Mongomery Wards Tractors November 16, 2017 07:52AM
OK, I know I read a thread on here years ago concerning HR, HW, ER and EW Montgomery Wards tractors. I need some help because I found one sitting in a fence row. I know it's not factory. From what I discovered, it's powered by a 1951 Chrysler 331 Hemi (I checked the engine serial number) and it also appears to have the fluid drive. I know it was repowered because with what little I can find out (and I mean very little), they only came with two different cu. in.flathead 6's and a straight 8 as an option. It would take a lot of work, but I know this tractor can be restored. My main question is, who do I get more information from? Are there any clubs or groups out there for Wards tractors? I've been searching, but no luck. Also, does anyone know how to tell which model this one is? It's a tricycle front end, so I know it's either a HR or ER. Any help will be very appreciated.

The HR came with the 230 Chrysler and the ER with the 250 Chrysler...The 230 is 23 inches long and the 250 is 25 " long..The ER has a thicker frame and is much harder to find than a HR..As far as I know the straight 8 was never offered in the Wards tractors...A few Custom tractors had the straight 8 in them..I have original sales literature for the HR Wards..Over the years I have owned 4 Wards tractors and currently have an ER..
