This darling (yeah, yeah, I know. Tractors aren't darling. This one is!) little cat has been on our property for a loooong time. It has no motor, but seems to have all the other relevant parts. We would like to sell it, (our grown-up tractor needs parts) but have no idea even who made it! I can see that it is not of recent manufacture, but just how old it might be ...? Does anyone recognize it? What can you tell me about it? Assuming that it is otherwise intact, but for the missing motor, what would it be worth, as a parts tractor? I will be grateful for any info you can offer!
Thanks!
Can you identify this for me?

Sort of a cross between a Ransomes (rear side frames) and a Bristol (bonnet).
What are the markings on the back of the blade?

If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

It has a Borg Warner transmission commonly used in mini dozer and US ride on tractors. Could be US made, eg Power King or Trackmaster or Clarke?

Hi,
I think what you have there is a "Windolph Model F" made by the Windolph Tractor Company at Portland, Oregon in the early 1950s.
It would have had a 2 cyl. Wisconcin engine with the Warner 2T transmission.
They were only made for a few years.

Good stuff Fred if anybody was going to identify it, then I knew it would be you.

Re: Can you identify this for me?
Thank you all SOOO much! I am frustrated to say that someone bought it before I could get a better look, after having read your posts. Isn't that always the way things go? It sat here forever, with no one interested in it; then, the moment I asked for your collective wisdom, it vanished. Argh!
We are in far-northern California (Redding), so I suppose the likelihood of it having originated in Oregon is decent. I have a horrid feeling that we took far too little for it ... $300. Of course, as I said, it had no engine, and it turned out that the track on one side was frozen. It will need lots of work before it is making folks say "Aaawww!" at tractor shows. Heck, I had envisioned someone selling all of the useable parts, then painting it some fun colors, and setting it up as a kids' play-structure! I guess that would have been a waste, but it would have made some child the envy of all her (LOL) friends! It would have looked awesome, hot-pink, with white upholstery and chrome tracks and blade... ah, to be young again!
At any rate, it is off to whatever future awaits it, with a new owner who is talking restoration. That beats seeing it continue to sit in the cow pasture, bespattered with whatever muck cascades its way. I imagine that the roughly 1,500 lbs it weighed is at least 20% cow ... uh ... manure. I wonder if I should have included that in the price?
Thank you so much for the time and knowledge that so many of you were able to offer, so quickly! I really appreciate it!
Now, anyone have a spare fuel injector pump for a Fordson Super Major lying around? I promise, if you sell it to me, I will not paint it pink!
Patience
