Ford Dragtraktor
Posted: July 23rd, 2017, 2:13 am
Hello from Sweden!
I just recently rescued one of the rare Ford Dragtraktor manufactured here in Sweden by Ford Motor Company after WW2. Dragtraktor is Swedish and mean Pulling tractor.
They were build with leftover parts from the pre war truck and car parts, mostly Ford model AA and BB. Circa 40 was made during 1946/47.

Mine has a Ford model A/AA engine, two Ford model AA 4 speed gearboxes and an AA front and rear axle. The engine, gearboxes and rear axle are mounted directly together without any driveshafts.

My plan is to renovate it to it's original condition again. Part for the engine and drive line is no problem. But I am missing a few parts that I hope you can help me identify so I know what to search for. I am still new to Ford model AA's so I am not good at identifying year and model of parts.
These rear wheels I have not seen on any Ford model AA before, are they a type that was used? They are 18 inch

The steering wheel is also a questionmark, it have had wood spokes and a metal ring for the wheel itself, it is also something I have not seen on a model AA?

Finaly, I'm missing a front fender, it is a 1928/29 or a 1930/31 model?

Hope you can help me, and I hope my English is understandably, it is not my first language.
Regards, Magnus.
