Interstate Tractor Plow Boy 10-20

The Interstate Tractor Plow Boy 10-20 is a standard-tread tractor designed for a range of agricultural tasks. Its chassis is a simple 4x2 configuration with a manual steering system, providing basic maneuverability for farm operations. The tractor is powered by a four-cylinder Waukesha kerosene engine, equipped with a Kingston carburetor and a liquid-cooling system. The engine operates at a rated RPM of 1200. While specific horsepower details are not provided, its simple 2-speed gear transmission suggests the tractor was built for light to medium-duty work. At a substantial operating weight of 3800 pounds, the Plow Boy 10-20 presents as a solid workhorse of its time. The tractor's dimensions, with a uniform 70-inch width and height and a longer 156-inch length, indicate a relatively balanced design, taking into account stability and space for operational tasks. The tractor rolls on large 60-inch diameter steel rear tires that measure 10 inches in width, hinting at a design for traversing various grounds. The specific beginning and end of the manufacture years are unknown, along with PTO speed details, hydraulic system type, and hitch specifications. This model starts with a hand-crank system, which is emblematic of the era in which it was produced.
