Very cool. I've never seen one of them before.

The 840 was used to pull a 7 1/4 yard scraper. (pan)

The engine in this tractor is a direct start (24v) diesel with 2 pistons for a total 472 cubic in.

Nice 840! I only seen a few of these and maybe one or two in person. We talk about driving old trucks without creature comforts. Can you imagine using this to move dirt all day? Do you have a scraper for this?

Thanks farmer52, No I don't have a scraper with it. This tractor was used to pull a Waco 2 drum sheep foot. Beside, I would have to find a longer lowboy!
