   What;s the motor in that? Also, I'd think it'd be easy enough to make a soft cab for this thing, that and a heater would be nice. Looks in great shape too

   The motor is a flat head 4 cylinder Continental "Red Seal" motor. I am working on a canvas style soft top with doors and a electric style heater is in the works as well. Joe

   Joe I have one very similar to yours in WI as well. Just finished frame off mechanical restoration and up graded front breaks to 11" self adj. Has a soft top made by Amish family with NAPA heater. Wanted to squeeze an auto transmission into it ( all I do with it is plow snow ) but would have had to lengthen frame and did not want to do that.

    How much does a Topeka hiway tractor like that weigh

    How much does a Topeka hiway tractor like that weigh? Or any idea of the gear ratios in the axles?
14. Tom perendyAugust 16, 2017 at 10:28 AM

    Rear axle ratios in mine are 5.03. I have never weighed it but they are heavier than they appear

    Marty are you still doing a owners list? I just picked up most of one.

    Congrats Dave! Does it run?

    Motor is out, supposedly rebuilt many years ago. Not going to hold by breath on that, many times not true. Missing some of the sheet metal, was sent to a guy to sandblast and paint but he died so not sure if it’s still available. Needs lots of help. May get put in a corner and put on the waiting list, that should put it about 20 years down the road.

    Looking at one local with a snow blade on it and homemade cab for $1000
