The radiator shape tells me it is a Model T Ford and the chain drive tells me it has a "Form-A-Truck" conversion on a car chassis. These were one of a few conversions made by other (non Ford) companies before Henry Ford got around to producing the Model TT truck.
Kevin Brown in Melbourne has one.
Ralph Nash of Melbourne had a "Make-a-Tractor" conversion on his Model T. It was made by a firm called "Staude" and some people thought that "Staude make a tractor" was Studebaker but there was no connection. It had steel tractor wheels on the rear and I believe top speed was three-and-a-half miles per hour. The manufacturer claimed that you could drive with the car wheels on, to a paddock and in 30 minutes could fit the conversion, making the car into a tractor, plough or cultivate all day and after replacing the car wheels, drive home again!
Ralph's Ford was in a museum in country Victoria but I do not know what happened to it after he passed away.
I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
