Tuesday Torque: Basic Tractor, IHC 6 HP Friction Drive

Wendell Kelch is a YouTuber worth watching.  He does beautiful restorations on century-old machines, and makes them run like new.  Here is one that I have been watching. You can't get much more primitive than this early IHC tractor.  It is a single cylinder, hit and miss governed, with a friction drive arrangement that appears to be hardly able.  I guess it was good enough to let the tractor move from one job to the next.
