Country Squire Tractor Serial Numbers

I have no idea for sure so these comments are based only on viewing these two pics. It looks like the dash panel is off set to the right as you would be sitting on the tractor.

With that being said, it doesn't look like you would have a straight enough line for a hood to reach the front of the tractor without the gas tank sticking out the side of it as well as the engine flywheel shroud. Does that strap from the dash panel to the engine look original? If you can get a pic of the dash from the seat that would be cool. From another post in 2010, here is what they said about this brand tractor. 'From all information that I have been able to find, the Country Squire Tractor Company WAS an independent company that sold tractors built by Engineering Products (the maker of Economy tractors) through mail order. They never designed nor produced tractors of thier own. In a letter sent to Country Squire owners dated October 24, 1962, W.F.

Serial number 182; a 125 HP De La Vergne oil engine; and a 200 HP twin-cylinder Miller. Jim believes it is the largest collection of big engines in the country. When your tractor came down the line it simply was given a different Name Plate and next serial number stamped onto it. In another time a tractor might have been a 'Country Squire model' of an Economy Tractor because of the particular combination of front and rear tire sizes that it had been ordered with.

Reeder, manager of the Country Squire Tractor Company stated that operations (sales of parts and service) would be transfered to Engineering Products Company and thier dealers (Economy) and that he (W.F. Reeder) would be located in the sales department at Engineering Products Company. As Jeff stated earlier, the Country Squire tractors followed in the serial number sequence of Economy tractors. The Country Squire, Red E, and Economy were all the same tractors with different names.' Based on this info and the plate pictured, your tractor falls in the range of 3262 and 3822 making it a 1954.

This rare 40 HP Reid engine is one of only three or four known and was used in a Pittsburgh paint factory. Photo by Bill Vossler • • • • • • • • • • • Jim Withers, of Osakis, Minn., has only 50 gasoline engines - 'only' compared to the others he's had during his 73 years. 'I've owned about 1,000 engines over the years,' he says, 'but I've always traded the smaller ones for bigger engines.' And what a group of 50 engines Jim and his 43-year-old son, Keven, have in their collection: rare and unusual ones like a 150 HP Snow air-injection diesel, serial number 182; a 125 HP De La Vergne oil engine; and a 200 HP twin-cylinder Miller. Jim believes it is the largest collection of big engines in the country.

Auction fever About 1964, the year Keven was born, Jim attended an auction. 'I was surprised to see the gas engines didn't sell real high, about $15 each, and some uprights like Fuller & Johnsons, Monitors and a couple of others for about $40,' he recalls. First line of defense against unsafe drivers.

'They sold a rare upright Sandow 2-cycle engine with a hopper for $140. That astounded me, so I started collecting engines.' His first engines were an early John Deere and a 2-cycle Fairmont engine, neither of which was very costly or very precious, Jim says.
