This Tractor Prompted A Lawsuit! - Silver King Tractor - Classic Tractor Fever

These smaller utility tractors were built in Plymouth, Ohio from 1934 to 1954, and were originally known as Plymouth until a lawsuit from the Chrysler Corporation prompted a name change. Terry Leonard doesn’t have just one Silver King, but three! Terry shares his passion for these tractors and the history on his three machines.

That thing is scary fast! Wow!

[@nickkercheval2704]

As a kid in the late 50s and early 60s my best friends father had a silver king with one big wheel in the front. I remember he used to brag about how fast it was. I had forgotten all about that till now. Great video!

[@42lookc]

What sweet little tractors. Them, and LeRoi and Centaur were in a league of their own. Not many small companies could produce a unibody or stressed block tractor, but they all pulled it off quite well.

[@PlanetMojo]

Just when you think you have seen all of the tractors -- another one shows up. Nice looking tractor!

[@ih1206]

Built just about 10 miles east of me. There’s quite of few of them hiding in barns around here. They do have a pretty good road gear for their time.

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

We had a Plymouth and a Silver King both built exactly the same.

[@ableprepper]

We had one when I was 10 years old in 1961. Had the "bull nose", headlights and a single front wheel. Dad bought it in a auction had a spraying rig on it. He took it off-on, plowed, raked, disked, cultivated, baled hay... He even bought a "thrasher" that used the belt drive. Dad loved it. It went with the farm when it was sold. Went back years later to find it but no one had seen it. Fond memories. Is there a club or association of Silver King owners/lovers?

[@CubCadetMan71]

Friend of mine has a 1936 R38. Beautiful tractor. Runs perfect. It is a great parade machine. Weve pulled with it in the small tractor pulls and it does very well.

[@fcarp1685]

My great uncle said the Silver King on our farm had a good road gear. I had no idea how good until seeing this!

[@justindampier9017]

I don't remember the last time I saw a Plymouth or a Silver King tractor. Always wanted one.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I worked for an outfit in Sharonville Oh. That had an old Plymouth switcher. They sold the Whse and the switcher disappeared.

[@stevenrobinson1379]

Great job restoring them!!!!

[@LarsDcCase]

Never heard of this tractor before. Great to see.

[@AfroMyrdal]

Holy shit that thing is fast!!! I don't know if its my lack of knowledge, but surely not all tractors are that fast?!

[@fcarp1685]

This is fast for a tractor built of that time

[@FarmallForever]

I know the silver king and International had the faster road speeds that era

[@kenarnold9132]

That things screaming along at 25+ mph (looks faster). Pretty much most tractors at the time (like the 8N fords Farmalls and such) would only do about 15 or 16. Heck, even today most modern tractors top out at about 30 or 35mph.

[@FarmallForever]

@@kenarnold9132 M Farmalls would do 18mph from the factory and H farmalls would do 16 mph most farmers opened the governor up on them also.

[@kenarnold9132]

@@FarmallForever I learned to drive on my dads 8n! I love those old tractors.

[@BeingMe23]

They COULD GO 45 MPH with the govenor removed.. 😬😳

[@sonjareer6003]

Very nice to see them working we are from Plymouth ohio

[@agproven]

Wow these are quick!

[@roberttaylor5668]

Looks like a lotta fun...clean fun he said!!

[@svtirefire]

Man those things really rip!

[@Harleylovinchelley1]

It's kind of Ironic that Chrysler has now canceled the name Plymouth.

[@timothykeith1367]

And its named Fiat-Chrysler ...

[@jimosullivan4866]

nice job with the restorations

[@dirkdiggler2624]

Beautiful tractors. Great job of restoration

[@Subcoolschool]

Nice, very nice.. I restore old International Cub Cadets

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Beautiful tractors. There is a Plymouth switcher. In Sharonville oh. At an old grain elevator.

[@mrLumen2]

Шикартные тракторы. Лучше любого современно в сто раз.

[@tonylong475]

I have a 1939 serial no.3914 Single front wheel It don’t run, yet someday but its a cool looking old tractor. Fastest tractor in its day

[@flhusa1]

gotta love the old small farm tractors of any name. the should have changed the mane to PLYMO or PLYMOH

[@denniswalsh8476]

They are awesome. Great restorations. Do you have any more in process??

[@johnveglio4433]

Grew up on an old Massey Furgison 35. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@transammike]

Those Silver Kings are so sweet! One day I'll own one!

[@alecgrolimond1678]

I think I operated one of those in Manitoba about 55 years ago.

[@flyingfreerv8007]

Something not mentioned is that Chrysler lost the lawsuit because the owner of the switching engine company had used the name "Plymouth" on trucks and a single Plymouth automobile in 1910...a full 18 years before Chrysler did.

[@bluesharp59]

Cool rig and video, Thumbs Up liked for you.

[@radharcanna]

Beautiful tractors but they must be dangerous if they flip backwards.

[@SchnelleKat]

Cool tractors indeed, still see some in michigan.

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

I thought the 16 mph road gear was fast on my 70, sheesh

[@AirborneRenegade]

I thought the same about my model A

[@russianacorns8080]

Yeah, hell I though 7 was fast in my farmall cub!

[@kerriwilson7732]

Saw one in Ontario at the Paisley steam show, one of the rear tires was original. B.F.Goodrich I think, from 1938?

[@brianschwerin7416]

Good job! they look awesome!

[@zachariahboyce8000]

Beautiful tractor's

[@hardyakka6200]

The two front wheel example looked very much like a Ferguson tractor

[@pauljohansson7697]

I just subscribed to your channel and hello from New Hampshire.

[@gilwilliams9036]

I'm no rocket genius. But that little sumbitch looks to be going way faster than 25mph. Lol

[@c50ge]

I have 4 Jacobsen G-10 s from the factory they would travel at 42 MPH from the factory. I only trust one of them at that speed. Must be on a really smooth road or it will bounce like a basketball with no suspension.

[@Gaming_Mania]

I own a 1932 Plymouth tractor

[@thetchannel148]

Jesus Christ they fly!!

[@kenarnold9132]

They claimed you could rake 15 acres hay in about 20 minutes.

[@cwalt4483]

You don't see many of those tractors around, because as soon as they left the farm headed to town they were wrecked.

[@eb17816]

The Silver King operators manual guarantees that they will do at least 32mph.

[@junkpilegarage7218]

I know a guy that has 10 silver kings
