude 3 point lift system?

The pieces on the rear make up a hyd tool bar that would hold CAT style scarifier shanks. The shaft above that looks to have held a spool of?? maybe?? There is the remains of what appears to have been a chain drive pump off the mag drive shaft.

I couldn't make out what it was in the first photo. Too shadowy.
I see it more clearly now.

While taking a better look at this attachment, I noticed 3 more brass tags riveted to the inner fenders. One is a lube chart and can't make out the others. Will have to get some better light.

Took another look at the tags. Can someone tell me if this is a factory location for the tags. The two on the right are a patent # tag, and I can only make out "track tractor" on the other. Even without all the added iron on the rear, it would still be difficult to read the lube chart on the left side, without getting on your hand and knees. Thanks Ed

I do not know much about them - but some of those old cast iron seats are worth a lot more than you would think- The Amish look for certain ones as well as some very serious collectors.

This is a simple stamped tin seat. Me thinks it not worth much.
