ENGINE DETAIL
The Keck-Gonnerman 18-35 tractor features a 4-cylinder Buda engine running on kerosene, with a substantial displacement of 382 ci (6.3 L) that provides robust torque for heavy-duty tasks. Its hand-crank and electric starter option offers flexibility, but users should be aware of the historical reliability of hand-crank systems, particularly in cold conditions. The bore and stroke dimensions (114 x 152 mm) indicate a long-stroke design, optimizing low-end torque, which can be advantageous for plowing or pulling applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Keck-Gonnerman 18-35 operates with a simple gear configuration consisting of 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing basic functionality for agricultural tasks. This limited gearing can be advantageous for straightforward operations but may pose challenges in navigating varied terrains or performing intricate maneuvers efficiently. In scenarios requiring rapid directional changes or speed modulation, this gear setup may hinder performance compared to tractors with more advanced transmission systems.

KECK-GONNERMAN 18-35 TIRES
The Keck-Gonnerman 18-35 tractor, equipped with agricultural rear tires sized 50x12 steel, provides substantial traction and durability on various terrains, making it suitable for heavy fieldwork. The steel structure of the tires enhances load-bearing capacity but may result in a harsher ride compared to rubber alternatives. This setup is optimal for intensive farming scenarios, although it could face challenges on soft or muddy soils due to reduced flotation.
