The first thing that came to my mind was the engine IS the tractor. I see you are covering that. What makes a tractor a tractor is the engine is the frame. The name came from 'traction engine', so it's an engine that can move. Then attach stuff to said engine and do tasks. So this is a "traction motor" which is actually shortens better to tractor. The old diesel ones should be tracgens maybe.
