I saw the is FaceBook MarketPlace.   Not AC, but I read somewhere that LeRoi used an AC engine.   Anyhow, something different.  I did a little more research.  LeRoi bought Centaur, so I guess this could be called either.

     That would be an unusual project for someone. I never knew Leroi made a tractor. Did they make farm tractors too? The nose looks slightly reminiscent of an AC.
     Larry, thanks for posting.

Its a centaur tractor.  Look at the tag, if you don't believe me.  Probably a road mowing tractor, from the sickle bar bracket, hanging on the right hand side of it.  IIRR, these things had an incredibly fast road gear in them...Wink

Le Roi 105 TractairThe Le Roi company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, manufactured engines for a variety of industrial applications. In 1940, Le Roi acquired the Centuar Tractor Corporation. Centuar manufactured a line of industrial tractors using Le Roi engines. Notable was the Le Roi Tractair line. These tractors used a six-cylinder engine in which four fired, and two cylinder were used as an air compressor. Le Roi was purchased by Westinghouse (WABCO) in 1954, tractor production ceased in the 1960s.
