Silver King 448

The Silver King Model 448 is a standard-tread tractor with a 4x2 2WD chassis configuration, indicative of a two-wheel drive system with four total wheels. Steering is manual, which although common for the time of manufacturing, requires more effort from the operator compared to power steering systems. The tractor is equipped with a simple 4-speed gear-type transmission, providing four forward gears and one reverse gear. Powered by a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder Continental gasoline engine with a displacement of 162 cubic inches, it operates at a rated RPM of 1800. Although the power output is not specified, the size and RPM indicate it was suitable for a variety of moderate to heavy-duty farming tasks. This tractor reflects the technology and design of its era, suited to farmers looking for reliable and straightforward machinery.
