Twin City Unknown

The Twin City tractor described seems to be an older model referenced by its hand-crank starter system and the use of steel wheels, which suggests it may come from an era before the widespread adoption of rubber tires. With a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder kerosene engine featuring a 340.5 cubic inch displacement, the tractor was designed for durability and could handle a variety of tasks. Its vertical valve-in-head engine is less common by modern standards but was a typical configuration for its time. The engine's rated RPM is 1000, indicating a slower engine speed, typical of older or more heavy-duty tractor engines designed for torque rather than speed. The transmission is a simple gear type with 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, which suggests it was likely used in applications where complex maneuvering was not required. The tractor dimensions indicate a substantial size, with a weight of 5,000 lbs, which, combined with its Hitch Category 3, likely gave it the capability to perform considerable work in an agricultural setting.
