history

Ahead of its time was the lightweight tractor announced by Sioux City Foundry & Mfg Company in early 1911. This was an experimental model and it does not appear that it was ever produced in quantity. The builders reported that they had used the experimental model for a year with very good results. The tank ahead of the engine was a tower cooling device. Ottumwa-Moline Pump Company supplied the two-cycle engine used in this tractor. The company went into receivership in 1920 and was taken over by Sioux City Foundry and Boiler Co.
