Waterloo Boy L

Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Waterloo Boy Model L is a sturdy utility tractor built for farm work. It has a simple design with two big wheels in the back and two smaller wheels in front. The tractor is powered by a two-cylinder engine that runs on kerosene fuel. This engine is liquid-cooled and has a very high displacement of 333 cubic inches, which means it's quite powerful for its time.

The Model L has a basic transmission with just one forward gear and one reverse gear. It uses manual steering and a special system called capstan-and-chain to turn. The tractor weighs 3,000 pounds, which is below average for tractors, making it easier to move around the farm. It has big agricultural tires, with the rear tires being much larger than the front ones. This tractor is best suited for general farm tasks and pulling equipment.

Waterloo Boy was a tractor company known for making reliable machines. The Model L shows this with its simple but strong build. While it doesn't have many fancy features, it was designed to be tough and easy to use on the farm. The engine runs at a low speed of 750 RPM, which is well below average, but this was common for tractors of its time and helped make the engine last longer.
