The 40-70 Imperial is the pinnacle in the world of antique tractors! It was the "Cadillac" of tractors in 1911 and it remains the same today. We're proud to represent the finest Imperial tractor in existence, one of 3 remaining complete tractors and one project. Not only is it rare, it's unique engineering and striking appearance sets it apart from all other tractors. The amount of moving parts on the tractor makes it quite the engineering feat. It has a 4 cylinder horizontally opposed engine with four exhaust pipes which gives it a very unique sound. The heavy steel fabricated box frame was very unique for the era, along with the elaborate overhead valve train mechanism. The 8' rear wheels gives it a huge, imposing stance. It was very expensive in it's day costing nearly twice as much as comparable tractors. This tractor underwent a restoration while in the ownership of the Schaff Collection and was purchased by the present owner from them. It has underwent a repair to the flywheel key since ownership and has been used at shows on the east coast. If you are into "the best", this is about as good as it gets in the antique tractor world!
