This is a very hard to find original Kingston 4-Ball brass carburetor for an early farm tractor, power unit, car, or truck. It may also have other applications so please do your homework to be sure it fits your application. It is mostly brass and is fresh from an old collectors estate and seems to be in good, used condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind that I can see except for the name tag which could be repaired or replaced. Everything moves as it should. The throttle shaft and the choke shaft have some slight wear. It mounts with two holes 2 1/2 inches apart on center. The intake hole is 1 5/8 inches in diameter and the hole where it mounts is 1 3/8 inches in diameter. It has the original fuel line fitting on it and the compression nut has an old solder repair. The fuel needle moves as it should. These original Kingston 4-ball carburetors are exceedingly tough to find in the wild or even at swap meets so if you’ve been looking for one for an authentic restoration here’s a very nice one. Let the pictures be your guide. I think these carburetors were used on some of the early Wallis tractors and possibly the Heiders and maybe more but I’m not 100% certain of the original application so if you know please educate me! I can always be reached at 262 573 193 1 if you’d like to talk about it.

This listing is for a very rare if not unique early wood sign that was used to advertise Heider farm tractors back around 1915 to 1920 or so. This sign is around 100 years old and is painted on a pair 3/4 thick soft wood boards that are fastened together. This sign measures 7 feet long by 11 inches tall. The first image shows a white 3 foot long yard stick placed in front of this sign to give you some idea of this sign’s large size. Unfortunately, it appears that about a foot was cut off of the right end of this sign a very long time ago. This probably happened when this sign was used for some other purpose and painted on the back side. A very crafty person could make a wood expension for the right end of this sign and have a sign painter paint the part of the letter “r” that is missing as well as the letter “s”. One could then antique those letters to make them look old and make this sign look even better than it does now. I have included 2 images that show early Heider tractor avertisements that are not part of this listing. I have included them here for reference purposes only. Please notice that the script lettering used on this sign was also used on 1 of the 2 ads shown at the end of the photos of this listing. The Heider tractors used a friction drive continuously variable transmission and it was known to cause problems due to wear on the friction material which resulted in slipage. This sign was originally painted all yellow with the black background silk screened after the yellow paint dried somewhat. The black paint has a rough texture as if it had sand in it for some reason. I have seen reflective painted signs but I don’t think this was ever a reflective sign. This may be your only chance to acquire a very rare Heider tractor sign like this so please give this opportunity some very serious thought if you have a Heider tractor or collect early agricultural signs. If you have an early Heider tractor, acquiring a sign like this to go with your tractor can sometimes add more value to the tractor than what the sign itself would cost.
