1910-1924

The 40-65 was a standard tread tractor manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It had a Twin City 24.4L four-cylinder kerosene engine. It was a 4×2 2WD with a one-speed transmission

The redesigned TC-40 tractor appeared in late 1911. Three of these ended up at the Taft Ranch in Texas, breaking up $1 an acre land and making it suitable for farming. The engine was changed to a 7 1/4 inch bore and 9 inch stroke, and the full-length canopy and cab were cut down materially. Radiator size was increased considerably over the original design.

The Twin City 40 came into its final form by 1913, and remained so until production ended in 1924. A longer canopy reappeared, and this model sported a power steering device. In August, 1920 the 40-65 was tested in Nebraska. Equipment included a Holley 257 carburetor, K-W Model HK magneto, and 12-inch extension rims. In the brake test it developed 65.96 horsepower, and in the drawbar tests it exerted a maximum pull of 10,280 pounds for 49.71 horsepower.
