Introduction
B.F. Avery V Row-Crop Tractor
The B.F. Avery V is a row-crop tractor produced between 1946 and 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. This two-wheel drive machine was designed for specialized agricultural tasks, representing a period of mechanical transition in post-war farming equipment.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Hercules ZXB-3 liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder gasoline engine. With a displacement of 64.9 cubic inches (1.1 liters) and a bore/stroke ratio of 67 x 76 mm, it generates 9 hp at a rated speed of 1800 RPM. The engine cooling system has a capacity of 6 quarts (5.7 liters), while the oil capacity is 3 quarts (2.8 liters). It utilizes an oil bath air cleaner and is equipped with a 6-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The powertrain features an unsynchronized gear transmission system providing 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse gear. Power is delivered to the ground via a two-wheel drive configuration. The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at a standard 540 RPM, facilitating the operation of various mounted implements.
Dimensions and Handling
The B.F. Avery V is built on a 74-inch (187 cm) wheelbase with an overall length of 105 inches (266 cm) and a width of 51 inches (129 cm). It stands 61.25 inches (155 cm) high and offers a ground clearance of 23 inches (58 cm), which is suitable for row-crop clearance. The tractor weighs approximately 1612 lbs (731 kg). It is equipped with manual steering, and the operator station is an open design. Standard tire configurations include 4.00-15 front tires and either 8-24 or 9-24 rear agricultural tires.
Conclusion
The B.F. Avery V is a compact, lightweight tractor suited for light-duty row-crop applications. Its simplicity, manual controls, and manageable power output make it a representative example of mid-20th-century agricultural machinery for smaller farming operations.
