Anything that can be done on farm by horses, can be accomplished by Waterloo Boy Tractor.

The Waterloo Boy tractors had a water cooled, two cylinder engine that burned kerosene, a cheaper fuel for farmers to purchase. The transmission was located on left side of engine, instead of in line or behind engine. It had automotive type sliding gears, Model L and R had only one forward speed, while Model N had two. (Although bull pinion gears as an in field add on were available by special order for farmers who found need for more speed)

The Model R Waterloo Boy Tractor

Until 1919, Model R Waterloo Boy tractor was sold in 13 different styles, from A to M. Style N, which became Model N Waterloo Boy tractor was introduced in 1917.

The Model R was much same as Model L, except that R was given a 6.5 bore where L had a 5.5 bore, both had a 7 inch stroke.

A little over 8,000 Model R's were manufactured, including those shipped overseas.

The Model N Waterloo Boy Tractor

The Model N Waterloo Boy was manufactured from 1917 thru 1924.

It was known as a 12-25 tractor because tractor delivered 12 horsepower at drawbar and 25 horsepower at belt pulley, at 750 revolutions per minute.

The new and improved Model N had two forward speeds, 2 1/1 and 3 miles per hour.
