that the 1ST 1 of those red tractors IVE seen like that most likely the creeper box was a add on and the high arch front end unless it was factory 🏭 😊 OMG 8 29 2O24
I took my uncle David (family goto tractor expert) over to this tractor later and asked him about all the things the random guy pointed out. He immediately said it's a cane tractor and nothing abnormal about it. The front end is wide and the rear is narrow, sized for the cane fields down south. The creeper gear was standard for late model cane tractors because they had to move very slow to harvest the cane. Foot brakes were a standard option on all late F series, and the cultivator bracket is on all years of F-30. That is, at least, the story as I heard it.
The gearboxes are usually high speed... they hauled cane to the refinery from the field.. they usually do better than 12mph.
That could make sense too. Road gear crossed my mind, but I don't know if it was offered on the older models.
