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. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1077178616128949/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A408f14f8-610b-4650-b91c-ca803b090540" rel="nofollow - Marketplace - 1948 Leroi M2 Farm Tractor | Facebook

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... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

The 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.
