Interstate Tractor Plow Man 15-30

The Interstate Tractor Plow Man 15-30 is a vintage kerosene-powered tractor, most likely from the early 20th century given its features such as manual steering, a 2-speed sliding gear transmission, and hand-crank starting mechanism. It is characterized by a 4x2 2WD chassis configuration, indicating it has four wheels with only the rear two providing power. The engine, produced by Buda, is a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled design with a rather large displacement of 382 cubic inches, which suggests it was built for heavy-duty work. The substantial weight of 4800 pounds and size—156 inches in length, 66 inches in width, and 69 inches in height—illustrate its robust construction. It sports notable large steel rear tires with a dimension of 60x10 inches. As is common with tractors of its era, there is a lack of information on modern specifications such as PTO speeds, hydraulic systems, and advanced features that are found on contemporary tractors.
