Robert Bell Engine & Thresher Co.

Robert Bell Engine and Thresher Company entered the tractor field in 1919 with a 12-24 model. It had striking similarities to the tractors of Kinnard-Haines at Minneapolis. High-speed open gear drives such as this were subject to premature wear from dirt and weather. For 1920, Robert Bell offered the Imperial Super-Drive tractor, obviously a product of Illinois Tractor Company.
