Sears New Economy

The Sears "New Economy" is a historic row-crop tractor that features a 4x2 2WD chassis and manual steering. Drawing power from a Ford Model A gasoline engine, this tractor has a liquid-cooled, four-cylinder inline configuration with a displacement of 201 cubic inches (3.3 liters) and a bore and stroke measuring 3.876 inches by 4.25 inches. With a modest 3-speed gear transmission, operators can enjoy the simplicity of early tractor design. The engine, notable for being from a Ford Model A car, reflects the practical and resourceful approaches of the time, where tractors were sometimes assembled using components from various manufacturers or vehicles. The lack of power take-off and hydraulic system details signifies a workhouse best suited for tasks within its capacity, such as plowing and harrowing with adaptability for diverse farm needs of its era.
