Mine is a Standard, typ 218, 2 cylinders.
There is also the Super, 3 cylinders and the Master, 4 cylinders.

Ah yes. This was the GT Tractor, with its front engine and driver sitting atop the rear axle for near perfect 50-50 weight distribution. With its iron block, however, the driver needed to weigh in excess of 290 Lb. to achieve the design objective.

Enthusiasts decried this model, eagerly awaiting the rear-engine model, which was still-born and never made it to production.

This particular Tractor was built with paint-to-sample ($450), Deviating color wheels ($150), body-colored wheelie bars ($200), and Sport Steering Wheel with smaller diameter ($50).

You forgot the X50 HP upgrade ($11,500), Litronics ($1200) and motorsport toe links ($1000)

5 speed gearbox.
Separate left/right brakes (brakes, what brakes?).
Top speed around 25/30 kph.

They are connected to hydraulics and are used to raise and lower your farm implement.
