Waterloo Boy R

The Waterloo Boy Model R is a classic tractor from the early days of farm mechanization. It's powered by a 2-cylinder kerosene engine made by the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company. This engine has a displacement of 465 cubic inches, with a 6.5-inch bore and 7-inch stroke. It runs at a steady 750 RPM, which was typical for tractors of its time.

This tractor is built tough, with steel wheels instead of rubber tires. It's a big machine, measuring 143 inches long, 72 inches wide, and 63 inches tall. The Waterloo Boy R weighs in at 6,200 pounds, making it a hefty workhorse for the fields. It has a simple design with manual steering and a basic transmission with just one forward and one reverse gear. Starting this tractor takes some muscle, as it uses a hand-crank system. The cooling system holds 34 quarts of coolant to keep the engine running smoothly during long work days.
