This is an attachment which fits to tae Ford machine, converting it fren a plea-| sare car into a piece of farm ana-| chinery within a period of fifteen | minutes. ~ By removing the rear wheels of | the Ford and placing in their stead | the giant wheels of the Form-a- Tractor, the farmer has a power plant which can pull machinery which otherwise entailed the em-| ployment of at least four horses. The Smith Form-a-Tractor mere-| ly util®zes the romarkable power | and economy of the Ford to do profit-inaking farm work It does not injure the Ford in any way. It] consists of two 42 in. wheels of 10 in. tread, to which is attadhed a] frame which runs the full length of the Ford; and connects with the] front axles, an arrangement which reinforces and strengthens the Fard frame, while eliminating any possi bility of injuring the car Other features of tae attachment are the collular type of radiaiors, many times as efficient as the Ford ' radiators, and a patented force-feed oiling system.
