Did yours have a foot feed for the accelerator? I've never seen one without a hand feed for the rpm's on the steering column.

- beAbU 6mo agoThe fancy ones had an accelerator pedal, but most just had the lever on the steering column.

They're phenomenal little machines that can do 99% of what you need. It blows my mind that for years, Grandpa farmed with a little Ford smaller than the 175. I can't imagine planting with that thing. The ww2 generation really were tough as nails.
- Tor3 6mo agoThe one I drove (and a much older MF as well) had both. A lever on the steering column, as well as a foot pedal. I've never seen anyone without one elsewhere either, maybe they were only sold that way in my country.
- adamcharnock 6mo agoMine and a pedal and steering column lever, so I guess I got one of the fancy ones!
- Loughla 6mo agoSo our main small tractors were a 175 and an 1100. The 1100 had a bucket but I would've killed for a bucket on that little 175. Man that thing was handy. You could drive it through the yard without leaving tire tracks.
