Starting And Running 3 Rare Indiana Tractors - Pre-30 - Classic Tractor Fever

- The Indiana Silo & Tractor Company started out as the Star Tractor Company of Findlay, Ohio. The Star tractor was introduced in 1917 as an articulated with a planetary transmission and LeRoy engine that could do 5 horsepower on the drawbar and 10 horsepower on the belt. In 1919 the company was purchased by the Indiana Silo & Tractor Company and production was moved to Anderson, Indiana. Few changes were made and the tractor was rebranded as the “Indiana”. The tractor became popular for its light-wieght, easy to use design that was capable of using a variety for farm implements including existing horse drawn implements. By 1924 Indiana Silo had stopped production on the tractor.
Three Indiana Tractors are showcased in this video. The first is a relatively un-restored Indiana Tractor and fairly early after the purchase of the Star Company as it still has a star on the hubcap. This tractor has a LeRoy engine that can do 11 horsepower on the belt and 5 horsepower on the drawbar.
The second is a restored Indiana probably dated about the same time or a few years newer than the unrestored model. The lugs have been removed and rubber added to the wheels for parading. This tractor has a rare Oliver one row plow that was designed specifically for the Indiana tractor. It has the same LeRoy engine that can do 11 horsepower on the belt and 5 horsepower on the drawbar.
The third is a restored Orchard Model. This tractor is late in production with no star on the hubcaps, and raised lettering on the radiator. It probably dates around 1922 to 1924. The tractor sits lower than the other models to clear under the trees in the Orchard. It has the same LeRoy motor and is capable of 11 horsepower on the belt and 5 horsepower on the drawbar.
All three of these models sell on the Aumann Vintage Power 2020 Pre-30 Auction.

Did anyone else notice how easy it was to steer? Now that's incredible!
This is awesome! And those old flathead engines sound so great, nothing better.
Those engine sounds are music to my ears!
I agree that is a sweet sounding engine.
This is a man of few words but, his tractors speak volumes about his ability to restore & maintain them.
More please!
Definitely some interesting tractors
Those have to be the easiest starting tractors ever and look how short the crank is! Top points for coolness. It's amazing all the different designs and how things were done years ago. Now days, everything looks the same and with all the computer junk on them they work until a sensor or some electronic thing fails, then try to fix it! Nope, take it to the dealer because you need the damn software just to see whats wrong! Long after a new tractor is in the recycle dumpster, my oldie will still be working!
Just simply awesome to see the 3 of the actually running. 👍👏🤗
Just watching this guy start these thing, no dialogue is awesome.
Awesome part of history !
Love these old tractors. Good work thank you.
Nice!
Love your work. Long May you run.
This is the way to experience these tractors. Not talking and no music. Machinery Pete wears me out asking numerous questions and most of the time the guy just said the answer before he asks the very same thing. Did anyone notice the truck driver standing on the dock like he is waiting to be unloaded but he is being ignored?
Hey John....are you talking about right around the 5 minute mark?
It's great that these old beauties are being cared for , they sound gorgeous and the handling looks balanced . Good job 👍
Greetings and respect from England .
Man, I keep coming back to see these machine run!
Thanks for keeping the videos coming through difficult times..
Nice job on the restoration on this!!
Excellent Indiana tractor Very Nice 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely fascinating the ease in which they started and steered thanks so much
Well tuned to start so easy
Beautiful machine 😇🤠
Cool
God bless America!
There is a few that go to Portland, IN show. Neat tractors.
Love the old girls.
WOW NEVER SAW AN INDIANA TRACTOR BEFORE!
NOW, THREE TO BOOT!!
THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A BELT PULLEY WITH DIRECT DRIVE!! LOL!
THANKS!!
Even sounds better with a fresh coat of paint !
With all the weight up front. I'd try it as a log skidder.
I love the style. Still using the power unit like a horse rather than a vehicle. Much like hiwheelers these would have disappeared as new vehicles by the end of WW1.
It took me a while to figure out exactly how they were operating, but then I saw that these were tractors in the purest sense of the word. Like you said, these really were mechanical mules.
I always thought tractors of this vintage were hard to start even when they were new.... I guess these weren't...( VERY IMPRESSED)
Magneto ignition is why.
And they are a art to tune ive been told if there not tune right they can be a nightmare
Muy bueno lo suyo, se ve que tiene los motores en uybuenas condicipnes.
Wow 🤠🧨🧨🧨🧨
Pretty cool. look like the chains needs to be replaced though.
First front drive tractors I've seen.
Вообще удивительно как в во многих странах сохраняется такая техника, у нас бы давно на металлолом сдали.
Dear Santa.....
Very Similar to the Moline Universal .. My Grandfather had a neighbor who had one of those..
Beautiful machines your lucky to drive them😍 but that last one looks like it could use some new drive sprockets (if possible) considering the chain wasn’t disengaging from it well And making a lot of noise
Nice tractors!! Sounded and looked like the drive chains on the last one were very loose and slapping around.
Chains were loose noise was steel wheels on stones..
Noticed that too..... 👍🇺🇸
Да, не просто управлять этой штукой.
Wasn't the 61 plow design also for the oliver 60 tractor?
Designed before osha especially the belt pulley get wrapped up in your work real easy
Who needs osha. Just don't get hurt.
I think when one is aware of danger and taking precautions they are less likely to be injured compared to when the danger is hidden and one assumes they are safe.
With a 1 bottom mounted Oliver plow...
I believe in yesterday.
Nice tractors. Kept wondering if flywheel going to catch his coat when closing side doors back then lota accidents happen
Admirável coleção!
Tenho algumas perguntas caso possa responder;
Originalmente essas máquinas tinham borracha nas rodas?
Rodas rolamentos ou buchas?
Como é o sistema de embreagem deles?
Obrigado!
I've heard of the Indiana Tractor but have never seen one up close.. Im guessing they are rather scarce..
This is the first time I've seen this type of tractor. They are awesome!!! That is a brilliant design, the steering is great!
How much power are we talking about?
Could it pull that plow in fresh soil??
I want one!!
Lucky duck
I know where one is sitting I've tried to buy off the guy for probably 10 years now
Where were Indiana tractors made?
Pretty careful with the starting crank eh?
If they had put a camera on the front and a LCD screen...
Imagine you owned one of those things then your neighbor came home with a Fordson. You would feel pretty silly.
The original owner was Fred Flintstone.HAHA!!🤣👍
Name it Jones
Very unlikely to back flip like a Fordson
Ok now some information, engine ,years built,etc...🤔🙄
Read the damn description. Or is it to hard to click to open it up. All the info is right there.
@@ChiefAUS well CHIEF I'm not that tech savvy to know how to use these damm electronic crap I'm at my end as and since t his Corona shit dont have anyone to help me with this ,
@@johnneedy3164 Just below the short description it says "SHOW MORE" click there and the full description opens up.
WTF do you call this? LoL 😂
Moline called theirs the Universal Tractor could pull all of the Farmers Horse drawn implements..
The musician Grandpa Jones owned one of these tractors..
