Hart-Parr Crop Maker 17-27

The Hart-Parr Crop Maker 17-27 is a classic tractor that reflects the technology of its time with a single-cylinder kerosene engine. Although specific details about its origin year are not available, the tractor sports a 4x2 chassis and 2-wheel drive mechanism reflecting its likely historical context for simpler, rugged agricultural tasks. The Hart-Parr engine has a significant 567.5 cubic inch (ci) displacement with an 8.50-inch bore and 10.00-inch stroke, a design characteristic that showcases the emphasis on low-end torque rather than high-speed operation, shown by the relatively low rated RPM of 500. Designed primarily for power rather than speed, the 11,900 lbs machine expresses the essence of early 20th-century engineering, focusing on durability and the ability to perform the hard pull tasks required in agriculture at the time. It is important for the owner to note these specifications for proper maintenance and understanding of their tractor’s capabilities.
