I was interested in the article and photographs of a homemade four-wheel drive tractor in the February 2019 issue of Farm Collector. I am enclosing a photo of the tractor my dad and I built in 1979. It was built with McCormick-Deering W-9 axles, a 145 Versatile transmission and a 238hp Detroit engine.
