Introduction
Galloway Farmobile: Technical Overview
The Galloway Farmobile is a standard-tread tractor produced between 1916 and 1919 in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. This machine represents an era of early agricultural mechanization, featuring a two-wheel drive configuration and a liquid-cooled engine.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 318 cubic inches (5.2 liters). It operates at a rated speed of 800 RPM. Cooling is managed via a liquid-cooling system with a capacity of 53 liters (56 quarts). Starting is achieved through a manual hand-crank mechanism. The engine delivers a claimed drawbar power of 12 hp (8.9 kW) and a belt power of 20 hp (14.9 kW), suitable for the traction and stationary belt-driven tasks common to its production period.
Transmission and Mechanical System
Power is transmitted through a gear-based system providing two forward gears and one reverse gear. Engagement is facilitated by a Raybestos-faced cone clutch. The tractor utilizes a two-wheel drive system and manual steering. The operator operates the machine from an open station, reflecting the standard design practices of the early 20th century.
Dimensions and Chassis
The Galloway Farmobile has a wheelbase of 93 inches (236 cm), a total length of 180 inches (457 cm), and a width of 96 inches (243 cm). The machine stands 72 inches (182 cm) high. With a shipping weight of 5,450 lbs (2,472 kg), it utilizes steel wheels for agricultural operations, specifically 40x10 steel wheels at the front and 60x24 steel wheels at the rear.
Conclusion
The Galloway Farmobile is a representative example of early tractor design, characterized by its steel-wheeled, standard-tread construction. Its power ratings and mechanical layout make it a significant piece for historical agricultural equipment documentation and restoration.
