In the most unlikely place at the most unlikely time.

Nice big wheels, what size are they? Is the front wheel factory or custom? HP?

Here are a couple of mine. Nothing fancy and new like you have, but they have been serving me well for more than several years. the gold one is an all original '55 DB Super 3, with the original Continental AU85 engine, with a DB planter I refurbished a few years ago. Finally got to use the planter last year. It did a pretty decent job..!!

The other is my also all original DB Big 5, with it's original Briggs & Stratton model 14, 5 hp. engine with cultivator's hilling my sweet corn. They are only used as planting & cultivating machines, as I plow & disk with a small farm tractor.

The Big 5 I've been using in the garden(s) since 1994, but missed 3 years not having a garden, while in the process of moving. The Super 3 I brought out of mothballs last year after owning it for almost 35 years. It has the variable speed changer on it. I used it after planting for pulling the disc to make hills for the potatoes, onions, & peanuts. Then on a couple different sets of cultivators I have rigged up with different types shovels, for plants in various size of growth.

Here's to hoping yours serves you as well, and long as these have me..!!

I think they are 6-16. It is powered by a 2hp Clinton engine. The front wheel is a custom addition so the tractor will stay upright when I have the sulky behind it. Also make driving it easier.

Our tires are 5-10, bit smaller than yours. HP doesn't matter a whole lot as long as you have traction. We thought about putting a front swivel wheel on for when we use the trailer.

I use my 107d as a pusher and a wheelbarrow only. I have never used the PTO.

Hi, Mike R. I saw the photo of your Waterloo 20 and had to join in. Awesome looking. I just redid a 15 (wrong engine but ...). I also made a photo parts manual for it. I also have a flyer introducing the models 20 & 40 from 1949, if you are interested in a trade.

I am picking up a 20 this weekend. I'd like to know I am getting the correct engine. What is the engine model # on your 20? Also, it looks like they moved the data plate from below the engine to behind the engine. Is that correct? It is like that on my 40.

You know, the more I look at your tractor, the more it looks like a 30. If so, it is the only 30 I've seen or heard of. I know it says "20" on the tank, but I think the 30 was the only model with the sideways square tank. But then, it has a 130-27 gearbox & that isn't a Wisconsin AB engine. Can I get a shot of the tractor data plate?

MIKE R · Feb 4, 2014

NCDBO I believe you are correct with the serial plate location.

I don't have a photo of the data plate but it reads. Type 130, Model 20, Serial 66XX. The engine plate reads model D700 2138 and its a Clinton.

There is very little info on these tractors as to years produced and other production info.

I know mine is the wrong colour, but when the previous owner restored it he thought it looked better red than the green. I like red too.

Hear is my 1993 BCS 605 with a 1978 Acme 8hp diesel. I have the adjustable 20" or 26" tiller, 28" snow blower, 40" lawn mower, and a 36" push blade. The diesel came off an older 715 that I found. Joel at Earth Tools said that engine pre-dated his experience with the two wheel tractor! I also have two sets of wheels (bar and turf). Plus the old spline quick hitch.

Hi I have a 735 diesel with ACME ADN 37/2 377cc I think 8.8 hp Very powerful because long stroke . Hard to vrank I add a compression release lever. Take about one liter hour. I use it a lot in summer.
The mower is a SEP MAINLINE. I adapt it for BCS
The 735 is a very good tractor. 5 front speeds and two reverses

. The second is very good for mowing as the third on BCS 852 .I like the two ranges tranny.
If you find a 735. Take it you dont regret. Good Luck! Oldmech

ferrari99 · Feb 12, 2014

Nice machine oldmech.

jd4310man · Feb 15, 2014

I have a Mainline SEP mower too that I bought not knowing it wouldnt fit the BCS. How did you adapt it to fit your 735?

oldmech · Feb 16, 2014

Hi! I use a Quick Coupling. For center I make a special bushing between adaptor(quick coupling) and the SEP casing.

The big problem is the SEP spline shaft. I make a 18x15 Din 5482 special spline shaft fix with bushing. Machine shop ask me 200 for make the shaft. But Now. I find something. We can dismantle a Quick coupling and take the good spline shaft 70 bucks. Good luck! Oldmech

They appear to be a lot solider machine than the BCS, how much do you think it weighs?

There's an old thread here somewhere with lots of pictures of members 2 wheeled tractors, but I couldn't find it. I would like to go back through it, would be neat to merge with this thread.
