Dear Marc

Many thanks for all this detailed info. I will certainly visit the Floyd County Museum at the first available opportunity. I heard about this model of the "no.1" tractor before - has anyone ever thought about building a full-scale replica of this tractor? Do the detailed plans still exist?

I must admit I'm a bit confused about the "no.2" tractor. What you are saying certainly agrees with everything I have read previously, i.e. that the no.2 was a one-off tractor. However, I found an article recently by ASME which says that "a few model 2's still exist in private hands". My guess is that this refers to the 22-40 tractors, such as the one owned by William Peterson, that I understand were based on the no.2 design??

From seraching on the Web I have located a few early Hart-Parr tractors in collections/shows, but I guess there must be quite a few more out there! Any help would be much appreciated.

Best wishes
