Model A Ford converted to a tractor
Doodlebug tractor is the colloquial American English name for a home-made tractor made in the United States during World War II when production tractors were in short supply. The doodlebug of the 1940s was usually based on a 1920s or 1930s era Ford automobile which was then modified either by the complete removal or alteration of some of the vehicle body.[1] The preservation of examples of the doodlebug tractor has become popular in New England and upstate New York where there are several clubs [2][3] holding monthly meet-ups in the summer months to put their contraptions to the test by pulling large stone boats in a tractor pull.
